ikandiggit Pillar of the Community Canada 1166 Posts	Posted 02/11/2009 10:32 pm These two came out of rolls I got yesterday: This one looks like someone tried to modify it maybe for jewelry or something. This is a Bahamas coin. Report this Post to the Staff

bargar Valued Member Canada 80 Posts	Posted 03/06/2009 2:31 pm I have never heard of doing this before but it sounds very interesting. I think I will go to my bank today and buy some pennies and nickels and see what I get. Report this Post to the Staff
1945V Valued Member Canada 386 Posts	Posted 03/06/2009 2:42 pm bargar, I think you will really enjoy roll hunting. Just when you think you made your best find, you always find something better. Last week I found a 1935 nickel and 1930 penny and thought I could not find better. Yesterday, I found a entire roll of George V (1922-1936) nickels. Unfortunately, nothing rare like 1925 or 1926 nickels in the lot. My suggestion is get your rolls from several banks in your chain (i.e. RBC, BOM, CIBC, etc) and dump off the searched rolls at a designated bank (where you won't get any new rolls) so that you don't re-search the same rolls.

bargar Valued Member Canada 80 Posts	Posted 03/06/2009 2:59 pm I was so nervous standing in line waiting to buy them, lol. To start I got $20 in nickels and $10 in pennies. Thought I would start off slow. Edited by bargar 03/06/2009 3:04 pm Report this Post to the Staff
mkb Valued Member United States 324 Posts	Posted 03/06/2009 3:08 pm From the numbers for the two rolls of quarters, 34% are nickel and the remaining are plated (not including the US quarter). From 1968 to the present, about 4,000,000,000 quarters were minted, with 65% of them nickel. Yet in this sampling of two rolls, only 34% of them are nickel. This suggests that about 1,800,000,000 of the nickel quarters (or about 70% of the total minted) are no longer in circulation. 1.8 billion quarters is about $450 million.

bargar Valued Member Canada 80 Posts	Posted 03/06/2009 4:56 pm Finished the nickels 1937 - 1 1960's - 6 1970's - 16 1980's - 31 1990's - 26 The rest 2000's Also 2 Usa 1982 1999 So my question is do I just keep the 1937 and 1960's and of course the 2 Usa and return all the rest to the bank?

WpgLwr Pillar of the Community Canada 1082 Posts	Posted 03/06/2009 6:42 pm Yeah, replace them with other nickels, roll them all up, mark the rolls with X's and take back to the bank. Lather, rinse, repeat. Report this Post to the Staff
psi Valued Member Canada 53 Posts	Posted 03/06/2009 6:50 pm bargar a lot of people keep all nickels up to 1981 as a form of nickel bullion. Commodity prices are down right now but during the last boom the metal value of nickels reached 4-5x face value. Report this Post to the Staff
