jbuck Moderator United States 188189 Posts	Posted 07/13/2011 6:01 pm This one has not come up in a while. It will be interesting to see what the newer members have to share. Here are two archived threads for reference... http://www.coincommunity.com/forum/...PIC_ID=40034 http://www.coincommunity.com/forum/...PIC_ID=65095 Although they were not targeted specifically at roll hunting, my answer was... My oldest find is a 1911 Barber dime, found roll hunting in the early 1990's. It is very worn, but I still have it in my 7070.

just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 07/13/2011 8:36 pm Difficult to really answer that one since I started coin collecting well over 60 years ago and early 1900 type coins were common in everyday change then. No need to roll search since you could find almsot anything in change back then. When I started Roosevelt dimes hadn't even been thought of yet. Indian cents in change were common.
