I know what I found doesn't compare to the great finds most of you have had, BUT one roll I searched this morning had me jumping for joy! Literally. So if anyone felt the earth moving...it was me.
It contained 51 coins, one of which was a 1999P dime. It also had two Bahamian one cent coins, one of which was the year needed for a birthyear (1987) coin project I am working on.
The most exciting part that had me jumping up and down was that it contained 16 wheat pennies. I know this is small change for most all of you but it was HUGE for me. The best I have ever found. So I guess it was a Merry Christmas gift to myself.
1-1930D -- 2-1941 -- 2-1944 -- 1-1946 -- 1-1951S -- 2-1951D --
2-1952 -- 2-1952D -- 1-1955 -- 1-1956 -- 1-1958D
Enjoy.

Awake, O kings of the earth! Come ye, O, come ye, with your gold and your silver, to the help of my people, to the house of the daughters of Zion, to the help of the people of the God of this Land even Jesus Christ. |

Anytime a penny roll contains a dime it is time for celebration. Plus 16 wheats in the same roll. Most excellent.  Congrats.

Thanks, everyone. I am still excited about that find!!! 
I did a little more searching late yesterday afternoon but didn't find anything else of note. I still have hopes of finding that IH in a roll, not to mention good coins in rolls of other denominations, as well. |

| Cool! That 30-D in particular is a real rare find. |
Considering Verizon Business service? Perhaps you'd like to consider a nice drain cleaner enema instead? |
