Roll-searchers, post your results!

Just started about two months ago with my collecting. About a month ago I started searching rolls. Started off buying boxes at banks and it took me a while to find a bank willing to order me boxes. I have progressed to driving around to banks asking for halves as it seems more lucrative.

Recently after a site visit for my job I hit up about 8-9 banks in the town I was in. I bought a $1000 coin-lok bag at one bank, about $700 in rolls at another bank, and finally $500 in rolls at yet another bank. Out of those $2200 in halves .... all skunks! What was interesting at one bank the teller had a single half in her drawer ... a 1968. At another bank the teller had about three dollars in halves ... one 1967. Yet at another bank the teller had six dollars in halves ... one 1964. I thought that was hilarious. Out of $2200 in rolls I got nothing. Out of $10 in loose halves, two 40% and one %90.

I have an account at a credit union with a change counter which is free for members. It is convenient to dump all the skunks. Boy this is addicting! I had a previous outing in which I had pretty nice results. I'll give details about that trip next.

Went to the bank who said they have over $110 in halves, somebody else picked them all up. I usually buy pennies, but my bank didn't have any.
So I asked for dimes. Bought $75 CWR Dimes and found a tarnished '63. My first silver coin from roll searching.

BEST FEELING EVER!

 

I finally got the phone call. Got my FIRST half dollar box ... :hail: .... searched them but pretty disappointing ... of 1000 coins, only found 2x67 kennedy and 1x52 franklin .... should I continue getting half dollar box? .... not sure if it's worth my time

 

Was able to go through about $100 in halves today... 2 40%'s. Couple rolls of quarters and dimes... nothing.

 

The other day i picked up some rolls grandpa must of had tucked away. I got five rolls of all 1940-1960's too bad no silver in them and nothing but a bunch of worn coins but a couple goodies were tucked away in them.

1940-S



1948



1952-S



1960-D




And i got all these real nice early 1960's pennies out of one box it was fun to find them also a few nice wheaties too!

I wonder if I was the guy who beat you to them

 

Thats a pretty good box in my opinion, sometimes you dont find any at all!

 

WOW congrats on the Barber ive been after her for four years now!

 

Two Die Cracks that I got in change yesterday. I like getting these in change, feel like I got a find, even though no value!

 

That's a nice Day Moon!

 

Sweet Score on the Barber Ace!

 

I would take that box any day! Those are very good numbers and you should order more boxes if they are going to be anything like that first one.

Noob - It was the second roll I searched out of that box and the only Silver. So strange, but I'll take it. It's a pretty cool find. The coin is pretty beat and not worth more than melt, but it's a fun find to scratch off my list.

I still have not found a 1970!

 

The 1970 D $1/2 was only in a mint set.

Wonderful display. Great shots. Those sixties Lincolns look like there in XF condition, nice, really nice.

Sounds like the barber half I found in the TD bank bag and couldn't keep. Glad it at least came back to one of us, I've yet to find one....

 

yesterday did some dimes. about $300 of CWR gave me 4 roosies, one merc, and 3 canadians. (44s, 62d, 3x64d)

 

Solid results.

 

4 nickel rolls - one 1943. I'll take that anytime.

 

Killer Lunch time Score!

Roll up to my bank to put a box of dimes in the coin counter. It came out $0.59 short but who cares with the score I just got!

After the coin machine is done counting I grab my ticket and head to the teller for deposit. I ask if they ever have customers turn in half dollars and she replies "sometimes". I come back with "do you happen to have any at this time?" She does not but, a couple tellers a few windows down speak up and one has $5.50 and the other $0.50. I can hear them putting them together and I hear CLANK, CLANK, CLANK! I give her my $6.00 and she stacks them up on the counter. They are absolutely littered with silver. I scoop them up, thank them again, and head out to my car so I can enjoy the spoils. Here's the kill for the day....

1 X 1963D Frankie
1 x 1964 Ken
2 x 1966 40%er
2 X 1967 40%er
1 x 1969 40%er

This is my first ever teller tray score and has a Frankie hidden in there, so sweet! I loved the sight when the teller laid them on the counter, I could tell there was tons of silver and at least a 90%er. The 1964 is clean and in very nice shape. I'm going to have to bring them donuts again soon and keep them happy.
