Cool Lincoln Roll Finds (From Bank Rolls) - Post Yours!

Hi, I'm new here though I've been following this particular forum for
quite awhile. I'd like to post some of my interesting finds. - 5 dimes in one roll -04 Bahamma star fish -01 LMC with a large die crack from left side of penny going into Lincolns head - oldest find 1916 LWC - 2nd oldest 1919-s -one I've never seen posted on here,a 25 cent piece from India, it has a three headed lion on front and PAISE,25 and the year 1986 on back - a couple of King George canadians - a two tailed wheat back penny Of course I've found sveral wheat backs and canadians and AU coins of several years but these were some that you just dont see everyday!

I would say thats a pretty good box

yup, looks like a small date.

Sometimes dedication pays off...

My current box of customer rolled LMC's sucked. It was pretty much the worst box I've ever gone through.


- 45 of the 50 rolls were taped shut which sucks.

- Every single roll contained crap (even the untaped ones). Sometimes more than half the roll was destroyed verdigris covered coins that even if were rare I wouldn't keep. Most rolls contained 15-20 coins I'd toss into the 'junk' pile immediately from each roll. Normally it's only 1-5 per roll for me.

- After going through these I then find that it also doesn't contain any Wheats or Canadian both of which I save. Obviously this box was picked through. Why I searched the whole box is beyond me. The only thing going for me was a slightly higher than normal percentage of 'chocolate' pre-1982's.

- After sorting the box by Year/MM piles I save any AU or better quality coins to work on rolls of nice coins. Usually for the year 2000 I'll have a stack of like 2-3 very nice ones and then 75-100 ones I'll dump after checking for WAM's. A lot of time when WAM checking I'll get lazy and only check the big 75-100 stack but forgetting to check the 2-3 'nice' coins due to laziness.

For some reason this time after stashing away the 2-3 nice coins I went back to take a look. When I did I found wonderful 2000 WAM; my first. Also it's in wonderful condition. At least MS60 but I'm thinking it could be graded in the mid-60's. Even though I found it in circulation, it doesn't look like it.

Oh, and I found 11 AU 2011 cents in a roll. Those were my first 2011 coins.

Anyway, my point is that I almost dumped this box after only 5 rolls but instead continued on and lucked out. Finding one perfect WAM in a box of crap is much better than no WAM in a box of quality coins which I'll still dump.

[sorry no pics, camera dead]

yeah trent..even though somebody amy have searched a box, that doesn't mean they searched for the same stuff you did...keep in mind there are plenty of collectors that never heard of a WAM or an RDV-006,etc

I found a hole filler, a 1937D. 50 million minted so no big deal, but I dont care cause its a hole filler.

Nice one! Congrats
