Box of nickels - 1905 V Nick. That puts me at 5 V nicks, about 100 miles behind Merc and his sweet V nickel score, but I will take it!

Not sure if you can zoom enough to see but here are a few of the garage sale coins I picked up by luck today. The best part is she has a bunch more she wants me to come look at next week so my fingers are crossed for sure! These washingtons are BU and the other coins are better dates.

Did you get them for the prices on the stickers? I'd buy up all she had if she's selling silver quarters for $2!

Haha that was once in a lifetime... for those of you that don't know/remember...

I live in Calgary Alberta Canada and I am putting together sets of coins for my children, nieces and nephews...and a few siblings. I am keeping 50 or more of each type of coin. This is mainly for the Canadian coins but I have coins from all over too. I search pennies and quarters mostly the last while. I have found a lot of American Wheat pennies recently. Not sure why. I have a whole box of new from the mint 2011 Canadian pennies right now. Anyone need any of them?

two boxes of nickels: 2 wars, a 2009-P, and a 1992-S proof for the dansco

My dad came home with a 1970-S Proof Washington he found in his change at his job.

box of dimes - 2 roosies

I must have made 20 calls today. No one has any halves.

I'll have to rethink the bank run idea.

Today I found $200 in BWR of Halves at two different banks.

Skunk and Skunk

The chanting and sacrificing of the coin wrappers did not work for me either. I've still been skunking out on anything I search. I'm buying approx 137.5 lbs of coin this weekend. I'm really shooting for minimum 1 oz. This month I have had to search about $2617 to find each ounce of silver.

I need to find some silver

5 cwr of halves... one 40%, 3 bwr quarters... nothing. One is better than none. Also pick up one ike and 15 ikes a couple days ago.

Ah, my week long skunkfest has ended! I got less than half way through my $500 bag of dimes over lunch and picked out '64 and '52 roosies. I also found a number of '68 canadians. I was pretty sure I could tell from their sound they were not silver, and sure enough they stuck to my magnet at the office. Hopefully I'll hit the jackpot later tonight! I have to finish the bag so that I can cash it in and pick up my Saturday bag from branch #3 - they didn't fill a bag this week, but can sell me the partial - $450 or so.

My average on bags is 2.25, with only one skunk.

Another 4 boxes this week

Box 1 - 1987 50 escudos (portugal), 2 x 40%
Box 2 - 1x'64
Box 3 - skunk
Box 4 - 2x40% and both were enders.

I swear that everytime I have boxes that have an ender, or in this case 2, there are no more silver coins in the box. That happens probably 90% of the time for me.

I won't complain because 2 is better than 0 but my high hopes always crash and burn

I wish I could do half dollars, but I don't have a source or a dump location for any real quantity of them. I need to be more aggressive asking for loose and cwr half dollars.

Searched through a boatload of halves today, a whooping 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! well at least one was a '67
