I'm going to follow the American forum example. Found a great coin in a penny roll? Share it! My first box I found a 1932 cent. It was the only Canadian coin I found that wasn't the current maple leaf design until a box last week - I found 6 coins with King Georve V:   I just wish that I had remembered which bank I got this box from, as I keep four boxes of pennies at a time, and frequent three different banks. I went back to my CIBC for two boxes, it wasn't there. I'm going to have to hit the TD again, but I can't get there until Thursday when they're open until 8pm. Hopefully it was them, and they have boxes of coins from the same dumper :) Edited by splatto

Wow! I've only got ten George V cents in all, and you find six in one box. Not bad.

Great Finds splatto! I have only found one roll searching about a month ago. It was a 1935!

Here's one I found in a new box that has been eluding me for quite some time  Hmm, it doesn't look pointed here in the scan. I'll see if I can get a better picture that shows the point Edited by splatto

It looks pointed from what you posted.

I'm glad you can see it MrCanada. It's much more pronounced in hand than it is in the scan. I was pretty happy to finally cross this one off the list !

For pennies that was my last, but they always seem to find another variety to keep me hunting, like the 06.

Congrats - I've found one George V (1928) in a U.S. roll, and I hope to find more. They're pretty rare down here but I love the design. I may have to take a trip North of the Border to pick up some rolls!!

Wow, the best I can find is George heads from the 1940s. That's a great box indeed! Sometimes I find more Zincolns than overall coppers, although I found 4 Wheaties in this Canadian box.

Very nice, oldest George I've found is a 39.... I find it easier to find wheats here then George's sometimes. Oldest wheat find is a 1919! edit : Nice timing, 4 rolls into this box and now the oldest is a 38 Edited by snek

I just found at least 15+ common 1960's pennies in a coin jar. What are these "Boxes" people keep talking about from banks?

Banks get change in "boxes" from either a federal reserve or 3rd parties. US boxes are as follows 1c 25$, 5c $100, 10c $250, 25c $500, 50c $500

I started doing this a month ago.It is time consuming and so far not much rewarding but still a lot of fun.I am getting a fair number of AU pieces from the 1970's and 80's.So far 3 foreign coins as well.A 1980 Barbados 1 cent,a 2005 Republika Hrvatska 5 Lira and a England 1997 1 Penny that I will pass to my grandson.Also found countless USA 1 cents and 2 US dimes.
