@ dogchow, same as Lesinwestvan. I have taken back up to $700 in dimes/quarters some times and have nothing but smiles about it. They always joke with me when I return them saying then need a coin counter to save me time :P. I do this on a regular basis that the girls are starting to know me right away (about once or twice a week.) I buy form about 3 banks and drop at 2 although I do have about 7 more close if I need them. ALL TD. Roll hunting is way to fun for me to quit. love it to much. A

Question to OP.. what exactly is "Lowball sets" never heard that term before.

@dogchow Never had a problem, got 2 boxes of cents and 1 box of 5 cents to go back to the bank today.

@SPP For 5c and 10c I've gone ahead and started a "circulated grades" collection, mostly because I am concentrating on other denominations. I don't really intend to upgrade them, which is why it's different than my 50c or $1 collections where the circulation grades are definitely fillers.

I realise the collector base is probably an order of magnitude more in the US than in Canada, but, surprisingly, only silver dollars seem to be the Lowball series collected up here. Check out these sets in the US:

I have roll hunted a few penny rolls. I keep anything from the 1960s or before. The most recent interesting penny I found was a 1967 with the bird that looked like it had never been in circulation. It was not tarnished at all!

I've put together one complete set of silver Roosevelt dimes found roll hunting, and 2 or 3 75% complete. I've also assembled an almost complete set of silver Canadian dimes, 1940 on up, from roll hunting.

interesting topic here. I live in Buffalo NY and have put together sets of canadian small cents, nickels, dimes and quarters from circulation coins I have found in my United states rolls. Pennies are the most complete, only missing the key and semi key coins from the 20s and 30s.
but all of my sets, US and canadian are circulation sets. I put them together with whatever the best looking coins for each date and mint mark I can find are.
Not really low ball in my opinion, just circulated sets. I even keep all of my US sets in Dansco albums even though the coins in some cases are barely worth the albums cost.
I enjoy finding the sets way more then buying the coins. Anyone can buy something, but to find it is the real fun
also I am confused as to why you guys need to "tread lightly" maybe because you mention canadian coins? I have no idea, but yeah, some people on the site have been being really rude. Seems like it started sometime in the last 6 months since when I was regularly posting on this site. Oh well, best just to ignore comments that don't make sense to you, or put you off for whatever reason.
have fun
