Well, had a crappy coin collecting day today.

I always buy rolled coin from my bank, and I cash it in at the Local casino. Well long story short, the casino has said that I cannot cash my coins there anymore because I don't have a "players card". I don't gamble, but we do spend money in the casino. I cash my check there every Friday, and we occasionally see a movie or go bowling there.

So, now I have to find a new place to take all of my coins. I'd rather not take them back to the bank that I get them from. I was hoping I wouldn't have to roll it all back up.

What do you guys all do with the coins after you've gone through them?

I've never been to a casino that doesn't offer a FREE players club-type card. I'm sure you can get one for free...

I wish it were that easy. They said theat they would need to see activity on my "Players card" in order for them to provide me the service.

Nice find the other day.. 10 rolls Jeffersons .. Super!!!

1941S x 4 with one of them being a Large MM variety!!
1955D with I think has a doubled MM...
I posted these in errors .. And today found a AU 1969S/S I think..
I have to scan and post that one still...

On a happier note, I went through 100$ in Nickels and found the following:

1x 1940
1x 1941
1x 1941 D
1x 1942 Woody
1x 1942 S (silver)
1x 1943 D (silver)
1x 1945 S
1x 1947
1x 1948
1x 1949
1x 1952 Woody
1X 1953 D Very Clean
1x 1954
1x 1955 D
1x 1956
5x 1958 D
1x 1958 Woody
3x 1959 D
2x 1959

A lot of 60-64. Anything newer than that, I just look for errors before I toss them into the bin.

I did also come across a 1964D with some nice toning.

Searched the box of halves last night:

5x 40%ers. I forgot to note what years they were before I threw them into my silver box.

1x 1987P
1x 2004P
1x 2005D
19x 2001P according to my Redbook these weren't issued for circulation. Are these worth holding onto? All 19 of them, or should I just keep a few nice ones?


I also got what I thought was silver at first.....It's a 1983P that has been dipped or plated in silver, or something silver ish. It also has the years 1960 and 1980 stamoed on each side of Kennedy. I'll try and get a quality picture of it and post it here.

1: I'm almost sure that halves were minted for circulation in 2001, they stopped in 2002.

2: I have an Ike that looks like that, feel if it seems like it has a plastic cover, it may be some sort of lamination for jewelery purposes.

3: Good finds on the nickels. I think th 45S is also silver.

yea I've only found 19 - 40%'s in the past 5 months of going to the bank every 2 weeks when I cash my check.
Nebraskans just aren't throwing them out for us to snach up...

It is practically impossible to find any half dallers where I live! I checked every bank all the time but there is never anything.

Found a bank with $320 in brinks rolled halves on Saturday: No keepers.

Today I searched a box of halves: 9 40%ers.

I had 5 in the first 5 rolls I opened, so I thought it was going to be a monster box. I'll still take it as 9 in one box is my best box in a while.

Is there a certain chain of banks that carry halves? or is it just random?

I would like to start searching. any tips?

Just start going to banks and asking the tellers if they have any halves. If they don't have any they may offer to ask the other tellers. Sometimes they have them sometimes they don't. It's a bit of a numbers game in that you have to keep asking.
