Oldest coin in a bankroll

Postby Silver4face » Mon Mar 07, 2022 11:28 pm

What is the oldest coin you have ever pulled from a bank roll? I very recently pulled an 1880 Indian head penny, which ranks #2 all time for me. My oldest ever was an 1871 Swedish ore pulled ten years ago from a roll of Canadian pennies.

My oldest was a 1909 Indian Head cent. The one and only Indian Head.
Silver Monometalism is the most permanent and stable form of money the world has seen. Natural law and history prove silver value is best multiplied by gold and best divided by copper. It is only in this counterfeit currency time when the natural law appears suspended.

The year 2011 was great for coin roll hunting. I miss those days. I found my first Indian Cent in a bank wrapped roll that year. It was from 1890. Here's the link to my post from back then when I found it.

But the oldest coin I have found was from a customer wrapped roll of halves. It was from 1854.

These finds were not in a bankroll but were found in bags from a coin counter. I hope they count. On 12-28-2010 I had an awesome bag of halves that contained an 1893 Columbian half dollar. That was my oldest until I picked up a bag of halves on 09-29-2016. In that bag was an 1835 half dime. I almost missed it as it was so small. It was in the fold of the cloth bag. Once I got about a dozen silver dimes in a half bag, smaller coins must bounce in there or something.

1872 Indian Head cent found a few weeks ago and posted under another discussion topic. The front is scratched and VG and the back is F-VF.

Please note that ANY stocks I discuss, no matter how compelling, carry risk- sometimes substantial. If not prepared to buy it multiple times in modest amounts without going overboard (assuming nothing really wrong with the company), you need to learn more about the market and managing risk. Also, please research covered calls (options) as well.
