I know a few of you are members of the very elite club of finding a silver dime in a roll of pennies.
Well, I'm still not a member of that club BUT I did find a steel penny today in a roll of dimes AND it was a BONUS COIN!!! So my roll wasn't shorted!!!
It was a 1943D. Not in perfect shape but definitely not too much rust and I could see how they could have gotten it mixed up with the dimes. It is the first steel penny I have found in my searches in well over a year, if not more than that. I know I didn't find one in 2010 and maybe not in 2009 either, but if I did I think it was early in the year. I'd have to go back through my notes to try to figure it out.
I had huge hopes before I opened the roll as it was an extremely old looking wrapper. In fact in was from The Coin-tainer Company paper sleeve type all green roll. Today's Coin-tainer wrappers are the shotgun shell style that are sold in many stores in variety coin wrapper packs.
Enjoy your coin searches, everyone.
