Thread: Roll-searchers, post your results!

Not the best days looking recently. So Tuesday went to TD and saw 4 1964 Kennedy Halves in a tellers tray. She would not sell them to me because someone had come in the day before and was picking them up later that day. If that person did not come in then she would sell them to me the next morning. Went in Wednesday and the person (assuming the teller) had bought the halves. Went to dump $250 in dimes and after dumping all 2500 coins the machine only registered 970 coins (give or take a few). The machine missed counting over 1500 coins and now I have to wait until sometime next week to hopefully get back the $150 that was not counted.

The day I can afford to get 1k in halves is the day **** freezes over, pigs fly, and Pete Rose actually gets inducted into the Hall of Fame like he deserves... I am a small-time searcher. I have to be, due to my financial needs. However, I still find some coins here and there =D I try to take candies and what not into my fave bank, and I like to think they appreciate it and keep an eye out for me.

Oh, I hear you on being a small-time searcher...

Sell some of your bullion silver finds.

Box of halves... 1 90%, 1 40%, 3 nifc's, and 1 extra coin.

I was a small time searcher, but I just figured I'd take money out of savings. I mean, you aren't really spending it (unless you find something, and even then, it's just face value). If worst comes to worst, I stop searching and use the money for whatever I need it for, instead of pulling from savings for the emergency fund. I mean, sure, it's not earning that 2 cents a month interest, but if you find just one silver dime a month, at today's spot, it's a much better return than the savings account would give you.

Box of halves found 1 90% and 1 40% 17 NIFC including 7 2011's and a 1980-s proof, fun box

Kanderous: I know what you mean. I've had 3 different tellers lately check dates on me. Once, as the teller was giving me halves, the teller in the next window stopped her and then opened the roll and checked the dates. Unbelievable!!!


Yesterday, I stopped at a bank and asked for halves. She said she had one. I said I'd take it, I always do, and asked if anyone else might have some. She looked put out, but then said she'd ask and went to the other tellers. No one had any, so she came back and pulled out 2 quarters to go with the one half. I hand her a paper washington and hesitates. After a couple of moments, she puts the two quarters back in her drawer and pulls out a 1964 AU-58 (my guess) half and says, "This one's silver." Interesting, huh.

I also finished my bag of dimes....that's $1000 worth, or four boxes, or 10,000 coins. I found 5 silver Roosies. These have been remarkably consistent for me. My last 5 bags of dimes have produced, 5, 4, 4, 5, 5 silvers. I found in this bag the following:

49-D
53-D
56-D (2)
57-D

Awww, Bob, sounds like she was trying to save that one for herself! Did she give it to you?

3 dimes from yesterday's second box, including a 51S for the album

Up to 42/48

Yes....she gave it to me.

Was not searching rolls but I did get a purse for my mom at a second hand store and was delighted to find a 1966 silver dollar and a 1966 and 1943 silver halves (canadian) but not bad for a 1.99 purse with over 40.00 in silver

The coins were actually still in the purse? That is one of the craziest ways to ever find silver!

yes. in a small pocked inside the purse. I was stoked
