    I have tons of canvas coin bags. I've started to return them to the banks, I have too many. I count 30 under my desk here at work, have about 10 in the car all the time, at least that many under my desk at home, plus a bunch in my garage that I've used for other things.

    I only have one. Who gives you bags when you pick up coins?

    I get them every time I pick up a bag of coin from a coin counter.

    Around here they use the heavy duty plastic coin lock bags with that tamper evident seal, not canvas bags. I've collected mine (canvas bags) when I used to pick up $100 here or there and had nothing to carry the coin with. They used to hook me up with the canvas bags, now I'm a pest to them and I have my bags so they are not willing to hand them out anymore...lol

    I added 15 or 20 bags to an Apmex order once. They're used, dirty, have writing, but they do the trick. I think it came to about 75 cents per bag.
    I've got 2 from banks.

    I've thought about running my bags through the washer just so they aren't so filthy but I never get around to it.

    Picked up 3 boxes of halves today.
    Box 1 - skunk - Not the way I wanted to start
    It's got some TimZim painted coins in there which usually mean some 40%ers, but nothing.

    I had a 3 week stretch of this bank giving boxes stamped 5798 and they all produced 90%ers, I think that run has come to an end.

    Hopefully my other two boxes will get me on the board.

    I searched through my 100,000th cent last night. I know that's only $1,000 worth but it sounds cooler when you say 100,000 :). In those 100k I have found 1153 wheats(just barely over 1% of the total), 2 IH's, 4 2000 WAMs, a 1998 WAM, several clipped planchets, and countless foreign coins. It's been fun so far and I look forward to searching more. My last roll of the 100,000 had an upside down wheat and I made sure to look at that one last. I flipped it over and it was a 1941P. Thought it was going to be something special huh? ;) Regardless, I put it in a 2x2 flip.

    I also went through another box of cents today. I pulled 29 wheats, my personal best now. The oldest was a 1914 and I also got a MS63ish(I think) 1957d with some blue toning on the reverse.

    2 $500 bags of dimes - 5x rosies
    6 $500 boxes of halves - 7x 40% and a 1876-S seated liberty!!! I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this one! It's even a nice problem free coin, it's certainly going to go into my type set :)

    Thanks for the motivation Fade, you were right, the hard work really does pay off sometimes. I'll miss you :(

    EDIT: I also opened up an account at Wells Fargo because they agreed to order me as many boxes of halves as I want. They're going to order 4 for next week, so I'll be doing a total of 12 boxes of halves and 3 boxes of nickels next week. :)
