Three weeks worth of coin roll hunting! BAM!!

[Snee]

It's been three weeks since I last posted my coin roll search finds. Partly because I'm lazy. Partly because I didn't want to have to scan my finds every day. Mostly because my last two posts got no responses and I was irritated. But all that aside, it's been great! I've been going through pennies and nickels. Usually $100 at a time. Yesterday was really, really awesome. I had gotten four boxes of pennies, and one of the boxes yielded up 128 wheats! It was half-full of these really old coin wraps and I would find around 10 wheats in each one...it was awesome!
My finds as follows--

PENNIES:

Canadians:
2001 through 1964 -- 15
1947 King George VI
1936 King George V

Memorial:
I found a 1959 penny that's seriously in wonderful shape with all detail and a lot of luster (but not full luster). Any point in keeping it?

Wheats:
(168 wheats total)
1958 -- 3
1958D -- 10
1957D -- 19
1956 -- 2
1956D -- 10

1954D -- 4
1954S
1953D -- 7
1953S
1952
1952D -- 10
1951 -- 2
1951D -- 11 (Two of these appear to have die chips or something in them. They both have the D mostly filled in with metal, and one has the top part of the 9 and 5 mostly filled in. My scanner doesn't do good enough to show them)
1950D -- 9
1949
1949D -- 2
1948
1948D -- 4
1948S
1947D -- 3

1945 -- 9
1945D
1945S
1944 -- 8
1944D -- 7
1944S -- 2
1942
1941 -- 6 (One of these is a clipped planchet. It's either that or someone filed down an edge years ago or something. I'd have to get it authenticated.)
1940 -- 4
1940D
1940S
1930 -- 2

NICKELS:

Foreign/Other:
1993, 1989, 1984 - Canadian 5 cents

And the nickels--

 

[Pennyworth]

Hey Snee, Congratulations on ALL the wheaties, not to mention the 3 war nickles! WTG!!!

I've just been reading all the posts and not posting to much the last week. I have to get my kicks from all the stuff everyone else is finding. There isn't anything left where I live. LOL I'm going to try searching nickles this week-try to fill some of the holes in my nickle books.

 

[Pennyworth]

Snee,what is the pocket change coin, is it like play money?

 

[Snee]

Yeah, I found it in one of the rolls. I almost got pretty excited because it's a little bigger than a nickel and had a hard time getting it out of the package. I thought it would either be a cool foreign coin or a play coin, and unfortunately it was a play coin. Oh well, I've never gotten one before then. It's now snuggly in the trash can...

 

[Jeffro]

Nice finds! Do you have a copy of the Cherrypickers guide? How'd they check out?

 

[bazinga]

Very cool finds, especially that war nickel that looks to be in great shape! All of mine are always in horrible condition! They are just worn worn worn, but at least they are still silver.

 

[bazinga]

I just thought that I would add a 2nd post to this just to make you more likely to keep on posting your finds since you didn't get enough responses last time

Keep up the good work!

 

[Immy]

Just three weeks worth? Criminey! For me that would be great results for six months!

And how 'bout that 43D showing up - the rarest of the wartime nicks. In 20 years I've found only four of them.

Bravo on all those wheats and the oldie Canadians. How cool to find three generations of British monarchs.

Take a magnyfying glass to your canadian 1936 canadian penny if theres a tiny upraissed
dot under the date it would be worth any where from 200,000$ and up. The 1936 dot canadian penny is a canadian coin collectors dream penny.
Be sure to check it out! nice finds and HH!

[Snee]

Well, I checked the 36 canadian....over and over and over again (just to be sure). Aaaaand, no. No dot. Nor can I even find a picture of a penny with the dot. Just dimes and quarters.

Thanks to everyone who commented. I would like some advice about the 1959 memorial I asked about though. Unless there's any reason to keep it, I'm going to put it back into circulation. (one of my 1958s is very close to the condition of the 1959 too...and that's good because it's a wheat...

 

[Immy]

The only reason I'd keep it is to put in a Whitman folder as a nice shiny example of that date. Each time I get a Mem like that I replace the worn, brown example in my books. After awhile the collection starts to look really nice. But the value is probably less than a buck.

 

[stoney56]

Snee, looks like you're doing a bang up job! Keep 'em comin'. Like Immy said, if you have a 1959-present Memorial folder and need to replace one for another then do so, otherwise I'd let it go back. It's up to you.
