Thanks, igwt79, TomM, and Errers and Varietys!
If a clad coin is brand new looking and it's P-mint and 15 or more years old, or from the 1900s (regardless of mint), I tend to save them.. I saw the 1996 date first and noticed how nice the coin was... couldn't believe it when I removed the coin blocking my view and saw the mint mark... my exact words were "NO WAY!!!" when I saw the W. Got that one in a 2x2 real quick! The clip earned a 2x2 too...

similar purchase yielded two amazing keepers: a really nice clip on a 1966, and, most shockingly, a 1996-W!!! Outstanding!  Quote:
Needless to say, this is my first 1996-W found in the wild Jealous, I am.  |

Dime rolls continued to be productive throughout July. the second half of the month produced three silver coins, two proofs, and a steel cent. All of the silver coins and the steel cent were found in CWR. One proof was found in a CWR, the other in a MWR. Most incredibly, one of the silver coins was a 1930 1/10 Balboa coin. While I've found plenty of Panama coins before, this one is my first ever silver!    CRH Nickeloholic. 1,600,000 nickels searched in eight years! Have found FOUR complete Jefferson sets!

So last Friday, I went to one of my usual branches and happened upon a lone roll of nickels in old-style wrapping all dated 1964 and before. Said group had 16 pre-60s, but no special dates. The roll was amongst a group of 10 rolls given to the teller who was helping me by another teller to complete my buy of $50 in nickels. Curious if the other teller had other old rolls, I finally made it back there after work today. In addition to 16 more similarly marked nickel rolls (see this post in the nickel thread: https://goccf.com/t/24785&whichpage=889#4522403), there was a lone dime roll amongst the 50 CWR she had which looked interesting:  The roll felt heavy to me, so I put it with the 16 old-style wrapped nickel rolls. When I got to my car, I opened it... lo and behold!!!   The same branch where I famously found a nine silver dime roll hoard five years ago produces again! Other than a 1946 Philly, four 1964 Philly coins, and single S-mint examples from 1951, 1952, and 1953, every coin was from Denver, including 27 of the ubiquitous 1964 issues.

Thanks, Errers... definitely a dump - likely a hoard of coins that was just sitting there for 61 years - there were three Uncirculated 1965-dated nickels in that group (every other nickel was dated from 1939-1964). My guess is a family member rounded these up and turned them in after the owner likely passed on... I have no idea if the teller at one time had other rolls (cents, quarters, other dime and/or nickel rolls) which may have been part of what was recently turned in... I'm just VERY happy to stumble upon this particular roll!

I love coin dumps--collections, accumulations, etc. I stumbled into a Wheat cent dump several years ago--seven or eight customer wrapped rolls from a bank. Solid wheats, many in XF through mid AU condition. |

Excellent find, John77. Persistence pays off - to the tune of 40x face value, at least at my LCS's current pricing.
