Thanks so much - it's lots of fun, and I particularly enjoy watching these types of videos and figure others would enjoy seeing this, as well. Thanks for watching!
BTW: 1968 and 1969 nickel quarter reverses were made with the same dies as the previous silver years, and apart being nickel for the colour, they look and feel pretty much the same as the late silver quarters. That's possibly why the collector put them aside, being in so good condition. In 1970, they introduced a new die where the Caribou back has more relief, that was used until 1978, being one of the 2 (large / small denticles) varieties of that transition year. This 1970s die really stands out when I hunt quarters...
Good stuff, James! I just got those Vista albums in that you helped me out with. Used your code too. They're a much better storage system than the old folders from the '60s that I had previously.
@CADRollHunter Yeah, the only thing that bugs me is the 1936 dot slot. Why would they put that in there? There's only 3 in existence! Oh well, that one's for my buddy. I got the nickel one for myself without the dates so I could lay it out myself. I skipped the 1962 die deterioration because I didn't consider die deterioration to be a proper variety, bit after seeing your video here, I might have to shift everything down one slot... uuuuugghhh. It is quite dramatic and now I kinda want one.
@@TheWinstonDouble Lol! That's the way it goes. I'd found several 1962s that I thought might be the double date, but didn't think much of it. However, the 'real' ones are quite a bit more dramatic!
Phenomenal find! Where do you find these? I am out in the Calgary area and just starting to expand my collection that has been sitting dusty for over 30 years.
i love coin hunting. i found a canadian penny, some american pennies and an american quarter at work today. i was lucky to be able to have some spare change so i could exchange them and take them for my collection!
Thanks! I just try to get to my antique dealer often, to beat out anyone else who might be asking for coins! Hope you're enjoying your most recent package!
Nice collection pick up! I think you make your $40 investment in the contents. The tombac nickels are nice, and very hard to find. You should certainly keep your 1968 and 1969 quarters, even though they are nickel, because they are gorgeous, as well as your lone silver 1968... I keep them in this condition too, because they're usually beat up, being the first nickel years (people never kept and threw back in circulation)... I don't know, but 1968 is also a great year for my present hunt. I fount 4 silver dimes and 1 silver quarter in 3 different banks in my last week's pickups, each in a few loose rolls customer(s) brought in. At one of them, they brought me an unopened box of dimes. I opened it, and they were all machine rolls, most probably ARP, so the teller was kind enough to switch some of the rolls with customer rolls he had around. He found 12. I grabbed them, and asked, "May I get customer quarters instead of these new dimes?" He replaced the rest with customer quarters rolls, and the 1968 was in one of them, with a 1970 in the same roll! I still have a few of these to check, hoping to squeeze another goodie.
I wasn't suggesting it looked like a die gouge, though. Just that I thought it was a gouge on the surface of the coin (i.e., post mint damage). When I looked closer, though, it didn't have the characteristics of a scratch or gouge, where we'd see displaced metal, which suggests it was a strike through. Thanks for watching!
You could very well be right - in purchases like this I don't really expect to find key dates or silver - just what's left... but you never know what you might still find - that's half the fun of it!
Funny thing about the Bunny nickels is those I find are almost always AU/BU. I hunt four boxes/month on average but sometimes go months without finding any and then they show up in significant numbers; just rabbits being rabbits I guess. 🐰🐰🐰🐰😁
I really enjoyed that. I'm not convinced that some of that doubling is due to die deterioration. It's too clear and looks like double punching on the hub.
I'm certainly not enough of an expert enough to know for sure. Some of it does appear to be some sort of re-engraved die, or perhaps some sort of doubling.
Do you know what 1965 var 1, var 2 and var 3 could mean? I have them in bu state but have no clue what they could mean. Found nothing online but maybe you would know
The 1965 pennies came in Large and Small Beads on the Obverse, as well as Pointed 5 and Blunt 5 on the Reverse: Variety 1: Small Beads, Pointed 5 (Harder to find) Variety 2: Small Beads, Blunt 5 (Common) Variety 3: Large Beads, Blunt 5 (Common) Variety 4: Large Beads, Pointed 5 (Very hard to find)

Lol! No, not at all. $40 was his asking price. He would have had the opportunity to look through everything if he'd wanted to. And he set the price based on his cost. I only took a quick look to see if $40 seemed like a decent price. I didn't know exactly what was in there until I got it home and fillmed the video.
Getting the opportunity to look through a new collection is always exciting! Thanks for documenting it all and sharing with your viewers.

Great purchase. Lots of varieties. I think you did well. Thanks for sharing
Thank you so much 😊
Hello. Nice purchase. It was fun watching.
Thanks, Abeer!
LOVE your videos! Keep 'em comin'!😊
Thanks so much! I really appreciate it!
Awesome haul with a few great gems! Congratulations!
Thanks so much! You just never know what you might find!

I'm still using the 50s and 60s Whitman albums. The coin slots are so loose that the coins fall out every time I set the book down. 😂
@@sawyerdawson28 I luckily had unused ones so they were still a snug fit. Except for that '26. That thing always pops out.
Awesome pickup thank you so very much for sharing 👍👍❤️
Thanks for watching! I always appreciate it, Granville!
Phenomenal find! Where do you find these? I am out in the Calgary area and just starting to expand my collection that has been sitting dusty for over 30 years.
I picked these up from an antique dealer who buys estates. You might want to give that a try!
Awesome collection pick up 💯
Thanks! It was a pretty good deal! Always fun lookign at little lots of coins like this!
i love coin hunting. i found a canadian penny, some american pennies and an american quarter at work today. i was lucky to be able to have some spare change so i could exchange them and take them for my collection!
That's how our collections grow - one coin at a time, and sometimes from unexpected places!
Well worth the investment, James! You get so many great deals. A lot of super great coins, very similar to the lot I recently received 😉
Thanks! I just try to get to my antique dealer often, to beat out anyone else who might be asking for coins! Hope you're enjoying your most recent package!
@@CADRollHunter looking great so far! I owe you big time!

Those 1968 and 1969s are very nice - you're right that they're often very circulated!
Hi Cad!! A die gouge would be Raised Brother! It's Def, a Grease Strike, on the 65! Great Buy!

Great collection James awesome deal nice info on some of the varieties
Thanks, CWEED! I always love going through little collections like this - you never know what might be in there!
Love these collection purchases. I think the silver was already removed from it, but still a really interesting hunt. Nice catch on the 48 pennies

@@CADRollHunter What was total face value?
@@bhringer I don't think I'd actually counted - I might have to go back and watch the video to figue that out!
@@CADRollHunter 😁😉
Congrats in finding several varieties. You never know where you'll find one. Well worth what you paid for the lot.

Thanks, Malcolm!
Nice struck through grease. Small premium to some error collectors.
Definitely an interesting find - and I'd have missed it completely if I wasn't scoping it. Thanks!

What on earth are you referring to?
$40?? Did you knowingly rip him off?
Lol! No, not at all. $40 was his asking price. He would have had the opportunity to look through everything if he'd wanted to. And he set the price based on his cost. I only took a quick look to see if $40 seemed like a decent price. I didn't know exactly what was in there until I got it home and fillmed the video.
Don't Canadians collect coins? Just the silver covered your investments.
You have to wonder! I'll agree this was a great little pick-up! A bargain for just $40!
