Nice Chester!

 

Searched 2 more boxes of Halves today...

Box 1 (A First) - 1 x 1945 Walking Liberty (an ender too)
Box 2 - 1 x 1964 Kennedy

That's it. No Skunk...so, I'm happy!

 

Good job ace!!! :smile

Skunked on halves, skunked on nickels.

Try again tomorrow, I guess.

 

Tried out some nickels last night - 25 BWR yielded 2 war nickels. Got another 25 BWR to search...

Still trying to figure out if I should be keeping my eye out for anything else. Do the low mintages from before the 60's yield any significant premiums?

 

Found a 1905 Indian Head cent today!

 

I hate that banks aren't open on the weekends, I want to do more hunting!

 

I found these at a local bank that only has a few branches. I had 6 more Liberties, 3 40% Kens and 7 90% kens, but just traded them. It was the highest ratio of silver halves I ever found while roll hunting. All of this was in 18 $10 rolls (all that they had at the branch). It had to be a batch just sitting somewhere for a while, because the newest halves were dated 2001. Most of the time I would be lucky to find 1 40% Ken in a $500 box. I don't recall ever finding Walking Liberties in circulation before (maybe one). This branch had only been open for a week. I thought I'd stop in while on my silver hunting run, hoping to find one or two halves in a teller's tray. I asked if they had any halves, and the teller asked me how many do I want. I asked her how many she had, and she again asked how many do I want. I told her I have $200 on me, and she went to check. She came back with 18 rolls and said I would have to open an account if I want more. While I was waiting for her, the manager from their norther branch (who was their training the newbies) asked, "What; You need halves? God, I got a boatload of them at the _____ branch(the home office). Apparently, that is where this branch got their inventory from. I now know they have over 60 more rolls. If it wasn't a 2 hour drive, I'd have them already. Since they will not transfer them down, they said they would hold them for me until next week.

 

They have casinos in floridia? They are always open...Thats where I get my halves!

 

Nice finds! Better hit that other branch!

 

7 40% out of 400$ in halves, 3 dimes in a box, plus 2 quarters from the teller tray.

Nice finds JimBurns, Merc (on the peace dollar) & LC!

 

I went for a ride this afternoon in my friend's 1936 Ford Coupe. About a mile from home we ran out of gas (those old Ford gas gauges still don't work!) While he was calling anybody he could think of that might have a gallon of gas on hand, I walked to the Hixville (really, that is the name of the town) General Store to buy some refreshments. I ended up with a 1969 Kennedy Half in change. Not too bad for a 15 minute walk on a great summer afternoon! Happy 4th of July everybody!

Who let this thread get to the second page?

2 silvers out of a box of dimes, and a war nick and polished buff out of a box of nickels.

 

Sorted and counted my ikes while I was looking for some FEV's. Still haven't found one.

And I just sold 100 last week! Plus, I have 200 more to pick up this week! Where the crap are these coming from?

 

Poor Mec

 

Fixed that for you.

And yes, it is making me poor! This money comes out of my roll-searching funds, haha. I think I've got like, $350 right now to search with, not even enough for a box of halves... need to move these. Gonna put some lots up at a $150 BIN for $100 face and see if I get any bites, and maybe toss a lot of 100 up for auction, although I didn't do too good with 'em last week.

 

It ok buddy! I am in the thousands posts after only four months being here btw! :smile

 

Searched through 10 rolls of nickels, found a 43 S, a 45 S, and a dateless buffalo

 

Good Job!
