Hey, folks! I'm James and this is my channel, CAD Roll Hunter. I post videos on Coin Roll Hunting (searching rolls of coins from the bank to see if I can find rare or valuable coins), coin collecting, coin/collection purchases! I'm always learning, and I love sharing what I learn on my channel!
I have 40lbs of old Silver USD & Canadian... Mom collect it over the yrs she's 90 now .. thinking of crashing it in but I don't want to be SCAMMED 😮 I've catogrized some of it.
Hello there James today I went and gone to different banks and see what they had for nickels. To my surprise I find a 1919 Buffalo nickel from Philadelphia, but when I took a closer look I see what appears to be letters f and l punch into the date. They are small letters, the f is under the last 9 and the l not far away from this 9 near the rim what do you think of this
Love finding over stuffed rolls haha! Question: where in Ontario can we exchange American coins for CAD with the exchange rate? Banks and Exchange places only give CAD on par for US. I have a bunch of American coins saved up and would love to trade them in for CAD but with the exchange rate.
I'm not aware of anyone who will exchange US coins at the exchange rate. Best you can probably do is sell it to a friend who is going to cross the border to go shopping.
@@CADRollHunter I wish you good luck I suggest keep the one you find because rn all the coins are almost mint condition like mine hopefully not gnna get as bad as my d day coin xd
Also something different to ask you I found d another 1980 nickel that you can see doubling, is that a double date or justing doubling and a 1944 George nickel. Now I have four 1980 double nickels as well as at least 3 1996 attach 6 nickels. One more things at my bank they have a full roll of 2014 half dollars, they have the mints wrapping on them but not in the best shape for the wrapper I will await your reply thanks and have a nice day.
Well, it's not listed in the Charlton Catalogue, nor on Numista. The date on the 'doubled' 1980 is said to be thicker and wider than a normal date, which would suggest a doubled die. However most doubled dates on Canadian coins are actually die deterioration. So... I'm not positive. In any case, if it looks cool and different, it's worth keeping and will certainly interest variety collectors. I'm always looking out for it. I've found one for sure.
Have you ever check the 2012 cents both kinds for d date and so.e have a pedestal under the first 2 in the date and some either extra metal around the 0 number.
back in the 1980's my coin/currency dealer had a bank VP visit in late November. The bank was being taken over in January and the found $1000 bills in a vault they had not opened for full inventory in years. $1000 bills were recalled years earlier, so they didn't circulate. He was asked if he wanted to take them off his hands and the problem they were to him. The bills were from a pack of 100 all crisp CU. He wrote a check on the spot, and the bank delivered his cash within the hour. He made a ton of money and the bank VP ended up buying a rare 1878 Us proof set for face value
@@CADRollHunter I have been in and around coins 60 plus years. I saw a lot of crazy stuff, sealed bags of Morgan dollars, a complete set of $20 Cc gold pieces (on loan to the Carson City museum), a horde of German coins found in a barn, coins were dated before 1776. An in a hotel room where 3 of 24 Ultra High relief $20 were being offered for sale. The King of Siam proof set in original case.
@@CADRollHunter there are things out there that still turn up. Back in the 80's a woman would come into my friends shop with odd stuff, like a $10 Liberty stuck in brass, other places said it was a fake. My friend bought it with a provision that if it was a pattern coin, he would pay her more. her great grandfather it turned out worked at the mint in the 1800s and she had a small box of things like this. I just want one to walk up to me
That doesn't surprise me. I imagine that there are some out there, but if they were imported into Montreal or Toronto, then they're probably circulating much more heavily there. Thanks for watching!
Hey, I would love to trade with you or even buy some of them im American living in the USA so it's really tough for me to get some of these for my collection.
@CADRollHunter I've watched you for at least 2-3 years now, I love canadian coins and bills, there so awesome looking, but me and my son sit and watch your hunts all the time I even rewatch alot of your stuff.
As an American I love seeing foreign bills. I have a collection of older Italian Lira and some Euros. I'd love to get my hands on some Canadian bills but they're difficult to come by.
Are the one and two dollar Canadian bills demonetized, or, do Canadian banks turn all one and two dollar bills in for destruction? I can tell you that Canada's paper money puts the US to shame. My favorite bill is the 1954 $50 denomination with the Mounties on the reverse. The colors are striking.
The Mountie $50 is also my favourite (actually from 1975). I was fortunate to pick up a few in decent condition from my bank a few months bank. I quite like the fact that the bills change regularly enough to have something to look forward, and older designs to try and find!
I got some 1954 $1 Canadian bills at auction, there was an uncut section of two bills. They are crisp although the cut isn’t perfectly on the edge. What is your opinion on uncut bills?
I haven't the 1954 uncut like that before. I think they're actually quite neat. You can get full uncut sheets of 1973 $1 and 1986 $2. I'd like to get one of those some day, framed in my office.
Holy stacks, @CADRollHunter ! You made a great purchase. I would do the same given the opportunity to search through so many banknotes. One never knows what may be waiting for you. I agree once searched one can decide to keep/spend/sell/trade. I see the book has come in very handy. Good job. I liked seeing the shin plaster notes. $2 ones are cool too. Take care.
Thanks, Ogir! It might have been worth it if I only kept a few, just to have the opportunity to look through them. But you're right - you never know when there will be a gem in there!
Canadian collector here. I collect a lot of these bills and from my experience the Charlton guide inflates a lot of the prices. I use the guide solely as a reference to see what might have some value, then I go on the internet and do more research to find out what the actual values are. More often than not you'll find that the prices in the guide are considerably more than what the real world is paying for them.
That's a fair point, for sure. You certainly need to take any published prices with a grain of salt, for sure. ebay sold prices can give you a good idea (but you have to pay attention to shipping costs, too).
I often use a website called Australian Banknote Checker to look up United States Currency. I have recently noticed that they now have a listing for Canadian Banknotes along with a few other new listings. I find that it is awesome for US and Australian of course, but have not had any Canadian dollars worth checking on it. Just sharing the information to those who may be interested. Would love to get ahold of some of those 25 Cents, and pre 1950s Canadian.
That was a lot of fun to watch, so it must have been a lot of fun to do! I have taken old bills anytime. A few years back, I even got a National Currency $50. The teller initially thought it was counterfeit, but took it and saved it for me. Will your local bank take the $1 and $2 bills as they are no longer circulating bills? Maybe it's like cents (pennies) in that they have to take them and return them to the Bank of Canada / Royal Canadian Mint.
Yes, they'll accept old bills. They actually won't take anything older than the 1954s - they're instructed to refuse those. Particularly because they typically are far more valuable than face value in any condition. It still happens, though. And they are certainly supposed to send everything back for destruction.
@@CADRollHunter Even though they aren't worth more than face value, I hate to see them destroyed. I know most of the banks around me instruct their people to tell customers that bring in old money to take it to a dealer, but my experience is that they don't. They tend to keep it for themselves.
Do you ask specifically for customer wrapped rolls, or do you check the box before you leave? How does that work? Do you tell them you’re a coin collector or will they start being weird if they know that? Love the channel!
I always ask for customer wrapped (particularly for nickels and dimes, and usually for quarters, as well). I don't want to waste their time, and boxes of coins are heavy, so it's a lot of effort for them to bring a box or two out of the vault only to send it back and ask for them to get another one. I'd like to avoid that if I can! They do know I'm a collector and they know I do RU-vid, as well. I think that works out in my favour as they ask me if I've found anything cool, and they'll call me when they get something interesting in. Thanks so much for watching!!
@@CADRollHunter I’m always on the hunt.. haven’t had that much time to hunt rolls but I usually get a few good finds per week cashiering.. that was a pretty unreal roll though .. I’m in Arizona now but I lived most of my life in Canada.. those old style Canadian cent’s are such pretty coins…
Hey James👍🖐😎🇨🇦🦅🇺🇸just wondering if you have a list of all twoonie ,lonnie qaurters etc.that are desirable..ive been collecting for some time and im pretty disorganized and trying to get things sorted..lol...thanx andcenjoy all your hunts👍..p.s. all years
I stopped watching your videos for a while because my coin collecting spree has slowed down. But still happy to have you here still making videos! I still check them out!
Nice finds!! I went yard saleing today and asked the older gentleman who was there if he had any old coins and he told me when he was a kid (late 50s early 60s) he used to look through rolls of coins and had even found a 1909 s vdb once, thought it was cool that people have been coin roll hunting for so long. He gave me a coin book because he wanted it to go to someone who would care about it and not just sell it online
@@CADRollHunter I know, right? Only if every roll had some KG5 cents. No matter the coin, I round up any of them with KG5 portrait. They have a masculine aura to them.
What a great find! You might be on a collection dump so definitely check back at the bank to see if they’ve more, For me the oldest Canadian penny I found recently in the states was both a 1935 and a 1940. ( the 1940 coin I found in circulation still and it was at a store ) However I did also buy a 1930 5 cent coin for 2 usd.. idk if it was overpriced or I did got a fair deal but it’s in good condition
@@CADRollHunter for sure, I’d say its a VF/XF+ if I had to guess I didn’t take a look at its front side very well but the back of the coin is in really good shape for its age.
