I get about $1800 of rolls each week to search through for errors. I occassionally get a sack of new rolls. I have not yet found any rolls of 2008 $1 or 5 cents. I haven't found any 2007 5 cent pieces either. An Aussie forum member sent me 3 rolls of 2008 $1, so at least I have them put away. I haven't been concerned about the Scout $1s because those rolls can be bought from the mint at a (fairly) reasonable price, although they're too expensive to buy and open I do however have about $400 of unopened 5 cent mixed rolls that may yield 2007 and or 2008. They're simply so time consuming to check each coin. Last week I got $200 of 10 cent pieces. Every roll was 2008. I kept a few with head/tail combinations and opened nearly all the others. Rolls can produce some wonderful coins. The 10 cent rolls yielded about 30-40 Choice uncirculated and about the same number that had a die clash on the obverse. By CHU I mean that the coins have no discernable bagmarks seen through a 10xloupe. After two days searching I'm generally going blind I have 767 rolls put away for a rainy day.

Gee Yass, you need to get a hobby or something to get away from all that work

Finally found a 5c and 10c today. Both from the local milk bar. Only the 50c still to be seen.

Coins found in circulation? Does 'roll hunting' count? I went to 3 local small banks asking for 1/2 dollar rolls (U S) to look through. None of the 3 had any.....they don't stock them. Then I went to a large bank in an adjoining town and picked up 2 rolls (40 coins). I found (2) 1966 40% silver halves in the 2 rolls. After a week or so in spending the halves, I now picked up 3 rolls of halves. Findings? (2) 40% silver halves and a 1943 (P) W L half. I'll pick up 3 more rolls today to see what I can find. Heck, finding $11 of silver content in just $2.50 worth of halves suits me fine.

Justa, you're lucky! I haven't seen any 2008 Rabbits reported antwhere for ages. I did get 2 (or 3) very early, but I haven't seen one since. Plenty of Scout $1 turning up. Nearly all 2008 coins now appearing, just 50¢ still missing.

I just scored two yesterday.. They are kinda tricky to find from half a metre looking down.. Just a little extra something to see behind the ear.. I think I may have missed a few last time.. Maybe

justabeginner, Sorry, I just now noticed your post. Only weeks late. Sorry. I would be happy to send you a Jackson Dollar and Alaska Quarter in exchange for a Scout Dollar. Just send me your mailing address. Also, in order to keep my Aussie collections up-to-date, I still don't have a 2008 50 Cent Piece.

I had a Scout coin mailed to me, but it evidentally fell out of the package. Somehow I missed this post until now ...... I hadn't yet made it back to the coin shop where I was going to get an unc replacement one for the one that went astray. Was on the list for this week. Will still send it over anyway.

Gary, That puts you in good company, no one has got any 2008 50¢ pieces. None spotted in circulation yet. Yass had some in rolls, but he's misplaced them.

I had/have stored them offsite. The problem I have is that I haven't opened any to look for chu unc. I am therefore reluctant to open a roll just yet. I did sell a roll at our last onsite auction though. Stay tuned, I will eventuall open a roll.
