Roll-searchers, post your results!

Dan,
So you're saying there's no way to tell. Oh well, it's still silver and my first mackrel so it's pretty cool in my opinion.
Thanks

My favorite bank let me look through all the brinks clear wrapped dimes at their stations Found one roll I wanted to keep - 1 roosie

 

That's nice of them to let you do that, they would be my favorite bank too. It's almost like pulling silver from a tellers tray.

Going to the casino with my wife tonight. I will be asking for halves or anything "old or funny." Wish me luck!!

 

Yes, it's still silver. It's a keeper, no doubt.

 

jamee, that indian is GORGEOUS! i have found 2 out of 30 boxes and none were even close to that. amazing find!

went through a nickel box, found 30 pre-'60 and 2 War Nickels, went to pick up my 2 half boxes today and they said they hadn't ordered them... thats like 4 times in the past 5 weeks. Its frustrating because I was looking forward to them.

 

Wow! that's a great looking Indian Head from circulation! Congrats

 

Found this in a roll today. Searched about 20 cent rolls found 4 wheat cents a few Canadian cents and this 2000 wide AM.

 

Nice pulls inquisitive and VACookie.

I did a box and found 4 40%ers.

Well, another 4 boxes of skunks. This has been the worst week for halves since I started. A total of $6500.00 worth of halves and a whopping (2) 40%ers. Add in the $40.00 fees for the boxes and it was a losing week for halves. Dimes were decent though.

On the bright side, I did pull a lot of clad proofs this week.

 

Been out of town for a while and did some sporadic searching but found nothing.

2 boxes today - both skunks

 

i have this 1979 S susan b anthony dollar its in almost perfect condition about ms 55
how much is it worth

 

Two boxes of half dollars each week for the last month (8 boxes total):

4 90%
9 40%
5 proofs, heavily circulated
48 NIFC (including a few BEAUTIFUL 1987's)
about 50 high-grade keepers

 

$1900 in BWR halves; 1 '57-D, nothing else.

Two boxes of dimes, both were pretty much 75% 2011's... Still yielded 5 silvers. Wonder what they'd be like without all that new crap in there...

 

Merc - one of the boxes of dimes I searched yesterday was 95% 2011's. I found 1 Silver. I was actually shocked beyond belief!

 

2 boxes of halves tonight.

Box 1 - 5 x 40% Kennedy
Box 2 - Skunk

I'll take it.

 

I think dumps... All those 2011's I was dumping are coming back through. The timing, about 2 months since, makes sense.

Picked up an AG '96-O Barber Half for melt today, was pretty happy with that.

 

That just doesn't make cents (hahaha bad coin pun) to me. Silver is significantly heavier than copper. If the two coins weight the same, then the 80% silver variety has to have a smaller mass. It's the only way that could possibly work. Plus the density would be completely different. If this is the case, you could tell the difference with a specific gravity test, if you could determine the specific gravity of either dime (or something else of the same weight, volume, and density....try googling it). I'm sure there are other ways too. Like I said the two dimes would have to have completely different densities, and there are tools to measure that.

I'd say it'd be more accurate to say that there is no easy or practical way to tell the difference, unless you happen to be a chemistry or physics professor with access to lab equipment.

 

That's pretty much my point. Thanks for the info.

 

1 box of Quarters
12 bicentennials
1947S
1954D
2009/2010 Paralympic Games Canadian quarter
1994 Republika Hrvatska 2 Kune
2x2011D ATB Washington Olymipic so if some one needs one I have one to spare, PM me

So I am very satisfied with my first box of quarters, was hoping for at least 2 silver and 2 foreign and the ATB's was a plus to my collection.
