About Me
Coin roll hunting since 1977.
Collecting coins and rolls somewhat seriously ever since. I love encouraging new collectors and teaching about coin things I think I might know a little bit about. Learning...still pretty much constantly, even after a bunch of decades. I love the hobby and advocating for it. I'm active in a handful of coin forums and a member of the Denver Coin Club, Front Range Coin Club, and the ANA (Money.org).

  • Fresh back from ANACS.
    Got this one some time ago on ebay for about $12 if I remember correctly.
    I think it's lovely...I'm calling it my 1990 upside down date

    Though it's been an honest 20 boxes or so since my last W showed up.

  • A fun little collection dump...

    My favorite Chase teller said she had a customer bring in some Loomis rolls.
    As soon as I saw them I could tell they were faded and had been sitting around for some time.
    It's a dump of someone's America The Beautiful rolls from 2002 - 2008.

    I decided to open the one marked 2006 since it had been broken and was taped on the side from someone dropping it most likely...sure enough, a solid fresh roll of 2006 South Carolinas.
    That was a good one to open first since they need to be in MS67 or 68 to be worth anything.
    There was maybe one MS66 in there and they have zero toning, all nice blast white..

    Which roll would you open next knowing that MS66 is likely the max grade in any of these?

  • They were released into circulation on August 14th...I live only about 5 miles (as the crow flies) from the Denver mint.
    They just showed up in some change today. Still none in rolls yet. Only took about 7 weeks lol. Seems like Denver is always one of the last places to see the new releases...it sure is pretty though
