Interesting Penny Bank Roll

danielfreeman27

I was looking through our penny rolls at the bank today, and before I was going to give a roll of pennies to a customer, I noticed one of them looked funny. On one end is a Lincoln head penny, but on the other end there is Queen Elizabeth II. It is a Canadian penny. These are N.F Strong & Son rolled pennies. Has anyone come upon something like this before? Would this have any value at all to any collector to have a US bank roll with a US coin on one end and a foreign coin on the other?

I don't think that roll would have much if any collector interest.

Keep looking.

That's what I was thinking too, but I never know until I ask. I dont know too too much about coins.

Hey that's what were here for . Since you've got the ultimate inside connection working at the bank you have a major upperhand when it comes to new and old coinage. If I could give any advice I'd say keep your eyes open for rolls of 2009 nickel or dimes. Currently they're selling for quite a bit on eBay, but I'm sure the hype will eventually die down. Also, the Lincoln Log Cabin cent is still selling for well over face value.

You know I had made a comment "keep asking questions" but edited it out before posting above.
So keep askin' and have fun!

Thanks guys!

I did sort of get in on the Lincoln penny craze on ebay. With the second design (formative years) I sold some on ebay and made a pretty penny. Quite literally We have not seen many of them at the bank since. And I have had my eye out for those 2009 coins. Still waiting.....
