Great start to the weekend. My boss let me out early so I picked up my Saturday box of halves. It yielded 2 40%ers, 2 Walkers and a Franklin! I also recently did a buy-it-now on the 'bay which came in today...2 Walkers, 3 SLQ's for $35.75 shipped...basically $49 melt value for $36. The seller also threw in a Merc and a silver Rosie. Good luck to all you searchers this weekend!

 

Yeah I'll post tomorrow after I get my last 2 boxes for the week, what my 4 month total has been.

 

i pulled about 75 wheaties out of a $50 bag of pennies i wrapped at the bank today. nothing too special in there from a glance, except a couple of teens and twenties.

 

I went to pick up my two boxes of halves today and they said they had not ordered them for some reason, so I decided to get a dime box for the first time. I went through it as my dad went through a penny box he had bought. I went through probably 15 rolls and hadn't gotten anything, when my dad picked out a roll from my box and opened it, and pulled a '63. I was like great, he just pulled probably the only silver in the box in his first roll. Luckily there were three more in the box for me, so a total of four, all roosevelts, '48, '59, '63, '64. I'll probably start doing them now until I get a few 1 or less. A couple questions on dime boxes, do you only pull out the silver, or do you look for the '96-W or the no P date? Are there any others to save? How many 2009s do you guys usually find, I checked the mintages and the '09 is crazy low like the nickels, but I pulled at least 25 from this box. Also, I pulled this weird dime out, what do you guys think?

 

Went to a B of A in a town that I haven't hit before, asked for halves and received two sad looking clad ones. But when the teller opened her drawer I spied beautiful silver quarters - five of them - lined up in a corner of her tray. I asked if I could buy them and she graciously offered them up, much to my surprise. 4 1964s and 1 1946D My first silver quarters, and I didn't even have to search through any rolls for them.

 

vt: I found a quarter like that too, i just threw it back cuz no silver

 

She was obviously saving them! JERK! haha but really, I feel bad when WE PEOPLE take the banker's coins, I mean it's fair game, they HAVE TO give it to you if you ask for them. But just know when you leave, they're going to pray you crash

 

hello all. new to the forum. i've been searching halves for about 2 weeks now. it's so addictive. i've found 30+ 65-70's, 4 64's, a few proofs, and 2 franklins. i've searched rolls of quarters and dimes before but, no luck. all i search for is silver tho. no telling what i've passed up.

i started by going bank to bank asking for halves then i realized i could search for local banks on my iphone and it'd map out its location and also give me the phone number so i searched local towns and i'd call and ask if they had any before i went. i called one of the banks i'm a member of today to ask about ordering a box. they said they'd have to call me back monday because they need to find out the details. i may have to order more than one box at a time and may have to pay a shipping charge. my other bank told me they don't order for customers. i've been thinking of going to banks i'm not a member of and asking them about ordering me boxes if i become a member. i've read on some sites where many banks order customers boxes with no problems. going bank to bank is ok but, it's time consuming and there's just gotta be a better way.

all in all i love it tho. like searching for treasure. i've been buying silver bars, rounds, and eagles to invest. i sell most of the halves to finance buying the silver.

 

Two boxes of halves, one 40%er. Tomorrow should be interesting, gonna try to get a bag of dimes.

 

Thanks I'll definitely take a look further back in the thread!

and is grabbing the coins out of the tube totally allowed or is it something that I should be sneaky about? lol Like can I get in trouble? :devil: haha

 

Took another roadtrip before the coaching season starts up Monday. Hit the third best half bag ever(176) 40% and (11) 90%. Gotta love days like that. I will be hitting the Copper Pennies much harder next week. Did get one penny bag this week that had 99% Copper Pennies in it and half the bag were BU 1980-P.

 

They're your rejects... in theory.

Box of nickels, 1 '29 Buff in F-ish, 3 war nickels, 6 BU's... '68-D, '69-D, '70-S x4. Good box.

 

Holy crap, nice grab there JJDEMARAY. Do you coach HS football or soccer?

 

Yeah definately a nice box Merc, always fun to find a Buff, and even better that box coughed the 3 war nickels. Have you been able to sell and BU coins that you've found in circulation? Just curious.

 

I figured I could always just claim that. Like seriously, can they really argue that? I doubt it

 

Haven't tried. I wouldn't wanna sell my BU's for what they're worth anyway, they're worth more than that to me.

They can't really argue it, it's a pretty solid argument especially if you just dumped enough change in there to fill a bag...

 

Wait how much are BU's worth?

 

Negligible amount over face, especially from the '60's, they were saved in bulk.

EDIT: Cool, hit 3k posts.

 

Box of nickels, 2 war time, '42-s and '44p
