Roll-searchers, post your results!

Finally found a bank with a quantity of halves - $140 and they were all 1995-P! Crap!

If they were original rolls, you probably could have sold them for a premium without opening them.

 

$100 in quarters; skunk
$150 in dimes; skunk.

Did I bleed ALL of the silver out around here? Jeeze.

 

Can't see how that's possible since you are so close to a major city (right?).

 

Yeah, I know, but my finds have dropped off a cliff over the past month or so.

 

Did a box and found 4 40%ers.

Erin and I sold 18 rolls of 40%ers today (10 from me and 8 from him) for $86 a roll (craigslist). I'm EXTREMELY pleased at the price we got.

 

Did another $100 from the box at the bank and found nothing but 3 nice looking halves. 1 1989 D looks maybe like it was from a mint set, almost no wear, a 2001, and a 2003. No silver this time.

 

I have tried going through boxes of halves with very poor results. MAYBE one 40% per $100.00. But my main thing is sorting through rolls of pennies. I probably average about 1/3 copper with a wheat every three or so rolls. I have found several Indian heads as well! The oldest being 1867 I believe. You never know what you will find though- it's fun!

 

Wow, an 1867, that's crazy... I've found one in ~$1000 searched... also, 5 40%'ers per box of halves is really solid, my average is well under that.

 

2 boxes of nickels: about 1 roll of Pre-60, 1 no date buff, 1 43-P war nickel, and my first 38-d roll searching. (I bought a 38-d a few weeks ago to complete my album......of course I find it after I bought one.) Oh well, now I have 2.

 

Wow!!! I would be EXTREAMLY pleased also!!!!

 

Considering I got $75 last week, I'd say $86 is a great price.

Of course it jumps after I sell, ugh.

Another box of cents down, 5 Canadians, no BU RD 60's though.

I have two rolls with wheaties one end, these rolls are wrapped from the fed, not an original bank wrap.I got them from the bank, I'll post results in a little bit,stay tuned lol.

 

Well, I finally finished my two day roadtrip. I spent $3700.00 in bags, boxes, and loose halves. Here are the results:

(13)90% Halves(2-Frankies)
(50)40% Halves
(1)Silver dime(In the halves bag)
(1)1822 1 Cent(in a half bag)

I spent about $35.00 in gas, so the net profit will be around $330-$350

 

$32 in cwr's and loose halves today... nothing.

 

I dig it. Attribute the large cent yet?

 

I finally got ahold of the 4 boxes I mentioned earlier ... The bank changed suppliers... And took longer because of this... I've done one box and got skunked... Hopefully the others prove to be better...

 

Wow, a large cent from 1822? How cool, and congrats on all of your finds.....it seems you have hit an area not searched for a while and have found more than most in a short time.....Keep going!!!

I had a good day today.

1 box: Skunk
$437 in loose, CWR, and a few BWR: 30 40%ers and 1 1958 D Frankie.

 

Jeeze, silly Texans turn in lots of silver.

Wish things were half as nice up here.

 

I was just wondering how often any of you find buffalo nickels? I got 10 rolls of nickels from the bank yesterday and found 1, so i was just wondering how rare they actually are.
