Not exactly roll hunting, but close enough...
Tonight, I resumed searching through a five-gallon jar of cents that was given to me in 2019. Found a 1918-S cent, AG3 Details, damaged. Not worth posting a picture, but it was neat to find a 107-year-old coin.
I'm about halfway through this jar and wonder if someone's Whitman folder got dumped into it at some point. I've found 1957-D and 1958-D Wheat cents in AU58 Full Red, and a full set of Memorials in AU55 to BU.

Nickels have been tough lately. Only found a 2009-D and a Buffalo nickel in 90 rolls, in terms of real finds. However, the Buffalo turned out to be a 1923-S, with a mintage of 6,142,000, which made up for it a bit. Anyway, here are the pics. Cheers!   |

Thanks, Errers and Varietys and jbuck! I had the good fortune today of finding another Indian Head cent in a Loomis roll. It is slick and (most likely) cleaned, but I'll take the 122-year-old coin! Here are the pictures. Cheers! EDIT: Also found a 1927-P in the next 5 rolls. It's not quite antique yet, but it looks kind of like a worn proof, but I'm not sure.   Edited by AllSeasons

Thanks, Errers and Varietys and jbuck! Found a 1917-P and a 1918-P Wheat cent in the same Loomis roll last night, almost back to back. These have high mintages and are pretty slick, but I'll take them! Here are the pictures. Cheers!     |

Time for a nice little flex... bought 3,000 cents on April 29th visiting the northern end of my search area... finally finished them today. 28 wheats total, but the very last one turned out to be the best one...  Yes, my 2nd 1909 VDB Lincoln found CRH! This one is a nice XF-45 example. I cleaned up the reverse with some acetone after I took this pic and promptly put it in a 2x2. It has traces of mint luster on both sides. CRH Nickeloholic. 1,600,000 nickels searched in eight years! Have found FOUR complete Jefferson sets!
