Canadian Coin Roll Hunting Experience

i keep all the canadian I find - because the bank won't take it. The pre 82 nickels get set aside, and some of the older pennies. The rest gets thrown in a bag to be brought to canada some day.

3 from 5 boxes is very good odds. Only question I have is do you also search the non magnetic coins as well? If not...you could be missing the rarest and most valuable 2006 variety...the 2006P non magnetic. Not to mention all the other great coins that are not magnetic from the various years. Just curious.

I love to search boxes of cents here in Canada but I have recently switched my attention to nickels. Nickels are a bit easier to search and there are quite a few different coins of value and rarity to search for. Alternating what I search is the best way to avoid getting burned out while waiting for the snow to melt and the ground to thaw in my area.

Bought my first box of nickels today. Unfortunately the box was all 2000+. The coins were all paper wrapped and had been picked through. If you're a little careful with the paper wraps you can get the coins out and back in without wrecking them. Now to just bring them all back and try again.

I do pennys as a side gig and every few rolls I find a Canadian, just want to inquire as to any good dates worth saveing!

O-train woke up the wrong thread.

No problem.

So Far I've searched 3 boxes of nickels. First box was all new coins 2001-2012 with only 1 2000. (I learned my lesson on what to look for so hopefully it won't happen again.) Second Box I found 71 1981 and earlier with 8 young elizabeth II and the oldest was 1958. The third box has been the most interesting so far. Two of the rolls were actually pennies - but they were shiny and mostly new (only 2 1996 and earlier). Found 101 1981 and before including 1956, 1957, 1959, 1961, 1962 and a dime.

I'm going to open an account at TD because they told me if I have an account I can use their coin counting machine for free. That way I won't have to re-roll everything before bringing it back :).

I picked up 10 rolls of dimes and much to my surprise, I found 5 silvers in the first roll. The next 7 rolls had none but the last 2 were almost full rolls of silver dimes! I Gould a total of 80 silver dines in the 10 rolls. Score!!
