smydtyess goto coppercoins.com and you can research each year and MM that you are interested in. Maineman that is a super nice find on the 2006P, does the doubled ear jump out at you when you see it? Even though it is just a big ole dot. Working on 35.00 worth, pulled 39 wheaties (31 environmentally damaged) 8 S mints and 3 Canadian.

Just wanted to share some finds that I have come across in the last couple years..... I have only been a serious roll hunter for 4 years now, and found these 2....   here is a "type 2" weighing 2.5 grams  this seems to be another "type 2" weighing 3.1 grams but the rim seems to be worn a little  this is the odd one, I have not researched this one enough to call it a blank or planchet but it weighs 2.7 grams I would call it junk until I figure it out

i was complaining another day because I was couple months without find any cam's so I back to a hardcore roll searching so 2 boxes on the weekend gave me 2x 98 WAM plus 2 teen's ! toda I did 1 and I'm starting another box because I'm unsatisfied with the results 1913,1919 and today 1910 ;couldnt the teens sometimes come with mintmarks ?! I'm starting to think that dont matter how hard you search , the location is a big factor on roll search !btw I also found a 52S,53S,54S !

"1944 George VI" congrats amida17 I have all the George VI's except that date! I find a ton of the here in Buffalo I have 2 extra rolls and have yet to grab me a 1944 On another note I checked through a ton of the BU 1982s and 1982 D's with my baby brother before we went to a coin show sunday we made a balance to check which ones were zinc and which were copper then we looked up the difference between the large and small dates found 1982 large date copper 1982 large date zinc 1982 small date zinc 1982 large date copper (3 more BU 1982 varieties to find for the dansco) then we checked the 1970 S for large and small date but all of mine were large dates lastly we checked the 1960's for large and small dates only missing the 1960 small date Very fun looking for the varieties I have been separating BU ones of these dates for some time I recommend it if someone wants to start looking for varieties it wasnt as hard as I thought it would be

Thanks Rsx. I get a few here Albany area. Funny thing today at the bank. Had a five dollar bill in my pocket so I stopped to get some rolls. Icaused quite the stir. The 5 was a 1977 small portrait. The teller who was about 20 had to get his supervisor. Neither of them had ever seen a small 5.  . I hadf to explain to them that there were no security strips or hallmarks to prevent counterfeiting back then. Made me feel old.
