So do you want to know what you can find in just 10 rolls I picked up today? Here is a list of some stuff, and pictures of the best at the end:

1940 x1
1941 x1
1947 x1
1948 x1
1952 x1
1955 x1
1957 x1
1963 x1 (nice condition)
1964 x2 (strong strike, no fs, pictures)

1985 x1 (mushy, see pic)

1980 x1 (Canadian)

1943P x1 War Nickel (picture)
1943P x1 steel cent (! picture)







This is from the same roll as the 1980 candadian nickel. I am guessing the funny guy who rolled it thought he was being clever saving 4 cents. Funny that because it's worth more than a nickel to me. In fact, it's the nicest steel cent that I have now! (all of mine are corroded and gross)

I got a War Nickel from a roll at work three months ago, and now I've got this one too less than 500 searched nickels later. Wow!

I always save 1964 nickels with a decent strike and nice condition. Why? Because in my eyes they're a condition rarity, and that appeals to me. The details popped right out the strike is so strong. Shame they're not FS!

Last but not least, we've got this strange fellow. Is this a dyer coin or something? It weighs about 4.83g, so metal is clearly missing. Also, it has what looks like a crack at the top from the T in Trust to the L in Liberty. If it's not a Dryer Coin, would this be a coin from a die in the end of it's state producing garbage coins?

The war nick and steelie are nice, congrats. The rest I would set free. Anything post 1940, that is. That's just me so no offense.

Nice finds! I can't believe you found a steel Wheat cent in nickel rolls.

I'd say that nickel and cent rolls tend to be my favorites. I remember finding a five cent coin from Bermuda (or was it the Bahamas?) once in a nickel roll and that made my day. When I did a box of nickels, one of the rolls had a 2004 Mexican one peso coin.
