    I’ve enjoyed following the roll searching action here though I haven’t had the time, initiative or energy to do any real roll searching myself for a few years. Members here, that have been going at it, have kindly shared their finds- and allowed me to enjoy the hunt vicariously. Thank you!

    Recently though, I have begun to inquire when visiting local banks and I’ve been told supplies are still quite low, or they tell me that stuff is already “gone through by local regulars”- which is kind of discouraging.

    I did however score an interesting cent box yesterday from a town a few miles away.
    It’s customer rolled, with many rolls labeled with dates. Bread king some open, the dates on the outside don’t make a lot of sense though. For instance, a roll labeled 45-d might had 3- 1945-d’s and the rest were all from the 1970’s.

    Overall though, it appears about 40% of the volumes are indeed Wheaties from the 40’s through the 50’s, and the majority are pre 1982 coppers with less than 5% being more modern Zinc’s.
    A pretty fun box so far though the history and labels are a bit baffling.
    One one hand, I suspect they’re well gone over, but then again, I have to wonder….

    @nwcoast That looks like a collectors rolls. Question is when did he/she collect them? Was it in a time before some of the varieties were even discovered.
    Happy Hunting B)

    Finally found 2009 dimes after 13 years looking for one in change. In fact, I got 3 2009-P's and 2 2009-D's (I do admit thou that I have not roll searched dimes in a long-long, time (like almost 50 years), I have never found a 2009 dime in regular change),

    What is the draw for 2009 dimes? Didn't see anything in the Redbook.

    Been awhile since I roll hunted anything, much less Lincolns (mostly for copper), but a teller who knew I liked coins asked if I wanted a box. I said sure.

    Soon as she plunked them down on the counter I could see they were new, but I didn't want to appear ungrateful - she did lug them from the vault - so I took them. Turned out to be a box of 2021P.

    After a few days sitting on my desk I got around to cracking a roll. Third coin in I found a spiked head, not too long but well defined. Little deeper in the roll I found several of these (photo). Then several more, then many more.

    Is this normal nowadays, or is it temporary Covid quality control?

    That's the biggie!
    Super Cud on the obverse.
    Was going on ebay for about $300-$400.
    The 2021's you have are HOT! Check ebay. Prices probably went down but not much.
    Good Luck. :)

    Really? I thought with all your hunting, you have have found one by now. The extra leaf variety is also one I have been chasing since I started CRH'ing several years ago. Very excited. Circulated but seems to still be worth around $65 from sold eBay listings.

    Well, I had typed a response which in editing has disappeared...but to summarize:

    I have seen the news about the 7 o'clock to 3 rim to rim die break. I don't think this is related to that. Starts at 6 and runs vertical. 34 rolls have yielded 271 identical examples (not finished with the box). There's no progression in the crack. They all look like the photo.

    The same box yielded around 70 spiked heads. They differ a bit.

    @morsecode Welcome to the forum, love the dumb luck on the box of P's.

    I think it takes a few days to gain full access here for photographs. And anytime you edit a post there is a good chance of it disappearing completely, even if it says it will post once approved. Like a built-in firewall the site also doesn't like certain types of videos. I couldn't tell you the specifics although YT vids work well.

    Good for you Joey! I hope you find more then one. The cud errors apparently were produced late in the year.
    I got 10 rolls of 2022-P's cents from the bank-I opened one roll and found nothing and then quickly sold the rest on ebay for $3.00 a roll. Amazing marking right now for new coins!! Sell those Maya quarters right away while there is still a market.

    You're right about how Hot the modern coins have been. About the Maya's.
    Sold all 66 rolls about 2 hrs. ago. He (my dealer friend) lowered the price a tad. From $13 per roll to $12.50. Still, I made a decent profit! $159. Bought a couple other items from his shop. I'll show later.
    ;)

    Just pulled this out.
    You all know what the WCD quarters are looking like even if they're pretty beaten up so this one really caught me off guard.

    The obverse is dull with greys, reds, and greens. And those areas of yellow on the perimeter.
    The reverse is speckled with grey and blues and reds when moved around but nothing chrome like.

    Kind of leaning towards PMD because of the stains on it but I’m not an expert. Here’s a one sided one I found a few months back.

    nice images and presentation. you are obviously NOT messing around!

    i presume from the turnaround time, you went economy BUT opted for TVs? or did you go regular and it just too a REALLY long time?

    i only as because if economy takes that long AND you still go for TVs, for maybe just a little bit more money, you can go regular and cut down the turnaround time and still get TVs w/o paying for them since economy doesn't come with them i believe. something along those lines.

    for a learning process with a STEEP learning curve, only getting 4 updates a year is pretty rough.

    although, if one considering doing this a hobby with benefits (lol), all-in-all, a pretty enjoyable way to spend time and money, ESPECIALLY in the new and improved coin headquarters. hehe

    @LanceNewmanOCC
    Hey Lance - I take it serious in the sense that I rarely buy coins and am building this set based solely on finds.
    At the end of the day it’s gonna cost more - or is it? Kind of like an amortization chart I’m paying the interest upfront while earning a Masters in grading.
    The jury is still out as to what grade I’m currently in :D Just when I think I’ve got it all figured out the graders prove me wrong. But I am progressing.

    Aside from my first few orders I’ve always used regular with Gold Shield for the simple reason of the TV. Easily the best tool for learning. And yes, they’re backed up 3 to 4 months and I’m itching to get the next order off.

    For me it’s a hobby with benefits lol the benefit is flipping the excess for gold. I was gonna flip that Jeff but it’s growing on me and instead will be the start of another set. At least for now :D
