The one roll find I like the most is a 1903 IHC. Not a super valuable one, but I found it a short time after I started roll hunting and it hooked me. I just recently started to check for WAM and CAM coins, but no luck yet. How common are those do you think? |

If you live on the west coast, finding a wammy is almost impossible. A cam is very rare, I don't expect to find one but I still look. We just don't get many Philly pennies out here.

I live in MN and I think there is a good mix of P and D and even S cents here. However I just went through a box of dimes and about 80% were D. I think I found about 5 2011 P dimes compared to more than 75 2011 Ds.
I wonder why dimes are different than pennies? maybe because it is very common to find pennies from the 40s, 50s and 60s they have had a longer time to get moved around. Out of 2500 dimes I found none from before 1965.

Out of 2500 dimes I found none from before 1965. The fact that all pre-1965 dimes are silver and worth many multiples just for their metal content is the reason why they are impossible to find. |

I wanna find the wammys too but I really wanna find a 1970-s small date. For some reason I just can't.

Every 1970 penny I come across has a small date on it. For that matter, every penny from every year does.
lol.. not sure why, but that struck me as really funny just now. I might be losing it.

In theory, well I've heard of people finding gold coins and ancients in cent rolls, so in principle just about anything is possible, just really unlikely. (You probably have more chance to get your FEC anyway.) In practice, chances are the most valuable coin you'll find in a cent roll will be a silver dime  okay, joking, a later-date IHC will be worth similar, and is probably somewhat more likely. |
