Thread: Roll-searchers, post your results!

So I haven't posted on here in awhile but here are the latest stats:

12 boxes of halves all SKUNK!!
and these were from different banks and boxes.

Then finally out of the last 6 boxes I've pulled a total of 5 40%'s and 1 90%.

Plus two CWR rolls from my usual bank revealed a 1937 50 centavos! I love finding foreign silver.

My main bank I order from informed me that they'll be slowing down the Half dollar ordering for a bit due to them incurring excessive fees , I called this morning to see if my 2 boxes we're available and she said yes. So I go down there about five hours later, talk to a different manager and she sold me 8 boxes ! I'm hoping for some monster boxes tonight and tomorrow !

No silver yet this week but I did find my very first Indian Head Cent in a Loomis box yesterday. A well worn 1905. Last roll in the box too!

Box of halves: 3 40%ers. My mini skunk streak of 4 boxes is over!

But one of my dump banks is getting a little annoyed at me. One teller flat out refused to cash out a box yesterday. I don't know yet if it's just him or the branch, as he's the only one that's given me problems there.

$300 in BWR, 2010p, we are now down to 1 coin to have a complete set from 1964-2011. $500 CWR which I knew was dump, skunk. They forgot to order my two boxes so I will get three on Friday. The head teller sold me a 1963, and 1928 G series 2 dollar bills. Neat notes and I got to show my children a demand note.

Yesterday I picked up some rolls. 3 rolls of halves... nothing. 10 rolls of nickels... 3 pre 60. 10 rolls of pennies is where it get a little interesting. Older looking rolls with writing on them. I got a full roll of the following: 57D circ, 56D circ, 44S circ, 69 D uncirc, 70S uncirc, and a roll of Canadian 40's and 50's. I will keep the wheats and Canadian. I will check the 70S for small date. Anything else to look for? I don't look a pennies that often, cool to get 3 full rolls of wheats. Oh, I did ask if the person had dropped off any other "older" rolls. She said no.

Always a Lady and I are having an incredible month. After I dropped off a skunk box of halves I picked up a box where we had great luck last week. I got the box without expectations since the last two had produced 16 and 11 silvers. I thought can the streak continue? When I got home we started opening and I noticed before we even took a roll out that one ender looked whiter. I pulled it and gave it to Always a Lady and said I think there might be silver in this one but was not sure since the reverse was showing. Sure enough it was a 68 plus another one in the roll. I opened 6 or 7 before I found one.

We have a couple of buddies that visit from time to time and encourage us as well as my two sons. Qicksilver and Makescents were watching as Always a Lady found four in one roll and my two sons wanted to get in on the action. Matt opened one and I could see a bright line in his roll. I said I think you have one. He said I know but I think I have more than one. His roll had two and then Nick had two in his.

I wondered if coin roll hunting was worthwhile especially early in the month when we had only found 2 in 9 boxes. 3 of the last four have produced 23 90's and 27 40's and not only that but 4 Bens and 6 Walkers. I have seen where several are fighting it right now so I know this may not last but I sure enjoying the rush while it lasts. We are picking up at the skunk bank today and back at the honey hole on Friday.

I just want to wish everyone good luck and encourage others as they have done for me. HOTN and Ace this too will pass but I am pulling for you.

I forgot to mention the totals 1 1917 Walker, I 1951 Ben, 4 64 Kens and 17 40's for 23 (our best box by 6)

I wish I had a good way of dumping half dollars. Nice find!

Nice box UNC. Y'all got me jonesing for Friday. Wish I wasn't so broke right now, freakin' car.

By the way, if anybody was wondering, we ended up having to put the other cat to sleep, too. $5k in vet bills and no cats to show for it... really sucks. I think I'm in shock about how fast it all happened.

Box of dimes - '47

Got a box of halves with 2 40% both enders. Plus box was $2.50 over. My last box produced 5 silvers and was $1.00 over. So my finds between both boxes were free... Was wondering if others find there boxes over or under often?

Sorry to hear about the cats. 5K in vet bills...geez, I guess it adds up quick. Hope you don't have to sell any silver since it's been so difficult to come by lately.

Is there a "sorry to hear" button?

That is a bummer.

I'm changing things up a bit and no longer will be purchasing boxes supplied by a certain carrier. I know I may have said this before but I'm sticking to it this time. I keep a spread sheet of all the coin I purchase and where it comes from. I sorted the sheet by bank/supplier and noticed a frightening trend. I always knew, but when compared to the other sources, it's a waste of time, gas, money, and resources. By purchasing coin from this bank all I'm doing is losing. I'll not be able to search as much but I'll end up with better results and more gas in more than one way.

So sorry to hear that, Merc. I hope you and your girlfriend can find a nice, new cat to love. Not that you can get over this cat so quick or anything...I am sorry that may have come out wrong.

We might have to put our dog to sleep if he continues down his path. He is hardly eating AT ALL, even if we mix hamburger into his food. He will randomly go totally crazy and start pacing and panting and climbing over EVERYTHING like there is an earthquake and a fire going on at the SAME TIME. When he does this, nothing can get him calm. Nothing. He didn't sleep for 2 days, we had to take shifts watching him. The vet gave us some pretty high power sedatives. The dog fights them with all his power. He can't walk in a straight line, and stumbles over himself but he will NOT lay down and go to bed. So far, we have only had to give him 2, but that has been since Monday. He had bloodwork done, and everything is normal. At this point, it has to be mental. Could be doggie alzhiemers or a brain tumor. Who knows. But, if this continues, it would be torture for him to let him live this lifestyle of no sleep and hardly eating. Such a bummer.
