2008 Coins found in circulation

[triggersmob]

I finally have a couple of Scout dollars, or had I should say, one is now on it's way to Egypt.

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

justabeginner,

I had a Scout coin mailed to me, but it evidentally fell out of the package.

So, I would like one.

Jackson Dollar?  Alaska Quarters?

Let me know

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

Hmm.... Could I have one of each CoinCrusader? I'll give you another Scouts to make it fair..

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.

Erm.. I have three 08 Rabbit ears now.. I think they are fairly common... Or maybe I'm just lucky.. I don't know.. Suits me fine either way..

[Nevol]

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.

[justabeginner]

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.

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.

[justabeginner]

Hey all... Found another 08 Rabbit... Have 4 now..

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.

Have found them again.  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.
