nickrulercreator New Member United States 44 Posts	Posted 08/09/2024 4:02 pm As the title says. Just feel like it's near-impossible now. I remember 10 years ago, I would occasionally find a Mercury dime or Indian Head penny, but now, nothing. It's wishful thinking, but it would be nice to come across something good again. Stop hoarding them from me ;) Report this Post to the Staff

I've found five Buffalo nickels CRHing this week, including two in the same roll!

Freespeech57 Pillar of the Community United States 618 Posts	Posted 08/09/2024 5:37 pm We should all place in circulation some "older coins" with low numismatic value but a lot of excitement for the finder. I know some are putting Buffalo nickels into circulation let's add wheat cents. Great way to stimulate interest in coin collecting! Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 08/09/2024 6:05 pm I try to put at least a roll of cull Indian cents back into circulation every year. It isn't always easy! Edited by Coinfrog 08/09/2024 6:05 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Maine Member Valued Member United States 450 Posts	Posted 08/10/2024 02:52 am I now have about $400 in loose change. Someday soon I will get it all rolled up and to the bank. I promise it will include some dateless buffs, older Jeffs and wheat cents. No silver though. Report this Post to the Staff

allnewsanchor Valued Member United States 58 Posts	Posted 08/10/2024 4:29 pm Same goes for rolls at the bank unless you want to pony up the bucks for them to order a box for you. I find plenty of coins to fill slots in my cent, nickel, dime, quarter folders... not near as many for my half dollar folders. Don't get me wrong...that's great and it gives me jollies. So I'm thinkin' I eventually should order a box to start. Report this Post to the Staff
