POLL: Rolls you get at the bank

nwcs

So what type of rolls do you get at the bank when you buy rolls?

bohica268

Sorry, but "none of the above". I don't buy rolls anymore. 3 or 4 times a year I roll all our extra pocket change and deposit it. Comes to about $300 if we empty our pockets daily.

I added none for you to the poll. I'll also add all here in a sec.

Lucy gets Sac dollar rolls all the time, I search em for anything interesting then I enjoy spending them. I also buy halves and spend them as well. The HepKitty is doing her part to circulate these coins!

In my former life I worked with a guy who spent at least 2 hours every day searching through rolls of pennies from the local bank...Yes, we were civil servants!!!...and I don't recall that he ever found anything of value.

Every two weeks I get about 3 or 4 rolls of half dollars , 2 rolls
of pennies, and request circulated or uncirculated Sacs from the
teller. I spend it all to buy gas, groceries, coffee, fast food and
at happy hour. The bartender laughs everytime I pay my bill with
the stuff. He is still fascinated everytime he picks them up off
the bar. I have only found wheats and 40% silvers and a few proof
halfs in there like a 1987-S.

I do this routinely and I am determined to find a 90% silver half.
Just trying to do my part.

I'm not into the roll scene but the 3 rolls I have gotten were State quarters for Mass., N.Y. and Vt.

sometimes i get rolls if i'm saving for something, just to make it interesting. i've gotten an entire roll of 40% kennedy's that way. mostly what i get as a matter of routine are quarters to use at the laundramat.

I usually get several half dollar rolls every month. I have been lucky to find some silver among them. Once, even found 3 Franklins in 2 rolls.

There are still a lot of interesting coins in circulation. These appear in all denominations
but I know the quarters the best so I get these. My set of quarters from change is mostly
just for fun, but there are some real rarities in it.

So what's the coolest coin(s) you found in a roll? For me, I've found:

1938, 1939, 1950 Jeffersons
40% silver JFKs (about 4 to date, haven't done too many rolls)

oldcameoproofsguy

I look through a roll of quarters, dimes, nickles and pennies each day that I open up the store. I find a silver quarter about once a year, a silver dime about twice a year a war time nickle about once a year and I found a steel cent about a month ago. Wheat cents show up about once a week. I have never found anything rare or valuable looking through rolls of coins.

The coolest thing that I have found searching these rolls in the last year was an unstruck clad dime planchet. The amasing thing about this is that it had considerable wear.

In order of most-fun rolls to search are for me :
1) Quarters for nice MS examples mainly.
2) Cents for the pre-`82s(copper) and the occasional wheatie or PL moderns.
3) Nickels for the occasional early date Jeffs.
4) Halfs ..if you can find them.Alot of banks just won`t order them.
5) Dollars are almost like the Halfs as far as banks are concerned.They don`t want them either.
6) Dimes were once fun to search.Now there is very little chance,if any,to find silver.Best to hope for is a nice new MS coin.Whoopty doo huh.

KlectorKid

halves! i have found lots of 40% and quite a few 80%

goyankeez

I haven't gotten any rolls yet. Although I'm tempted to try it for any 40% silver halfs. I'll try the halfs and then the dollars. I think it would be cool to spend those two denominations regularly.

cladking

Most of my best finds in quarters wouldn't interest anyone but a specialist, but have
also found a 1972-D struck by a capped die, a few 1970-D's struck on dime stock, a
1983-P with two major cuds on it, a 1968-S worn down to VG, an 84-P struck 10% off
center, a 93-D 20% off center, a 30% clip on a bicentennial coin, a '77 struck on a nic-
kel planchet, a delaware die trial strike, and various RPM's and varieties (many of which
are unreported)(some of which are very scarce).

I usually dump the coins in the coinstar machine and save the time rolling them.

Many banks won't accept rolled coin. Mine just go to the bank in a bucket and
they don't charge to count them.

When I go to Vegas , I go to the change booth and get 10 rolls of half dollars , then take them to the room and go through them , put them in a bucket , cash them in and get another 10 rolls from a different change booth. I average 4- 40% Kennedys per 10 rolls , so there are still quite a few out there.

I was going to start my own thread about my spectacular luck today with rolls, but I'll jus tpost here. I rarely get rolls; sometimes I'll ask for a single roll of halves at the bank if they have any. I never find much. Today I asked for one roll of halves and five rolls of nickels. The roll of halves had a 69-D silver clad and no coins dated after 1974. I could smell Franklins. I rushed back to the bank and asked if they had any more rolls just like the one I had gotten. I got seven total rolls. In all, I found 21 silver clad coins in VF-BU (mostly 69-D and 68-D), 4 AU/BU 1964s, and two Franklins- a 63 and a 63-D in lusterous AU. Two of the nickel rolls were all 2002P. In the other three rolls I found a 1918 in VG. I absolutely cannot believe my good luck, and urge everyone to hit those rolls. I know I sure will.

I went to a bank today and got 3 rolls of nickels.
I got 3 from the 40's and 1 from the 50's.
The 1942 nickel nickel went into my folder.
Nickels are the best to search for in rolls if you like older dates.

A week or so ago I got $10 of nickels, $10 of dimes, and $10 of cents. Got a few wheaties, a 1939 nickel, 1941 S nickel, one or two from the 50s and no dimes of note.

KINCOIN

I have found numerous cracked die quarters & clogged dies from bank rolls & most of them were on State Quarters.

most interesting find in a roll from the bank--1901 IHC

coppercoins

I have purchased and searched nearly a million Lincoln cents in my life time from the bank. I have found many interesting things, most notably a few IHCs, hundreds of wheat cents (since 1980), and a single 1863 army/navy CWT. I have also found hundreds of cent RPMs and doubled dies to add to my collection, but have never found any of the major dies. The closest to that I ever got was 1972 die#2 in AU out of a roll a couple of years ago. They are still out there!
