Roll-searchers, post your results!

Thanks. The 3 cent is my oldest circulation find. Prior to that was a 1900-O half, my first post here at cointalk.

I have the same half! LOL found it about a month ago. It is worth 50 cents in my mind, but sure is cool to find!

 

Honestly, with silver at $46.60, do you really think there are many, if any, unsearched rolls ? My banker even told me that the coin companies in our area pull silver. So finding something is really lucky.

 

That's why you have to find a bank that gets the FED boxes.. Brinks boxes are horrible for me. Although if that one I found the ther day was a Brinks box, it was awesome!

 

First post, and first roll search today. 500 bucks in quarters.

The silver search was a side goal, my mother in law is making a full state quarter set for all her grandkids. 8 of them.

Anyway, I got an AR misstrike quarter, and

A 1964-D DDO quarter:

 

Wow, that's a nice silver quarter for circulation.

 

Want it? Totally for sale...

But yes, I was amazed. I work at a place where we manufacture optics, and I grabbed a digital microscope, and was going over the coin when I realized it was a DDO.

 

nice find tek!!

Welcome abord!!

 

Found my third mercury! 1944 pulled out of a dime box today. What else did I pull out of the box? Roll upon roll upon roll of brand spanking new 2011 P BU dimes. I kept 8 rolls just because it broke my heart to pitch them. They were all perfect and shiny and pretty. The thought of them winding up grinding through a coin counter....ew I just couldn't do it.

But now....what do I do with them? I need to find them a happy home somewhere.

 

I just wrapped up using a coin counting machine I bought to count out $300 in cents and bag them for sale as $50 lots. My back is killing me, my ears are ringing from 4+ straight hours of clink clink clink clink... I'm never going to amass this many cents uncounted again, ever.

Worst part is, I'm not even halfway done, ugh. Hopefully I can get a bank to give me some of those heavy-duty ballistic bags to put these things in for shipping.

 

Got a box of halves today, skunk. Anybody have much luck with String & Sons boxes?

 

My best boxes of halves have always been unmarked yellow wrappers. I think they're fed boxes, I can't be sure.

 

Wow

 

I have luck with both Brinks and String and Sons......however, not much luck lately......gonna change that tomorrow though....

 

I keep getting these black wrappers. They suck. The yellow wrappers have been the best for me as well.

 

hating the black....

 

I wonder who put these out at that time? LOL. What about that Ike...is it "toned" or gold plated? When I google that, I see there was a bicent Ike that was 24k, but I can't honestly tell. Either way, my wife is keeping it (she keeps all the Ikes regardless of quality) so it made her happy

 

Long rectangular box? Those are from the FED. Those are the ones I always have good luck with!

Happy hunting!

 

What kind of coin counting machine did you buy? I have been looking for a decent one I could rig up to put coins in my comparitor to weed out silver dimes.

 

Royal Sovereign model... was $170 from walmart.com. I only bought it from walmart because I am going to return it.
