Thread: Roll-searchers, post your results!

My 2nd box today yielded 7 40%ers, so not a bad day at all. In total, 11 40%ers and a Franklin.....any day is a good day when you find a Franklin.

Spreadsheeted all my listed cent finds posted here since the turn of the year and crunched the numbers (TY, excel) to bring you some stats.

1 in 20 boxes yields a 1909.
1 in 2 boxes yields a 191X and 192X.
3 in 5 boxes yields a 193X.
1 in every 7.69 rolls yields a 194X.
1 in every 5.48 rolls yields a 195X.

Yesterdays finds:

3 slv dimes from a box, including a 53D for the album (up to 35 out of 48, ALL FROM CIRCULATION).

6$ in cents yielded 9 wheats.

Noce on the Frankie, Bobbeth

Finished 108 CWR's
2 40%ers
5 Rolls of NIFC's. I've found 9 rolls of NIFC halves this week. I've had some luck selling them before but not on the scale that I have now. Oh well, the worst that I can do is through them back into the pond.

Thats crazy Agent. What years are the NIFC's?

Thanks Merc....very interesting. However, I think your 1909 stat is an aberation.......you have been quite lucky at finding those.

Pretty even balance between the 2002 - 2009 with the exception of the 2010's. Looks like I have about four roles of the 2010's now.

That doesn't include my plain 1909 I found, or two of the other VDB's... if you factored in those, I think it would drop to one in 12-14 boxes. I've only found one 1909 this year according to what I've posted in this thread.

2 boxes of halves today

1st box: SKUNK
2nd box: 4 40% and 2 NIFC

Today, Box of halves:

2 40%ers (both found in the 2nd roll....no silver in the rest of box)
Also, a 1912 Penny from Commonwealth of Austrailia in GREAT shape!

$13 in loose: nothing
1 CWR: 1 40%er and 1 1964

8 boxes of sealed Brinks halves. Could hear the teller make an evil laugh in the vault before she gave these to me but didn't know why until back at home. Every box had been searched and rerolled back in the brinks wrappers and box taped back shut. Still found a clad Bicent S mm and a ton of really nice 82,83 spot checking rolls. I'll be contacting brinks to see if what they did was against the rules.

$50 bag of cents done.

14 dimes.
8 Canadians and 1 Bermuda.

BU's; '63, '72, '74, '82-D. The '82 is easily an MS65, hence why I saved it.

Yawn. About average for copper.

I asked for $25 in pennys at a Wachovia today and they didn't have a box so they gave me CWRs. 2 bundles of $5 were nothing special, but the other three were really interesting. 1 bundle of 5 had a total of 14 dimes, another had 18 dimes, including 6 in 1 roll. The last bundle was in different wrappers and all the pennies were between 1990 and 2002, all in BU condition, and about 1/3 were mis-struck? So the total for the box was 32 dimes, 9 wheaties all after '46, 4 canadians, 1 2cent euro, 1 25 cent netherlands. Also found a 1998 and 2000 WAM.

Are you saying you found 14 silver dimes in a bag of cents?

No, 14 regular dimes. I'd have used the word silver if it was the other way around.
