Roll Searching?

Ok thank you very much guys =)

~Sean~

Well just went through about 80 rolls of pennies.

Found about 5 rolls of pre-1982 pennies

About four wheat pennies

Three (S) mint's Question aren't the (S) mints only from proof sets?

UPDATE got 11 rolls of pre-1982 out of the $ 40.00 in pennies.

Sean1011......
You would REALLY benefit from a 2009 RedBook.......in there will have all kinds of information on mintage numbers, errors/varieties, composition of all coins (example...percentage of silver...) every denomination represented. It's just a very good "information" book to have...... They also list values for each one, but these are generally on the high side.
It'll have all coins minted in the U.S. history right up to 2009.
(****Mintage numbers in the last couple years.....for instance '08 & '07, won't be listed for obvious reasons.******)

Was at the bank today returning pennies saw a $100.00 box of nickles on the back counter ask for it they gave me a crazy look but also gave me the entire box will just pt it in the safe for now.

You will not find any valuable old coins in circulation.

Even when I started in 1957 all the valuable old coins were long gone. By 1970 there were effectively no silver coins remaining in circulation and by 1978 even the incidence of "wheaties" hit steady state; these were being removed exactly as fast as they were being returned.

People simply don't spend valuable old coins and they don't accidently get into change like silver does.

Scouring coinage for old coins may be fun but you'll never find a valuable coin this way. There are many millions of rare coins in circulation and no more than a mere handful are old.

Well it depends on what you consider valuable. I fiond Indian cents and semi key wheats along with the occasional silver or buffalo. (not to mention the errors I find) No Ill never be able to retire early because I roll searched but I have found quite a few nice peices.

Pennies-Pre 1959 I keep later S mints because they are uncommon. And high grade such as AU or EF between 59 and 82
Nickels- I keep everything before 1960.
Dimes- Everything made before 1965 is silver so you should keep those.
Quarters- Same as Dimes Also look at some of the Mintage figures There Are some dates I have been keeping when I find because less were minted then other years. Really I don't know why but may be valuble some day.
Half Dollars- 1964 coins are 90% silver, and 1965-1970 are 40% silver.
Eisenhower dollars Buy Them if the bank has them but most won't. Even if you don't want them most coin shops will give you between 1.25 and 2$ for them.
Also If you can find Sacagaweas Minted after 02 They are extremely hard to find

That's very interesting... I had no idea they were still making 1964 nickels into 1966. I only knew they did that with the Bicentennial coins, making those from '75 into '76.

I would only assume it was to counter the silver hoarding that took place a year or two later. That's what I've told all of my friends, at least, when we go through nickels- they marvel at the sheer number of 1964s.

I've only been roll searching for a couple of months, and I've found a few Buffalo nickels, and Jeffersons as old as 1940. I also found a 1909 VDB wheat, ef condition, at work. So it is still possible to find valuable coins in circulation. The 1909 is worth $14.
