Tore through half a box of halves over lunch, nothing... Hopefully there is something in there.

 

Just finished a box of D's - sorry, Merc - 1 Merc and 1 Roosie.

 

$260 in brw&fed dimes, found a 65 Canadian(80% correct?) and $240 in brw halves found 11 40%

 

I am man enough to admit when I'm wrong... To those whom I doubted their finds, I'm sorry. Although I still believe there are those with, "mines bigger than yours" syndrome... I'm sure many if not most of your stories are true. I will confess I needed a LITTLE proof, so I ordered a few boxes of halves. I'll just say from what I found in the first box makes all the posts much more believable. Even with the current silver climate and all the searchers, it's still there to find...

Roll on...

 

Yes on the canadian and wow, nice BWR's.

Another box of dimes - one 58-D

Can anyone post up difference between dirty silver rims on dimes and dirty clad ones?

 

2 boxes of dimes -- 4 roosies, 1 merc

1 box of nickels -- 2 war, 3 buffs (all dateless), 1 proof.

1 roll of quarters to use at car wash for all of our vehicles -- 1 '53

 

Thanks i was very surprised when I pulled one(let alone 10 more) silver out thinking they where someones dumps because this bank rarely gets halves in. Funny thing is it's the same bank(although a different branch) that I could walk into and get $50 bwr's and pull at least 5 silver everytime. I'm not sure if an account holder is finding all these "old" halves and bringing them in to get counted or what but hey either way I'm not going to complain haha

I also found a double headed 1964 trick coin in the mix too, not sure what it's made of but it's a neat find.

 

I find it easiest to edge search and just pull out anything that isn't obviously clad. Then I date check the dozen or so I pull out. I've got a little hand magnifier with a light (I have model M-7LB) that makes date checking a cinch.

 

Good job on the '53 Q!

 

If it's made the way the high quality one's are, it's the real deal - silver.

 

Skunked on the halves, bah.

 

I have had bad luck finding much of silver in anything lately. It is getting depressing!

 

Dumped, cashed in, asked for dollar coins as is customary for me, got a '78 ike, MS '72 T2 , and three Morgans! Week made!

 

Merc, you're kidding...I'm jealous, lets see!

 

Awesome score Merc! Congrats.

 

3 Morgans?!? Very nice!

 

'89 - XF
'21 - AU50
'21 - AU58
'72 T2 - MS62... spotting. If I can get the spots off (Distilled water, acetone, xylene, then a spot dip process...) it's probably a borderline 64.
