so I always check the new rolls that come in at work for silver rims just in case I see one I will just purchase it and today I see one and get home and open it up and it turned out to be a 54 Canadian...i looked it up and it is 80%...this is the first Canadian I have pulled from a roll oddly enough turned out to be silver...not much for collecting canadian and I doubt it is worth much over melt value but o well silver is silver!

nice find. we dont get the coins in clear wrappers where I work. its kind of a good thing because I know a few of the girls in the morning who work with me that do the change orders look for silver if they open up a roll of dimes or quarters. so I would have almost no chance of finding anything.

Searched $50 of CWR with no luck. With an average of one silver per every $250, I was hoping and praying for a silver but it was just not meant to be. BTW, I think a few chapters of my CU are loaded likely loaded again with change and I plan on asking for most if it.

I skunked out on $35 today. I also found out the roll I had to leave behind the other night had 2 silvers in it when they opened it in the morning but oh well, I still got 5 silver in looking through $45 that day. if only I hadnt picked one of skunk rolls instead of it though. I could of had 7 in $45 searched.

gold, congrats. I was extremely lucky and got one after looking through 7 rolls my first silver dime. a 44p. I just about broke my jaw it hit the floor so hard when I saw what it was. I couldnt believe my eyes. I then did 9 rolls a few days later and got 5 silver roosevelts. the 7 rolls I did today had nothing of interest but with the incredible start I had I've got no right to complain and lots of optimism. I cant wait to search again asap.

I've been lucky to find almost 100 here in Mich over the last couple years. Been hard pressed to get a little over half of melt value, even at the shows. The dealers have told me they just aren't as desirable as US 90%. When I listen to LED ZEPPELIN...so do my neighbors...

Yeah, I looked all over the internet when I found a silver canadian. Couldn't find out it's silver content so I had to do the math myself. You know people care very little when there's such a small amount of info on it on the web. Then again, you can probably ebay stuff like that. People love buying silver on ebay :P |

Ya'll aren't going to believe this. I did a box last night and found a 1964 and ........1881. 1881 3 cent nickel, that is. I started a thread for it with pictures if you want to see it. I'm still pretty hyped up about it.

Awesome job finding that 3 cent nickel! I believe you're the first on the forum to find one roll hunting!  Anyway, I finally got a silver after so many weeks roll hunting. It's just a 1959-D, but still silver! My months-long dry streak is over.! |
