Thread: Roll-searchers, post your results!

Nice finds Ace. I'll probably get back into it this Friday, got lots of halves to pick up. Probably gonna work overtime instead of road tripping, though.

Thanks Merc - the tide is turning. We gotta just keep plugging through the garbage. Good Luck this weekend.

Two boxes of nickels yesterday I got a polished 45 p war Nikel
And today I got 400 in dimes=skunk

First box of halves tore through them in one night..... Found one 40%er well that was good enough to inspire me to do more I guess ill buy another box tomorrow....let ya know how it goes.

About $150 CWR and loose halves: nil
1 BWR of halves: 20 uncirculated 71's
$115 CWR dimes: One Mercury, my first!
$185 BWR dimes: One silver Roosie

I got two rolls of dimes on a whim from a local bank. Two silvers. sorry, I'm new here, don't know all the lingo yet. That did get me excited enough to try something more serious. Ordered two boxes of half dollars. They'll be in next week.

Got some rolls of pennies. i was wondering if this is a 1979 Filled D. please let me know.

did anyone get any beginners luck and find a boat load of silver on first search

I found 49 x 40%ers out of $50 worth of CWR halves on my second hunt ever. That was back a while ago and have only topped that one other time.

Went to Boston for a trade show, Boston has no power and show got cancelled. Hit every bank I walked by for halves and got $200 BWR and scored one 40%er. Rerolled and cashed in the clad and that same bank agreed to sell me $200 more. Maybe will search them on the train ride home

I'm pretty excited to get my first two boxes of halfs next week. What do you guys generally keep, other than silver? Are there any particular dates/designs that are valuable?

Lots of new people here on the forum. Best advice read as much of this thread as you can, you'll have a blast.

that sucks that you couldnt go. nice that u got a 40%er

Started with one $500 box of halves from a local BB&T and found nothing. Next box of $500 from a different branch had one 1966 Kennedy. Not such a great haul, but I'm sure I'll get the urge to try again.

I eventually take my bags back to my car, drive down the street, and cash in there, no problem. Called customer service, filed a formal complaint about him, (Customer service lady says, "Anybody should be able to use the penny arcade machines to cash in coin regardless of how they got it or why they have it.") and am expecting to hear back from the District Manager tomorrow.

Gonna go there sometime this week and pick up as many boxes of change as I can afford to, just to irritate them some more. The customer always wins, and that is something they need to learn.

Oh, Raoul, you liking this reminds me...

Ace, I dumped a bag of nickels/dimes there when the DBag manager wasn't around and they didn't have a problem with it. An older female teller helped me out.

Today, box of halves; skunk. 2x boxes of dimes, 3 roosies... all interesting. '53-S in AU, '55-S in MS63ish, '60 in MS64ish with some nice rose-colored toning.
