$350 in Brinks rolls today - Halves

One '69 and one NIFC

I have really had HORRIBLE luck with Brinks rolls and I see that others are just cleaning up.

I don't get it.. ohh well mine are all marked up. I think Brinks is the dumping grounds where I am

Ohh ya and $3100 in dimes $500 in bank wrapped rolls.. 35 Silvers.. $2600 from Brinks with clear plastic.. 2 Silvers.. That's out of 31,000 dimes!

I don't like Brinks rolls.. now you know why

 

And on top of this lost about $30 when I took it all in to cash out on the dimes.. said I had a lot of pennies.. BS

 

I search partial bags of Kennedy halves from my local bank. For years, I've seen averages of 2% to 2.5% silver in Kennedy halves. This bag is gonna mess that statistic up.

My new favorite teller called to tell me that there was $100 in the bag on the machine, so I should come in. I did.

Paid $120 for a partial bag.

Contents:

117.00 in half dollars
.90 in dimes, quarters, and nickels

Of the halves:
11 Franklin halves
2 1964 Kennedy halves
8 40% Kennedy halves
1 1988-S Kennedy PROOF half (not so proof any more)

.... so the silver was 8.97% of all half dollars. Way cool. I made about $165 profit on an investment of $120. I can live with that.

Trash:
One batting cage token
One car wash token

Foreign
1 old Mexico peso - 1971
1 10 peso coin, Dominican Republic

 

did 12 rolls of nickels today....nothing special

but I did just get a jefferson nickel album 1938-2002 with all mint marks and proofs...So I used those 12 rolls for filling in the pages

 

Speaking of Albums I have decided to junk these Whitman cardboard things.. Not to take the thread off here, but are Dansco Albums good? I was looking at the Half one last night for about $25 and that included proofs.. Thinking about buying one. Do they 'snap (halves don't snap in btw) in'??

TIA

 

And in the process of deciding what albums I needed I forgot I had a blank quarter one with 24 Barbers in it.. made my day!

Before anyone decides to poke some fun.. it was '94 since I have opened them up.. (some of them)

 

Honestly I'm a real cheap bugger...lol So I didn't get Whitman or Dansco anything...I really have no budget being a college student and only being collecting for a little over a month.

I found a site that sells all types of supplies and got 2 albums that are simply called The Coin Collector

Like I said it has a spot for every jefferson nickel from 1938 to 2002, including all 3 mints for each year and proofs. You can see both sides of the coins and you just gently push the coin into the nickel sized hole. It's held in place by two thin plastic sliders on the front and back.

All the albums are only $5 each....yeah....I'm soooo cheap lol They work totally fine for me though

 

I had a good silver day today:

1/2 a box from a bank: Skunk
1 CWR from another bank: 1 1964 Kennedy and 1 1945 Walker

Then I went to my coin club and won a 1889 Morgan Dollar as a door prize.

 

After one box of nickels, I found:

*Two War Nickels (both were 1943-P)
*17 early Jeffersons, oldest was 1941
*Five Canadian and one Bermudan nickel
*A 1917 Buffalo (Date was very readable!)

 

Um, if you're taking 'em to TD to cash in, you can state you're losing money every time you cash in and they'll do an adjustment after their pick-up company recounts everything.

 

Finished the box of cents I started at work yesterday... yes, again.

Great finds WarNickel!

 

Dang I've been looking for a WAM....still havent found one yet tho

 

I'll mail you one of my 2000's if you want one.

 

I'd love one Merc. I only have a single 1998, and if you are giving out a 2000.......

 

Found 1 %40 silver half out of 38 customer rolls

 

forreal? that would be awesome

I've been checking 98-2002's for a WAM but haven't had any luck yet...I swear after a few rolls my eyes start playing tricks on me and I see all sorts of imaginary errors lol

 

I was just wondering what the total amount of coins you guys have looked through is. I would say I've probably looked through $150 in pennies and $5500 in halves. For the people who have been here a while and search often, I bet your numbers are crazy.

 

From an envelope full of Ikes, I found a clad 1973-S proof.
