Broseph Pillar of the Community United States 979 Posts	Posted 07/18/2012 01:35 am I wanna know, are there still pennies out there from before 1909? Are there half dollars before 65? are there dimes before Mercury dimes? Quarters before common eagle quarters? Nickels before buffalo? Basically I have only ever seen wheat pennies, Mercury dime (one!) Kennedy halves, average quarters(one silver after I started collecting), Buffalo nickels, and those are the oldest I have ever seen, even before I started collecting! Also, are there steel pennies still out there? I really want one Sorry for the whirlwind of questions I am very new and I really hope you guys can give me some info! I know that there is no way to be certain, I just wanna know if there is a feasible chance. After seeing some coin hoarding pics, I'm surprised there are any coins left for spending!

fistfulladirt Pillar of the Community United States 4333 Posts	Posted 07/18/2012 07:43 am They are all still out there. It does not take long to find them. The key though, is to search large volumes of coin. When I listen to LED ZEPPELIN...so do my neighbors... Roll hunting since '77 Dirt fishing since '72 Report this Post to the Staff
Broseph Pillar of the Community United States 979 Posts	Posted 07/18/2012 08:33 am Thanks for the hope! My friend and I are going to hunt through halves on friday at about 15 different key banks. There is a perfect you shaped trail of them and it's less than 20 miles total! Benefits of living near the city. I gotta take advantage of it before I move!! Report this Post to the Staff

Broseph Pillar of the Community United States 979 Posts	Posted 07/18/2012 3:44 pm Dump them? Besides taking them back to the bank? Or you mean to avoid rerolling? Report this Post to the Staff
rachums107 Pillar of the Community United States 3345 Posts	Posted 07/18/2012 11:36 pm Liberty nickels, or V nickels, can be found (1883-1912) but I've only found 1 out of 160,000 coins. Indian head pennies as well can be found, as well as Barber dimes and Barber halves and Barber quarters. But you need to search a HUGE amount of coin to hope to find this stuff. Anything older than that is simply a luck experience. Report this Post to the Staff
