Cool Lincoln Roll Finds (From Bank Rolls) - Post Yours!

So I went to my usual banks last Wednesday... I usually don't get pennies from this particular branch as they normally don't get too many customer wrapped rolls... well, the teller tells me a man had just brought in seven old-looking rolls of them... so she grabbed them for me along with 13 other CWR which were sitting on the counter that had just been brought in by another customer...


So I knew I had lots of wheaties... well, it turned out to be a total of 302 of them.

Roll 1: 1916, 1917, 1918, 1919, 1919-S, 1920 (2), 1925 (2), 1926 (2), 1927, 1928, 1929, 1929-D, 1929-S (5), 1930, 1930-D, 1930-S, 1934 (5), 1934-D, 1935 (4), 1935-D, 1935-S (3), 1936 (6), 1936-D, 1936-S (2), 1937 (4)

Roll 2 (Pictured below): 1909, 1916, 1917, 1918 (2), 1919 (2), 1920 (3), 1925-S, 1926, 1927, 1927-S, 1928, 1928-S, 1929, 1929-D, 1930 (3), 1934 (2), 1934-D, 1935 (3), 1935-S (4), 1936 (5), 1936-D, 1936-S (2), 1937 (3), 1937-D, 1939 (5), 1939-S (2)


Roll 3: 1939 (9), 1939-S (5), 1940, 1940-D (2), 1940-S (7), 1942 (10), 1942-D (4), 1942-S (10), 1952-D, 1952-S

Roll 4: 1951-D (11), 1951-S (39)

Roll 5: 1951-D (14), 1951-S (36)

Roll 6: 1953 (2), 1953-D (7), 1953-S (41)

Roll 7: 1944-D, 1956-D (the rest of the roll was mostly 1960-D Lg. Date Memorial Cents).

Yeah, a nice little wheatie hoard!

I went to another bank and purchased 1,000 more cents... 800 were CWR and 200 were S&S MWR... I didn't really pay much attention to the MWR until a couple of days ago when I inspected them and noticed there was one BU ender of each of the 2009 Lincoln Cent Designs. I flipped them over and they were ALL 2009 Philadelphia minted coins! Considering that I had found less than 100 of the four designs from Philadelphia COMBINED up until then, this was truly a great find for me! I had thought more than once of buying a roll set of these on eBay... well, they found me!


Needless to say, this was my best Cent CRH day of the year! Finds like these are what keep me going.

@John77

That was truly a stroke of good luck.

Outstanding finds!

Nice pick up there on the 2009's. Wonder how long that was sitting at that branch. Wish I could get some rolls from my bank. Finally have a bank with a free coin counter to dump at, and I can't get any change.

NumisRob -- And 500 years from now when archeologists are excavating your neighborhood, they'll marvel at finding US coinage buried in the rubble of a long lost town.

I doubt if any Zincolns will survive that long!
