I'm new at the whole process of going to the bank to get coins to search. Right now I'm just sticking with my current local credit union. I obtain in one branch and dump in another but so far just asking for $xx in [insert coin type] yields me customer-wrapped rolls.

PENNIES:
So far I've searched $35 FV and here are my finds:
-Solid %20 ratio of pre-1982 copper (and Canadian copper - 2 rolls)
-10 to 20 wheats
-A 1998 Wide AM
-A 1960 small date (maybe it was a '69 can't remember)
-A 1914, a 1923, a few 30's and 40's.
-2 rolls of 2009 Almost Uncirculated Lincoln formative years pennies probably from someones collection because one roll was straight one variation of these in pretty good condition
-NO pre-1909 pennies (or pre-1923 for that matter)
-5 uncirculated pennies from the 60's
-A good amount of AU or lightly circulated ones in the 60's and 70's

NICKELS:
So far I've searched about $30 in nickels:
-1 1938
-1 1957
-Bunch of LOL 1964's
-NO 2009's
-NO Buffalo's
-NO non-Jefferson's

DIMES:
Searched $10 so far
-Found nothing of note.


I have been pretty happy with this personally, but I want to make sure I'm not missing out on bigger/better.

Is this big enough of a sample to tell if I typically would have gotten any Buffalo nickels, V-nickels, Indian head pennies, silver coins, etc by now or should I keep on keeping on with the customer rolls?

If you experienced guys were receiving what I'm describing would you stick with it or try to get bank rolls and/or find another bank?

I was hoping for at least one Buffalo nickel or maybe an Indian Head penny. I'm just not sure if I haven't searched enough yet or probably never will with what I'm searching.

(I'm using ESL In Irondequoit,NY. It isn't anyone else dump is it?)


Thanks in advance for any advice/comments.

I think you need a bigger sample, and for my preferences I like Fed wrapped rolls rather than customer wrapped rolls. Although my luck is getting worse with Fed rolls lately maybe I will try some customer rolls again soon.

good results. I've searched over $2500 in cent rolls over the last sixmonths. It seems finds come in streaks. My last three boxes have produced nothing of note. the requsite number of BU and wheats but not a single variety I could get exiceted about! Just keep plugging along....

Thanks guys.

I typed the OP at work, but stopped off for some more on my way home. THey gave me 9 customer rolls labeled '2009', some with an 'X' in conjunction with the 2009. Then there are 4 rolls labeled LP4's.

I could be wrong, but I think I just purchased someones dump. :)

We'll have to see what's really in there. But I'm assuming it's a bunch of LP4's because a few days ago I got a solid roll of LP4's that were labeled as that. I'll post when I find out.

Thanks!

Wow the LP4 rolls really are LP4's all about in AU condition (I'm new at this, so don't quote me on that) and the 2009 rolls are mixed versions of that 2009 coin. This was about every roll except 4 that were this way in my $9FV purchase.

At this time, just starting out, I could use these 13 rolls of 2009's to make 2 really nice rolls per each version of the coin. In time though this might be a little annoying if it continues. Last trip there was only 1 or 2 of these rolls in my $20 purchase, this time it was almost all of them in my $10 purchase!

I'm not sure if I'm a small fish in a big pond enjoying (for the time being) someone's dumped coins or if someone gave up on a collection/hoard and I just happen to be hitting it.

I guess I do need to look into seeing if the bank can order me some boxes.
