Here is a really nice looking 1956-D wheat back penny I found at work the other day. This one looks so good that I would not have found it if I hadn't picked it up while making change. It may not be in mint condition but it's very close. Just look at the wheat stalks on the reverse side of the coin. They are completely intact. That is one of the main things numismatist look at when they are grading these old pennies ..read more

1938 Jefferson Nickle And Two Silver War Nickles Found From Coin Roll Hunting
Old Coin Roll Hunting

 To begin this post I'm going to show you the three biggest finds I found from coin roll hunting  $156 dollars worth of nickles. These bank rolls were a combination of machine rolls and customer returned change. The biggest find was a 1938 Jefferson nickle. When I first saw this I thought it was an error coin because I have always thought the 1939 was the transitional date. I didn't know there was any such thing as a 1938 Jefferson nickle.  When I went online to do some research I got very excited when I saw the price range in values from $6 to $1800. I knew that based on the co ..read more

Three More Silver War Nickles I Found This Week

I can't believe I went through only forty dollars worth on nickles and I found three silver war nickles. That's an incredibly high ratio from what I would normally expect from coin roll hunting. I guess all my hard work is starting to pay off. The dates on these are 1942, 1943 and 1945 and all of them are from the Philadelphia mint. I'm really happy to have been ab;e to pick up three of these out of such a small number of coins and will be adding them to my silver stack. I've been doing pretty well with all the silver coins I've been hunting lately. I also have a ton of wheat pennies I found f ..read more

A 1964 Silver Dime I Found Coin Roll Hunting

I got up much later than I wanted to today and I wasn't able to get much change after I went into town. Usually I take Tuesday as a day to go to the bank or ATM to get my money and this is also a day I take time for myself. Usually I get a meal and only get change based on how much time I have before the bus comes back around on its route. Today I got into town so late I only got to pick up fifty dollars in dimes. I only found one silver out of this but there were many older date dimes that might go for more on an auction. I was able to order another box of dimes though, so lets hope I have go ..read more

Two Canadian Quarters And Two Canadian Nickles I Got For Free From A Coin Counting Machine

I recently discovered that there is a magnet that my fingers can touch under the holes where you deposit coins in the machine at one of the banks I use. This magnet is suppose to catch metal junk that people accidentally dump in the machine when they are depositing coins. I've found that if often picks up coins as well and the last time I was using it I found these four Canadian coins. This is like finding free money. So know each time I use it I'm going to check it to see if I can pick up a few free coins. Here is a scan of the two Canadian quarters and two nickles I found. Maybe I'll get luc ..read more

Five Wheat Pennies I Scored Today

I could have sworn I had six wheat pennies when I started to make this post but one of them has gotten away from me. I dropped one on the floor and spent several minutes looking for it. I finally found it but then I counted and I only had five. Maybe I am losing my memory as I get older or maybe I just can't count on more than one hand. At any rate I have five wheat pennies as I fire up my printer and do my usual scan of the front face of these old coins.. Here is the image of what I have to add to my penny collection. Nothing really spectacular today. I was only able to pick up fifteen do ..read more

1964-D Mint Mark Silver Washington Quarter I Found At Wal-Mart Coinstar Kiosk
Old Coin Roll Hunting

  Yes it's true, this is the second time I've found a silver Washington quarter at a Wal-Mart coinstar kiosk. I have a job next to a Walmart so I try to check the coin star twice a day and it's been worth my troubles. I once found a handful of silver with three quarters and two dimes in it, all silver. You have to check these coin counters every time you walk by the or you'll miss out. I don't know why these machines spit out the silver but they do. They also seem to have problems with steel wheat pennies. This 1964-D silver Washington Quarter may be the most common date but it's free s ..read more

I Found Three Silver Roosevelt Dimes In My First Bank Box

I have been meaning to grab my first full box of dimes but I just haven't had the money until now. Since I finally got my taxes back I have tons of cash and can get just about all the change I want. A box of dimes will cost me $250 but it really is one of the best investments you can make when you are coin roll hunting. Silver dimes don't have that much more silver in them than war nickles have. They only have about 25% more but for some reason they go for two or three times as much on eBay. It would seem to me that the nickles would be worth about the same as the dimes because they are older ..read more

Coin Roll Hunting 36 Customer Returned Penny Rolls, 5 Wheat Pennies Found
Old Coin Roll Hunting

  As I've said many times before, hunting through customer returned rolls is a roll of the dice. Sometimes you get very lucky and find part of someone's collection. In other cases like this one you find only a few wheat pennies and maybe an interesting coin or two. This was one of the former cases so this will not be a long post. As you can see I only found 5 wheat pennies in this venture. They were a 1958-D, two 1946 no mint marks, a 1944-D and the best find was a 1936 no mint mark. I'm not going to post an image of all the wheaties but here is an image of the 1936 coin. After that ..read more
