Just a few of the pretty ones that I find/have found. Oldest to date is 1907 IH in fair to good. But these are definately pretty to look at.

Nice place for a thumb print I'd say in that last one....

what does the thumbprint do to the grade?
is someone better off with a crisp brown or thumbprint red?

Nice looking coins to find roll hunting.


The thumbprint spoils the look of the coin, I have found some pretty nice ones roll hunting too, and also found some with fingerprints on them.

Not only do I have a 50 y.o coin, but that thumb print's gotta be 40 years old itself.....:)

Yeah, I got two UNC pennies for free while visiting the U.S. One has a fingerprint on it that has turned black. Might as well show the other one too.


The black fingerprint one, the reverse is ok, but has spots on it

Sweet pennies, 10x

I'm heading to Fla. next week, bringing my MD (detector) gonna hit the beach and some coinshops I think. See what's going on down there. My first trip there so I don't know what to expect.

Hopefully I'll be able to bring back some nice keepers too.

Too funny....:)

But it certainly increases my odds of find a keeper doesn't it?

I have one bank that I go to and every other week it seems, they have these old school brown paper rolls with the cut-outs to see what denomination the coin is that are just dynamite rolls! 73, 72, 77, 78 I've gotten rolls that contain these kinds of coins. Some are that nice olive-brownish and some are reds like the on above. But they are mostly mint grade coins with little or no contact marks. I'm going to be asking soon if they are getting any other denominations rolled like this...:)
