Coin roll finds

Every week I grab 2-3 boxes from a local bank in the US. Most of the time, they are bank rolled.

This week's haul from a box (50 rolls) of each…

• Pennies (N.F. STRING & SON, INC. HARRISBURG, PA., U.S.A. rolls)
  • Wheat cents (13) - the first half the box only produced a single wheat, but then things got a bit more interesting
    • 1911 - worn almost flat to where I could barely make out the second 1 in the date; wouldn't grade higher than Fair
    • 1944,44-D,45-D,48-D,49-D,52,2x52-D,55,56-D,2x58-D
  • Canadian (6)

No silver, no proofs.

Just a couple days ago I got some rolls of dollar coins ( all bank wrapped) and instead of a dollar I got a Chuck E Chesse token.

Yeah, the last time I got dollar rolls, there was an adult “Heads I win, tails you lose” token in there.

Another week, another update.

  • Canadian cents (7): 1973, 89, 91, 93, 97, 2x 2006 -- I guess whoever had gone through this box was not interested in them

  • 1 Lincoln cent, so I got shorted 4 cents
  • a couple Canadian 5 Centers: 1985, 1997

• Quarters (no name bank rolls)
  • 2023-P Bessie Coleman -- It's the 1st one I've come across. Was released in Feb and, as usual, it took about 3 months for P coins to start showing up in circulated coin rolls here. The only exception to that was the 2018 Minnesota quarter. Right from the start and to this day the vast majority of the ones I see have the P mintmark.

  • One of the rolls had an (extra) presidential dollar in it. Can't complain about that :)

• Quarters (no name bank rolls)

  • Pre-1960: 
    • 39 - alas, no mintmark again

• Quarters (no name bank rolls)

  • (ND) (P) Buffalo
  • Pre-1960 (17): 2x 39, 42, 2x 46, 46-D, 48-D, 49, 52-D, 2x 57-D, 58-D, 59, 4x 59-D
  • Canada 1989

Finding 2 W quarters is nice, but already had these and there are 5 other designs I'm still missing…

• Quarters (no name bank rolls)
  • Full box of brand-new 2023-D Eleanor Roosevelt quarters. These were just released in the early June.
• Pennies (N.F. STRING & SON, INC. HARRISBURG, PA., U.S.A. rolls)
  • Very clearly someone else's dump - no wheat pennies, not even any copper. Just a box full of ugly zinc.
  • Canadian (4): 2x 1999, 2000, 2006

Hey since you can get this rolls daily could I buy some

Sorry, don't really wanna deal with shipping outside the US.

Same story as last week. :( I'll have to lay off quarters and pennies for a while and hope they get through that pallet and go back to circulated coins.

Taking a break from quarters for a bit.

• Halves (N.F. STRING & SON, INC. HARRISBURG, PA., U.S.A. rolls)

    • quite a variety of dates and mintmarks; might have been a collection dump
    • one of 55-Ds was really nice, barely any wear, w/ light golden toning. Probably taken out of a mint set.
  • Canadian (1): 1987
     

• Nickels (N.F. STRING & SON, INC. HARRISBURG, PA., U.S.A. rolls)

  • Denmark 1 Krone 1997
  • Switzerland 20 Rappen 2013 – was in the same roll with the buffalo nickel

Pretty unusual to find multiple European coins.

Also went thru a box of dimes but didn't find anything interesting.

today i tried my luck and bought 4 rolls, 100pcs 2€ coins from my bank (Germany). Nothing spectacular, my result in sorting them:

- usual circulating: 70

- circulating from small countries: 8

  - Finland: 3

  - Greece: 2

  - Ireland, Luxemburg, Slovakia

- german commemoratives: 18!

  best: Karl der Grosse 2023G AU

  • Canadian (1): 1982

Pretty average as far as the number of finds. Nothing particularly interesting.

• Quarters - my bank keeps getting boxes of unc 2023-D Roosevelt quarters, so I opted for a customer rolled box this week. Alas, the results were disappointing

No bad way to get coins.

Tried my luck with this as well with two rolls (50 coins total) from a German central bank branch:

9 German:

N#2169 D

N#2162 D

N#5053 A

N#53570 G

N#69263 G

N#139058 F

N#193506 D

N#267621 J & G

And one Italian: 

N#28324

Also lots of different standard circulating coins from different countries, but except one very nice 2018 Italian nothing I'll bother keeping or adding to the swap list. 

I don't think I'll do this often as I'll be busy slowly spending 2 euro coins now, but every now and then good fun :)

• Nickels (N.F. STRING & SON, INC. HARRISBURG, PA., U.S.A. rolls) - This time, I got 2 boxes and it was definitely one of my better hunts
  • V nickel (1): 1912 (AG03 at best)

  • Canadian (3): 83, 97, 98

I've been doing this with Australian coins. My best hit was the $1 2016 Decimal Currency Changeover coin. Nice low mintage.  N#79177 

Being able to snag silver quarters at will (more or less) would be amazing. They are at least 10 bucks a pop in these parts.

At this point, it's far more “less” than “more”. Lucky to find one in 10 boxes.

• Nickels (mixed box -- 29 bank rolls and 21 customer rolls)
  • Buffalo (1): ND
  • Pre-1960 (16): 38, 40, 41, 2x 47, 48-D, 51, 52, 52-D, 54-D, 56-D, 2x 57-D, 58-D, 59, 59-D

  • An unexpected find: when I first saw the dark edge, I thought it might be a steel penny, but it turned out to be a Belgian 1916 zinc 5 Cent (German WWI occupation coinage)
  • Canadian (12): 57, 2x 64, 65, 66, 69, 71, 74, 75, 99, 06 RCM magnetic, 09 RCM magnetic

Thanks!  Also just gotta love that one of yours! What a weird journey that coin must have had …

I like finding jefferson nickels Ms 67-69 full steps and war nickels and oldies 

• Quarters (bank rolls)
  • skunk box - no finds
• Nickels (mixed box: 40 bank rolls + 10 customer rolls)
  • Buffalo (2): 29, 36 – These were in the same roll. Fairly common high mintage years, as far as buffalo nickels go.
  • Pre-1960 (28): 3x 40, 41, 41-D, 3x 46, 2x 47, 48-D, 49, 49-S, 50, 51, 2x 53-D, 54-D, 54-S, 55-D, 57-D, 2x 58-D, 3x 59, 2x 59-D – 49-S and 50 are the best of these, with mintage below 10 million. Wish it was a 50-D, though.
  • Canadian (2): 83, 86

Funny, I went through a whole box of quarters and found nothing, then checked my pocket change and found a massive strike through grease error:

• Pennies (N.F. STRING & SON, INC. HARRISBURG, PA., U.S.A. rolls)
  • Wheat cents (14): 42, 2x 44, 2x 45, 45-D, 46, 48, 2x 48-D, 51-D, 52-S, 2x 57-D
  • Canadian (5): 75, 81, 82, 85, 89
• Nickels (N.F. STRING & SON, INC. HARRISBURG, PA., U.S.A. rolls)
  • Pre-1960 Jefferson (17): 40, 40-S, 3x 41, 46, 47-D, 47-S, 48-D, 2x 54-D, 55-D, 2x 56-D, 2х 58-D, 59-D

So, nothing fancy, but a decent number of finds overall. One of the 48-D cents was pretty nice with XF details and a bit of luster still left.

• Halves (N.F. STRING & SON, INC. HARRISBURG, PA., U.S.A. rolls)
  • NIFCs: 02-D, 05-D, 06-D, 06-P, 07-P, 12-D, 19-P
  • 10x 23-P
• Quarters (N.F. STRING & SON, INC. HARRISBURG, PA., U.S.A. rolls)
  • 2016-S Fort Moultrie -- It's been a while since I found a NIFC quarter

• Halves (N.F. STRING & SON, INC. HARRISBURG, PA., U.S.A. rolls)
  • NIFCs (5): 87-P, 02-P, 06-P, 08-D, 18-D – my 2nd 87-P this year, but no 87-D yet
  • newer stuff: 21-D, 22-P, 12x 23-P – seems like a lot of them are out there already
• Nickels (N.F. STRING & SON, INC. HARRISBURG, PA., U.S.A. rolls)
  • Pre-1960 Jefferson (28): 2х 40, 40-D, 40-S, 41, 42, 4x 46, 46-D, 47, 47-S, 48, 48-D, 52-S, 3x 54-D, 56, 2x 56-D, 57-D, 3x 58-D, 2х 59-D – all pretty common years. lowest mintage is 52-S, 20.5 million struck
  • Canadian (3): 2x 85, 97
     

• Quarters (customer-wrapped rolls)
  • 2009-S Proof American Samoa - still has some cameo left, but clearly has been in circulation for a while
  • 2019-W Lowell
  • 2019-W River of no return
• Nickels (20 bank + 30 customer-wrapped rolls)
  • Buffalo (1): ND
  • 35% silver (2): 42-P, 43-P
  • Pre-1960 Jefferson (18): 39, 2x 41, 41-D, 46-S, 47, 52-S, 53, 53-D, 54, 54-D, 57-D, 3x 58-D, 3x 59-D
  • 92-P misaligned dies (obverse off center by ~5%)
  • Canadian (1): 95
     

One of the better hunts recently.

• Halves (N.F. STRING & SON, INC. HARRISBURG, PA., U.S.A. rolls)
  • NIFCs (5): 06-D, 10-D, 2х 12-D, 18-D
  • newer stuff: 2х 21-P, 2x 22-D and more 23-Ps than I cared to count
  • misc: a couple silver-plated coins, 83-P, 92-P
  • An extra quarter in one of the rolls. A little bent and probably too thick to fit through the quarter slot in the counting machine, so it ended up in the halves bin
• Pennies (a mix of 3 different types of customer rolls)
  • Wheat cents (9): 1910 (rather corroded, probably a metal detecting find), 44-D, 44-S, 45-D, 51-D, 53-D, 56-D, 57-D, 58-D
  • 2 dimes
  • Canadian (4): 52, 65, 75, 83
     

Stopped by a different bank today and used the opportunity to grab a couple more boxes, though it looks like they get their boxes from the same nearby fed branch in Minneapolis.

• Nickels (N.F. STRING & SON, INC. HARRISBURG, PA., U.S.A. rolls)
  • WWII 35% silver (2): 43-P, 45-P
  • Pre-1960 Jefferson (20): 2x 39, 40-D, 2x 46, 46-D, 47, 48-D, 49, 51-D, 2x 53-D, 54, 56-D, 2x 57-D, 58-D, 3x 59-D
  • Canadian: 1986
  • Swiss: 20 Rappen 1970 - The last time I found one of these was back in July. This one is the 2nd most common year after 1991.
• Pennies (N.F. STRING & SON, INC. HARRISBURG, PA., U.S.A. rolls)
  • Wheat cents (5): 45-S, 46, 46-S, 48-S, 53-D
  • 2009 Lincoln bicentennial / Formative Years - noticed it had a thicker edge and a really nice finish with a lighter color than regular copper plated zinc cents. Checked the weight - 3.16g - so turned out to be km442a (bronze w/ Satin finish)
  • Canadian (10): 50, 52, 69, 73, 77, 78, 80, 2х 89, 99

So, a good nickel box. The penny box was a bit light on wheat cents, but at the same time very unusual to have so many with the S mintmark. And, I'm pretty pleased about that 2009.
 

• Quarters (no-name bank rolls)
  • 2019-W Lowell
  • a rather worn UK 10 Pence 1992 (N#879)

So, still finding Ws, just not the ones I'm looking for.

• Nickels (N.F. STRING & SON, INC. HARRISBURG, PA., U.S.A. rolls)
  • Pre-1960 Jefferson (31): 39, 40, 2x 41, 2x 42 (both CN), 46, 47-S, 49, 49-D, 51, 51-S, 2x 52, 2x 52-D, 53, 54-D, 54-S, 55-D, 2x 56, 56-D, 57, 57-D, 3x 58-D, 3x 59-D

Quite a variety of dates, but nothing I don't already have and no silver this time. The best find of the box was an AU 1956.
 

• Nickels (N.F. STRING & SON, INC. HARRISBURG, PA., U.S.A. rolls)
  • Pre-1960 Jefferson (26): 38, 38-D (semi-key date), 39, 3x 41, 42, 42-D, 46, 48-D, 49, 50, 4x 52, 52-S, 53-D, 54-D, 2x 57-D, 3x 58-D, 2x 59-D
  • Canadian (2): 82, 84

That was the first 38-D for me. Still missing 38-S, 39-S, and the ever so elusive 50-D.

• Pennies (N.F. STRING & SON, INC. HARRISBURG, PA., U.S.A. rolls)
  • Wheat cents (7): 44, 46, 49, 54-D, 55-D, 56, 58-D
  • A bunch of older BU Lincoln Memorial cents: 3x 59-D, 60, 2x 61-D, 62, 2x 62-D, 64-D, 65, 3x 67, 68, 69, 2x 69-S, 71-D, 2x 71-S, 72, 73, 73-D
  • Canadian (9)
    • George VI: 45, 50
    • Elizabeth II: 54, 64, 65, 2x 75, 82, 87, 88, 2010
       

A little light on wheat cents again, but Lincoln Memorial cents were great. Did I hit someone's collection dump?

• Halves (N.F. STRING & SON, INC. HARRISBURG, PA., U.S.A. rolls)
  • NIFCs: 03-D, 03-P, 05-P, 10D, 17-D
  • Recent: 22-D
• Quarters (no-name bank rolls)
  • 2016-S Bombay Hook - Clearly has been in circulation for a while. I'd say ~XF45
  • 3x 2023-D Jovita Idar - Released on Aug 15, these are only starting to show up in my area now. Still haven't seen any Maria Tallchief quarters (released on Oct 23)

I did a further test of 4 rolls, 100 pieces of 2€ coins in germany. This time:

72 coins common circulating.

only 5 coins circulating of small countries:

- Ireland (2)

- finland, Slovakia, Lithuania

17 german commemorative coins.

6 foreign commemorative coins. Here are interesting coins, but used condition:

Italy 2005 costituzione europea

Finland 2017 100 years ..

Austria 2016 200 years national Bank

Netherlands 2013 200 years of kingdom

2 multinational coins.

Better put them away somewhere safe, before your girlfriend uses them for laundry 😄

• Dimes (bank rolls)

• Pennies (bank rolls)
  • Wheat cents (6): 30-D (XF details, but corrosion on the reverse), 50-D, 2x 57-D, 2x 58-D (1 that looks like an ender from an old roll that someone had opened; unc details with some spotting from oxidation on the obverse and bu reverse)
  • Canadian (5): 57, 70, 2x 80, 89

• Quarters (bank rolls)
  • 2016-S Fort Moultrie – Found one with the S mintmark a couple months ago, too. This one is a bit more worn.
  • 2023-P Eleanor Roosevelt – This is the first one with the P mintmark that I've come across . Ds are already very common at this point.

Third box in a row w/o any W quarters.

• Nickels (bank rolls)
  • WWII 35% silver (1): 44-S
  • Pre-1960 Jefferson (31): 4x 41, 3x46, 2x 46-D, 47-D, 49-D, 51, 51-D, 52-D, 2x 53, 53-D, 54, 54-D, 55-D, 2x 56-D, 3x 57-D, 58, 4x 58-D, 59 – no key dates; 2 with the lowest mintage were 51-D (20 mil)  and 58 (17 mil)
  • Canadian (1): 83

Thought it would be nice to show the Canadian side of coin rolls too from my last hunt

40 customer-wrapped nickel rolls

-  (4)  1953-1964 Young Heads: 1960, 3 1964s (no die clash)

- (65) 1965-1981 Nickel Second Portraits

    -> (1) 1970 (low mintage)
    -> (3) 1967 Canada 100 Commemoratives

- (24) Americans
    -> oldest was a 1964 D
    -> 2005 Bison and Ocean View Commemoratives
 

-(1) 2002 dime
-(1) 2000 penny

A bit less in the Young Heads than what I usually get but an unusual amount of Americans  + the 1970 and the Canada 100s were nice

I know no new ones have been struck for many years, but are Canadian 1 cents still used in circulation?

Houseofham

Not really. When banks get them, they send them in to the Mint which melts them. If you have some, you can still spend it anywhere, but why waste your and everyone else's time? If you don't have any on hand, they round the total. So, if the total is $1.62 or $3.36, there's no use of pennies, the total will be rounded down to $1.60 and $3.35 anyway. But if you still decide to pay with them, the business sends them to the bank, which of course sends them to the mint for melting.

• Quarters (bank rolls)
  • 2019-W San Antonio Missions -- 1st W of the year. Last year, found 9 of these
  • Panama 1993 Cvarto de Balboa -- already have a 1966 of this type in better condition, so sending this one back into circulation

• Nickels (bank rolls)
  • Pre-1960 Jefferson (19): 38-D (solid XF), 2x 41, 41-S, 42, 46-D, 46-S, 48, 48-D, 49-D, 52-D, 53-D, 2x 54, 2х 54-D, 55, 2x 58-D, 59-D

One of the 41s was pretty nice, even has visible steps on Monticello. I'd put it at AU50. Lowest mintage: 38-D (5,376,000) and 55 (7,888,000).
 

jc'scoins

Just a couple days ago I got some rolls of dollar coins ( all bank wrapped) and instead of a dollar I got a Chuck E Chesse token.

 

Did you grade the token, because people would grade the chuck e cheese tokens now days 

• Halves (bank rolls)
  • NIFCs (9): 03-D, 05-D, 08-P, 11-P, 14-D, 16-D, 2x 18-D, 20-P
  • Newer: 21-P, 23-Ps beyond count

• Quarters (bank rolls)
  • 2006-S Proof Colorado
  • 2019-P San Antoniо Missions – die chip below the bottom leg of the cross
     

It's been months since I found any silver, other than WWII nickels.  I wonder if it's even worth hunting halves anymore.

5 rolls of Quarters:
-1968, checked it for silver but it stuck to the magnet :(
-2008 nickel

25 rolls of Nickels:
-(5) Young Heads: 3 '64s, 63, 62
-(30) Nickel Second Portraits
-(2) 2000 P's
-(5) Americans, including a 1946 D

First time I did quarters in a while. I don't think the '46 is anything special but still nice to get some older Americans.

It is harder to find silver coins in dimes quarters and halves I find more silver in nickel boxes about 1-3 per box 

• Quarters (bank rolls)
  • 2019-S War in the Pacific – This makes it the first design that I've found with all 4 (D,P,S,W) mintmarks
  • 2019-W San Antonio Missions – Will I ever see another W design again?
• Nickels (bank rolls)
  • Pre-1960 Jefferson (23): 41, 42, 2x 46-D, 2x 47, 47-D, 48, 49, 2x 49-D, 51-D, 52, 52-D, 2x 54-D, 55-D, 56, 56-D, 57, 58-D, 2x 59-D
  • Canadian: 83

• Quarters (bank rolls)
  • no finds other than a couple upgrades and the latest of last year's new quarters which I didn't have yet: 2013-D and 2013-P Maria Tallchief
• Pennies (customer-wrapped rolls)
  • Wheat cents (5): 19-D (F/VF), 41, 44-S (damaged), 54-D, 55
  • Canadian (9): 68, 71, 3х 74, 80, 81, 89, 00
  • 2 dimes – good to offset all the short rolls

Not the best of hunts, but not a total disappointment.

5 rolls of quarters: (first time seeing machine wrapped quarters)
- Colored 2004 Poppy, Breast Cancer and Brock quarters

25 rolls of nickels:
-(3) George VI's: ‘50, ’49, '47 maple leaf
-(11) Young Heads: (7) ‘64, (2) ’62, (2) 61
-(77) “Nickel” Nickels
-(17) Americans, oldest was a 1970 S
-(1) 2019 dime

• Quarters (bank rolls)
  • 2002-S Proof Ohio - Most of the cameo still intact; doesn't look like it's been in circulation very long
  • 2019-W War in the Pacific - a little wear, but in decent shape overall
• Nickels (customer rolls - 4 different wrapper types)
  • pre-1960 Jefferson (18): 40, 40-S, 41, 2x 42, 42-D, 46-S, 47-D, 47-S, 51-D, 2x 54-D, 56-D, 57, 57-D, 3x 58-D – all pretty common stuff

Good evening,

@Houseofham , how long does it take you to search a box of each denomination?

I used to love searching, but it is getting harder and harder to find time.

It used to take me about an hour for a box of halfs, 3 hrs for a box of quarters. Never have I searched a box of dimes or pennies though.

That sounds about right, though with all the breaks I take, it takes longer, plus re-rolling takes another 15-20 minutes per box. Usually, I search while listening to something in the background, like news, an audio book, or something on YouTube.

I've stopped searching dimes now - too hard on my eyes. I still search pennies because wheat cents are easy to spot  and there's more foreign coins that size and only a few zinc cents worth scoping. Dollars I only hunt maybe twice a year - there is no silver to find and I don't like the alloy they chose for them.

Yeah. Dimes and new dollars are not too convenient for me. Thanks for the info!

*Only listing finds from NIFC years, when a smaller number of coins was struck only for collectors. These coins were not released directly into circulation and could only be purchased, either individually or as rolls, from the Mint. They often end up in circulation when those who purchased rolls spend any extras they don't feel like keeping. So, they are relatively uncommon, but not rare, and barely have any value above face.

For Anthony dollars, the NIFC year is 1981.
For Sacajawea/Native American dollars, the NIFC years are 2002-2008 and 2012-present.
For Presidential dollars, the NIFC years are 2012-2016 and 2020.

All Innovation dollars are NIFC.

I was already beginning to think I'd have to run to the bank Saturday morning and pick up another box or two, or I'd have nothing to post about, but the last 2 rolls saved the hunt AND that was the last 2019-W design I was missing and it's in great condition. Still missing 3 Ws from 2020, though, so the hunt continues.

Total hunted from March 2023 to March 2024:
pennies - 18 boxes
nickels - 31 box
dimes - 3 boxes + 20 rolls
quarters - 37 boxes
halves - 11 boxes
dollars - 22 rolls
 

If you add up the weight of all these boxes, I have literally gone through a ton of change!

Happy anniversary!  

How many rolls on the last search?

a full box - 50 rolls

Don't worry, we can look for pennies in boxes even in the center of Europe.

I'm curious, how much does one have to pay for a box of pennies? I imagine it's not going to be that cheap to ship a box of coins to Europe.

Have a nice weekend in the United States of America cents.

• Halves (bank rolls)
  • NIFCs (14): 02-D, 03-D, 03-P, 04-P, 05-D, 3x 05-P, 06-D, 10-D, 2x 10-P, 16-P, 18-D
  • newer: 3x 21-D, 21-P, 2x 22-D, 2x 23-P
  • misc
    • 71-D counter-stamped with initials C (left) J (right) of Kennedy's portrait
    • a roll with a quarter in it – so, got shorted 25 cents

Pretty typical results. Plenty of NIFCs and no silver.

• Quarters (bank rolls)
  • A couple very nice bicentennial quarters (the yellow color on the left is just a reflection from the overhead light; both coins are blast white)
    
    
  • a very nice 1986-P – hard to find in circulation in high grade
  • 2019-W San Antonio Missions

This is the 12th San Antonio Missions W I have found. Maybe I can make a roll of them one day. 😁

• Quarters (bank rolls)
  • 1978-D UNC
  • 1983-D AU (very close to UNC but not quite)
  • misc finds
    • there were a few with holes, like someone had a quarter necklace
    • counter-struck 1999-D New Jersey – someone got a bit carried away with their creativity
      

So, no Ws this time, but a couple nicer older quarters. There was a lot of 2023-D Maria Tallchief quarters, but no 2024 Rev. Dr. Pauli Murray yet, even though they released over a month ago.

• Nickels (bank rolls)
  • Buffalo: 2x ND no mm
  • WWII 35% silver: 44-P
  • Pre-1960 Jefferson (27): 2x 39, 3x 40, 41, 41-S (large S), 2x 46, 46-D, 47-D, 2x 48, 49, 2x 52, 52-D, 53-D, 53-S (better date), 54-D, 2x 55-D, 56-D, 2x 57-D, 2x 59-D
  • Canadian (3): 88, 95, 00
  • UK: 1 New Penny 1980

Btw, here is the difference between 1941 large and small S:

• Quarters (bank rolls)
  • 1982-D AU/UNC – early 80s are tough to find in better grades
  • 1999-S New Jersey Proof
  • 2005-S California Proof

• Nickels (bank rolls)
  • WWII 35% silver: 45-P
  • Pre-1960 Jefferson (19): 38 (first year), 39, 2x 40, 40-S, 41, 41-D (solid XF), 47, 2x 47-D, 52, 53-D, 54-S, 56, 56-D, 57-D, 2x 58-D, 59-D
  • Canadian (3): 2x 85, 92 (confederation)

• Quarters (bank rolls)
  • skunk box

Third box in a row without any Ws.

• Pennies (customer-wrapped rolls)
  • Wheat cents (7): 2x 41, 44, 2x 46, 47-D, 57-D

Looks like someone had already picked out all the good stuff. There weren't even any Canadian cents.

• Halves (bank rolls)
  • clad 1976-S Bicentennial Proof
  • NIFCs (7): 87-D, 07-P, 10-D, 18-D, 2x 19-D, 20-P
  • newer: 3x 21-P, 22-D, 2x 22-P, 23-D, several rolls worth of 23-Ps

First time I've found a Bicentennial proof, first 87-D (I have found a couple 87s before, but not a D), and first 23-D. No 24s yet - product schedule on the US Mint site says they'll be released Apr 23, but it's likely going to be weeks, if not months, before I see any.

• Nickels (bank rolls)
  • WWII 35% silver (3): 42-P, 43-P, 45-S
  • Pre-1960 Jefferson (20): 38, 40-D, 3x 41, 41-D, 46, 47, 48, 3x 49, 49-D, 53, 2x 53-D, 54-D, 56-D, 57-D, 58-D
  • Canadian: 2000

More silver than I usually find.

• Quarters (bank rolls)
  • 2000-D New Hampshire - very nice BU (upgrade)
  • 2000-S South Carolina - supposed to be a proof, but no trace of cameo left; looks like any regular circulated quarter
  • 2019-D San Antonio Missions - die chip on the left tip of the cross

A lot more 2023-D Maria Tallchief quarters starting to show up, but nothing from 2024 yet. 4th box in a row without any Ws.

• Nickels (mixed box: 40 bank rolls + 10 customer-wrapped rolls)
  • Pre-1960 Jefferson (24): 40, 2x 40-S, 41, 46-D, 46-S, 47, 47-D, 48-D, 49, 49-S, 50, 2x 52, 52-D, 53-D, 3x 54-D, 56, 2x 57-D, 58-D, 59-D
  • Bermuda: 96
  • Canada (3): 68, 91, 21

No silver this time. The best finds of the box are 49-S and 50, both with sub-10 million mintage.
 

• Quarters (bank rolls)
  • 2000-P Virginia DDO/DDR
  • 2013-S Great Basic – circulation quality NIFC
  • 2019-W River of No Return
  • 2020-W Tallgrass Prairie

That was a good box. Can't remember the last time I found 2 Ws + other stuff. The box was stamped with a different pallet number than the ones from the previous 3-4 weeks, which didn't produce much. Hopefully, there will be more good stuff next week. 

• Nickels (bank rolls)
  •  WWII 35% silver: 45-D - corroded; metal-detecting find? I'll keep it as a hole filler until I find a better one, as that's the last non-error year line I was missing
  • Pre-1960 Jefferson (34): 39, 39-S, 40, 40-D, 2x 41, 2x 46, 47, 48, 48-D, 49-D, 50, 2x 52, 2x 53-D, 53-S, 3x 54, 54-D, 55-D, 2x 56, 56-D, 2x 57, 4x 57-D, 2x 59-D
  • 1976-D obverse off-center by ~5%
  • Canadian (6): 83, 2x 84, 85, 86, 99

A lot of 1950s and a little bit of everything else. The best find was the 1939-S, a key date, only 6.63 million minted.

Hi,

I would love to see a photo of the 2000 P DDO/DDR

Sure. Now, it's pretty heavily worn, but you can still see the doubling on legends and the fat letters in PLURIBUS UNUM.

“PLURIBUS UNUM” - doubled vs another “normal” 2000-P Virginia quarter:

Very, very nice!

I used to do a lot of coin roll hunting in the 2000s, mostly halves.  Then my banks started charging me both to order boxes and to return rolls.  One bank had a free coin counter in the lobby, and would let me keep anything stuck to the magnet, but they removed the machine in 2012.  My rate of good finds didn't justify the increasing  fees, so I quit.

If your bank is letting you hunt rolls for free, enjoy it while it lasts.
