Did a box of Nickels yesterday.

3 War Nickels

 

$120 in loose and cwr of halves from 5 different banks... an 87p and a 2001s silver. Also picked up 32 ikes and found 8 cents in a coinstar.

 

Box of halves; 1 40%. First box in a while. Gonna grab another box Thursday.

 

Went to three banks... Only the last bank had halves ... 290 and they appeared to have been searched but took them anyways and got a 1963 Frankie ... Not bad when I was just hoping for a nifc

 

Nice find:

Box of nickels: 2-39's, 2-40'2, 43 P, 43D ..several fifties, including 55 D/S and one buffalo..1920 Fantastic box!!!

 

Box number Six: Skunk!

 

Opinions needed

]After 6 rolls of "Ocean View" quarters. Seemed to be two distinct reverses. One type..with only a couple found(4), with very thick leaves, but most predominant on the left side of the two tallest trees and bottom branches of the second tallest. The second, with several found, had doubled leaves in all the same spots. Seems it could be re-strikes, but the leaves are VERY bold. Pictures could be better but any opinions appreciated!

 

Forgot to mention, out of $50 in dimes yesterday, I found one silver. I then proceeded to drop it underneath my seat in my car, which is motorized and now I cannot get it. Irritating.

 

Hey, if you drive a car as long as I do before selling it, you've just upped its eventual trade-in value by a few percent...

 

If I end up taking a job in Philly, which is looking likely, I'll be selling it within the next 6-8 months for something a bit more fuel efficient.

 

*1 War Nickel, a 1945-P.
*24 Early Jeffersons, including a 1941-D with full steps and a plain 1955.
*3 Canadians
*1 Bermuda five-cent piece.

 

Oh, by the way, one of my supply banks finally told me who they order their halves through... JP Morgan. Wait, what?

 

I tore up a rubber barrier in my car to get a 40%er that I dropped once. It never looked right after I put it back together......lol. I guess I love my silver.....

 

No way I wanna deal with anything that has several moving parts, a motor, and was built in Japan, haha. I'll never be able to put it back together and my seat will be stuck all the way back... when you have a manual, that is a serious issue, lol.

 

Box of dimes; Skunk. TD's dime boxes are dead, woe is me!

Box of cents; 8 Canadians, '61, '68-S and a '73 all RD and MS.

Boring box.

 

Close again but missed out on a good score.

Went to a new dump bank today and talked with one of the tellers. Naturally she asked what in the world I was doing with so many half dollars. I explained to her I'm a collector and was putting an album together etc. She went on to tell me that someone brought a bag of strange coins in last month that she had never seen before, they had Ben Franklin on them. Of course, they had already been sent out to Brinks

Maybe I need to buy some boxes from Brinks!

 

Good Evening. This is my first post and I have been roll searching Halves for about 2 months. I love it!!!

I was curious if anyone knew where the 'major' banks draw their coinage from. I have witnessed Chase, and Wells Fargo pull from Brinks as my dump credit union also pulls from Brinks. I pull from BOA.. anyone have any thoughts to this??

Also, has everyone found a 'dump' that has a coin counter? I found one the hard way after I ordered 4k $10.00 half rolling papers. So if they take away the counters, I will survive.

Thanks in advance!!

 

Not sure if the majors due it by region or have an exclusive contract with each delivery service.

RBC - Garda
FCB - Brinks
BB&T - Brinks

Not sure about the rest, these are the three I primarily deal with. If I can find a bank that orders through Dunbar or Loomis I'll try and grab a few boxes through them also.

No coin counters in my area, I have to roll all of mine back which is a major pain.

 

Where in the heck do you find the wrapping paper? I live in a BIG city and have been to 20 banks and at most was give 15 wrappers. Nobody has them here. So I had to order 4k of them for 23 bucks.. ($40k worth of halves fit in there, figured it would last a few months).
