Going through some .05 cent rolls, I picked up Canadian 1958, 1966, both in pretty good shape. Also, U.S. Jefferson 1970S, real nice shape. |

coggie59 - a 1938! Wow, good find! I guess I'm also looking to complete an American set (more recent dates though, it takes a lot of searching to find the wheat cents). I probably have everything 1960-2008 in the D set by now, I'm not sure about the non-mint mark ones. Shafta9a - I haven't found any nickels pre-1960s yet, I think I'll stick to cents for now - much higher success rate |

rogers, go to the bank, get $20.00 worth of nickels, go through them, roll them back up, and take them back. You'll be surprised to see what you will find.  |

I have been doing nickels as well (searched through around 880 so far) but I don't know enough about the varieties etc to know when I have good ones. Also, I haven't gotten a nickel older than 1960 yet.

The '37 is my oldest Wheat cent, but my sister gave me a 1928 nickel that she found in circulation once! The only other George V I have I bought - a 1922 for $1. Price guide says it's $20. Edited by rogers

Made a great score today(sort of) I got a box of cent rolls (20) to look for Wheaties. only found one horribly abused 58, BUT there was 2 full rolls of Canadian cents. helped me almost fill out my set. I've started at 1960 because, although they are some what common here older ones are far and few between. Like the 38 last week . oh these came from the same store. any how all I lack for a date set are 60,69,70,83, so it worked out great Pulled a 51, 59 real nice AU,2-64.1-62, 1-66, 1-68, and a 2000 2 cent netherlands euro. thanks for your time.

Nice coggie! On the ferry today I spotted a 1944 Wheat cent in the leave-a-penny-take-a-penny tray. Not the greatest of conditions, but hey! Also got the Kansas State Quarter in change, I've gotten around 15 now. Edited by rogers

Searched another 3150, not the greatest of finds, I think I'll stick to the banks I've been going to before. However, I did get a 1924S, and a beautiful 1954 (pics here: https://goccf.com/t/39940). I also got another 1924S from my dad from his change just before Christmas I'm going to see if I can get a XF+ collection for 1960+, for both Canadian and American cents. Findings to date (11800 cents searched = 236 rolls): Canada: Years - count - 1 every how many coins 1930s - 1 - 11800 1940s - 12 - 938 1950s - 40 - 295 1960s - 320 - 37 (will search the toned and BU possibles and edit this post later) USA: Years - count - 1 every how many coins 1920s - 2 - 5900 1930s - 1 - 11800 1940s - 8 - 1475 1950s - 15 - 787 1960s - 47 - 251 1970s - 140 - 84 1980s - 178 - 66 1990s - 175 - 67 2000s - 97 - 122 Also found this search: 2000 1 Sen from Malaysia (don't know how it got all the way over here  but glad it did ) Edited by rogers
