Thread: Roll-searchers, post your results!

Barely avoided a 5-box skunk streak today, but I did set a new personal record at 4. Very poor results since those three great boxes last week.

$340 CWR dimes: Two silver Roosies in the same roll. And a whole $2 extra!
$6 loose Ikes: Nothing of any major interest, but a pretty nice '76 D and a '71 D with one of the cleanest obverses I've seen on an Ike. The back is a bit dinged and it's kinda dull overall, though.
$1.50 loose halves: One 40%
Three boxes of halves: One 40%

4 boxes of halves
1) 1X40%
2) skunk
3) 2 x40% 1 x 90%
4) 5x40% 1 x 90%

Box of dimes - '36, '46, '52S

That picture makes me tingle in all the right places. If only I should be so lucky!

1 box of halves yielded two 1967 40%er's. Funny thing was that the first two rolls each had a coin, the next 48 were all skunky-lol. Have one more $500 box I'll be looking through today.

Todaty's results:
$10 Nickles: Skunk
$10 Dimes: Skunk
$120 Quarters: Skunk.

There was a quarter in the reject thing on the coinstar machine. Just a normal quarter, wonder why it was there.

Box of dimes, skunk.

2 boxes of halves... One 87' s and one half with the markings practically missing on the front and back... Other than that... Nothin

Box of dimes: Skunk.

Two boxes of halves: Nothing. Past seven boxes have produced just one 40%er

BTW, has anyone else noticed that Strings seems to be making their wrappers out of a different paper stock? A lot tougher to unroll the ends.

Sometimes I'll get Strings rolls (usually dimes or nickels) that have a much thicker/harder paper stock, which makes them a lot harder to crack open. My guess is they used to use the thicker stock and then switched to a thinner one to save money, but some cash logistics companies still have rolls of the old stuff in their warehouses. Either that, or they offer two tiers of stock (at a higher and lower price points) to customers).

Speaking of unrolling the ends of halves, I got my first resealed box last week. The box was normal, but inside nearly all of the rolls looked like they were opened and re-crimped, and of course the box was a skunk. Between that, brand new rolls, and some of my normal banks getting rolls from random other cash companies, it's been tough trying to get a consistently similar supply lately

4 more boxes of halves today, 3 40%

I got two out of the two boxes before these two. Seems hard to find the older silver halves I'm new to this and only been at I a short while but my big find that got me started on this was in cwr's. I may quit ordering these from the bank. Seems like a lot of time put into it and not much in return. Not to mention returning the halves to a bank can sometimes be frustrating. The banks don't seem to like them lol.
