I'm sure there is a thread on here about this already. Has anyone ever found a gold coin while coin roll hunting? One that is actually gold, not one that is just gold colored?

I've seen someone (on a different forum) find an Indian $2.50 in a dime roll.

I have found gold plated coins. I think actual gold coins in rolls are plants to try and sell rolls.

There would be no higher lucky find for a Coin Roll Hunter !
I'd probably have a heart attack. ..

You never know what you will find searching rolls. Plastic slugs to gold; everything in the middle. While it is fun and unique, my gold piece only bears spot value. Many folks here have found coins roll searching that are far more valuable.

Enjoy the hunt everyone!!

Does it count if we twist the meaning of "gold" around a bit?

Back in 2007, I was living in the area of Florida where all of the missing edge lettering George Washington "gold" dollars were being found. I decided it couldn't hurt to look for some, so I picked up a fair number of those pseudo-Mint wrapped rolls.

I didn't find any that were missing the edge lettering, but I found something much, much, better: a coin that was missing one of its clad layers. I could tell that something was off about it as soon as it fell out of the roll, as it made a completely different sound than the rest of the coins.

I bounced back and forth between different coin dealers for a while, trying to get an opinion on the coin (one, a supposed error coin expert, told me that it was worthless, and to spend it!).

I didn't have any luck locally, so I decided to try the Internet. I contacted a prominent error coin dealer, and ultimately sold the coin for a tidy sum of money- close to the price an ounce of gold was at the time.

So, from a certain point of view, would this count?

It was a Mint-branded "gold dollar" I found, and its final value was well above that of the actual gold coin most roughly equivalent to it as based on size and weight (the pre-1933 $10 eagle).

Heck, I seriously considered buying a St. Gaudens $20 coin with the proceeds from the sale, but couldn't find a coin dealer I trusted enough to make that kind of purchase.
