First Time Hunting Through Rolls In 20 Years

Well, I joined here yesterday, and read a bunch of stuff in this coin hunting forum. Wouldn't you know I was out at the bank today looking for coins.

I ended up bringing home a box of pennies, a box of dimes, and a box of quarters.



I started with the quarters looking for silver. Many of the coins in the box turned out to be uncirculated 2013 Nevada Quarters. probably over half of the box. I did not end up finding any silver or proofs or anything interesting in that box.

I moved on to the dimes. I took this opportunity to fill the 1965-2008 years in an empty album I had. No S mints found, but I learned that the S mints were proof. And then, I saw a 1964 Rosie! WOohoo, I broke the silver skunk with only 6 rolls left of the 50. I finished the dimes and nothing else. 1 dime of silver so far.



I saved the pennies for last hoping that if I did not get silver, I could pull a few wheats and be happy with it.

Well, I pulled a TON of wheats out of this box. I knew things were going to be good when I pulled 10 wheat pennies out of the first roll I picked randomly. There were new coins mixed in as well, but all in all, this $25 box of pennies had 156 wheats in it. 7 of the rolls had wheats facing on the end.

The oldest penny was 1918, and there was one s date, 1925. That one went into my penny book I have had since I was a kid. I also filled the 1934 slot.

The big piles are 30s, 40s, and 50s on the right.



All it all it was a ton of fun! One of the rolls had 11 wheat pennies in it. It was nuts. Wheat was just falling out of almost every roll. Only probably 5 or 6 rolls had no wheats in the whole box. The last 6 rolls I opened which were showing a wheat on the end contained:

9
8
4
2
7
8

for wheat counts

Pretty pleased with that, I hope I can get the next box in sequence on Monday. Id like to try nickels and halves as well. Gotta figure out how to dump too. Plenty of banks in the area.
