1918-S wow some rolled up a great date!

 

No, 18 S-mint nickels, I think he means.

 

So I stopped at a bank that I havent been to before to try to get some halves. So the teller I end up with says she has no rolls and they rarely have more than a few. The teller next to me hears me and says she has about a roll loose. I said, I would take them. She hands them to my teller.....WHO....takes them as a stack, looks at the edges and then palms them all and scans the dates before handing them to me. Maybe I am suspicious, but it sure looked like the teller was looking for silver halves.

So, I got a box of nickels and left. In that box, no silver. About 30 pre-1960. 4 of 1947. Only a few 2010. I was tempted to take my box of loose nickels back to the teller who went thru the halves, but cant bring myself to do it.

 

I love sticking it to tellers that pull silver out right in front of me. I had one pull a couple Franklins out of $5 at a local FCU, so I went to another bank nearby, got $1000 in ones, took it back to that Credit Union, waited for that teller to become available, then made her deposit them into our business account.

They didn't have counting machines for bills, so she had to count them by hand.

FWIW; I believe tellers should always prioritize customer service and if it's in their tray and you ask for it, you should be entitled to it. If they make it through their shift with nobody asking for it, they get to keep it.

 

I got $70 in rolled halves from one bank found 1 %40'er
Another $90 from another bank pulled a 1964
2 boxes of halves - nothing
$100 in dimes - nothing
found 2 silver dimes at work!

 

I ment 18 San Francisco Minted Nickels

 

$320 in halves today, just an 82-S. Think I am getting someone else's dump. But tomorrow, my box order comes in.

 

Did a box of halves today.......very strange box:
1 1987
1 1979 S proof
1 1980 S Proof
1 2004
1 1919 British Penny (bronze)
2 Mexican Un Peso coins (non-silver)
1 40%er

At least it was interesting.... lol

 

Novice Searcher

New to rollsearching. I had to visit 7 banks before I could find any halves. I am in a rural area. I found a bag of $300 at the last bank. Also found a bank that will order me boxes of halves for free. I think I will get good results because I don't think anyone searches here.

Results from fist $300
3 Franklins
18 64 Kennedys
3 40%ers

Also found two 71D Kennedys that looks like a DDRs . Trying to get a good pic to post. I can't find anything on DDRs in that year . Any help would be greatly appreciated

 

Welcome to CT TN Rollsearcher. Extremely nice finds there on your first $300....21 90%ers is a "WOW!" in my book......welcome to the obsession.

 

Rookie question. What does NIFC stand for?
Got my first 2 boxes of halves Just finished first box no silver but got BU 2007 D & P and BU 2008 D for my collection.

 

Holy Cow!

71D DDO, awesome doubling in the RUS of TRUST. It looks just like the pic of the one in the cherrypickers guide. My cameras are terrible, but I will try to get a good pic to post. I will definitely be doing this again!

 

Nifc

New to this myself , but I think it is ( not intended for circulation ).

 

Was cashing a check at the bank today noticed a white edge coin in the tellers tray asked her if I could have it and she said she was keeping it but I could look at it and it was a 1969D at least it wasnt a franklin it was in great shape BU.

 

Started a account at a local Savings and Loan. Asked if they would sell me the bags of coins from the coin sorter and the head of there new account group called the VP over to ask and the VP said she would keep my phone number and call anytime they got a full bag. I ask how many people they do that for and she said no one had every asked before.

 

30 dollars in nickel nothing special 20 WJ 7 pre 60's and 5 2010 P. 50 dollars in halves skunked.

 

I finally found a 1987-S Kennedy in a box last night after god knows how many boxes and rolls we've gone through. The funny/unfortunate thing is, it's probably one of the worst looking halves I've found. The thing looks like it was buried in the ground for 6 months.
I'm still putting it in the book because it's the only one we've found. The book is now full, we have everyone from 64-2010 but don't have all of the proof coins yet.

No silvers in 4 boxes last night.

 

Great I have a buddy that runs a Tobacco shop and someone payed him with a 1988-D and 1991-S Kennedy Half.
as the economy gets bad folk sell or cash in thing they should not.
But happy hunting!!!

 

Are you all saving the impaired halves you find? I'm trying to put together a complete set, but I have probably 50 others 1/2 of which are in really bad shape. Is there a market for them? Are you spending them?

Just curious.....
