Make love not war. This is such a fun friendly thread, let's keep it that way!! Bickering about this now is silly anyway because as soon as the Coin Roll Hunting forum gets started we can have a FAQ sticky!!

There have been tons of Newbies lately. Guess that makes me a sophmore now? I welcome you all, as long as you stay away from MY SILVER!!! Southern MI is claimed!! LOL

2 boxes of halves: 1 40% 1 90%
$300 CWR halves: skunk
1 box quarters: 1 1939
2 boxes of dimes: 1 roosie

I would have been happy with these results a month ago, but the number some of you are pulling are making me very Green with envy!

Do any of you bring your clad halves to Casinos to cash in? I'm not a big gambler or anything and have not been to the Casinos in a number of years. I'm not even sure if they still use halves at Casinos. If they did have coin counters I think that would be a sweet place to cash in huge amounts of halves. Anyone care to shed some light on this subject?

i had a great month, best ever. Here's to February being just as good.

 

Casino's near me don't have anything in the way of coin counters. I haven't played anything besides penny slots there either.

 

Merc....you read the whole thread? Wow....

As far as questions go, I don't see it as a problem. If you don't want to answer the newbie Q's, don't.....just skip it. My 2 lincolns.

It's a 1c coin, I see them from time to time.

Nice box of halves, too. The first one, I mean.

EDIT: 3 per averaged over 4 boxes is pretty good for dimes, too.

 

Thank you model77! I'm a newby too, and have posted several questions, some getting answers and others being ignored/passed over/lost is the clutter.

For the folks who get stirred up over someone asking a question, please just continue reading the other posts, and let those willing to help give their answers. It will help keep the board much more user-friendly.

Thank you,

Robert

 

Ha! The funny part is i found all the halves within the first 8 rolls, then struck out on 92. I usually average 4-5 dims a box, but my bank has different wrapped rolls now. It used to be NF Strings now it is Loomis. I got 5 per box out of the first 2 boxes, the last 2 boxes were 1 a piece. Talk about starting out strong and then getting winded!

 

Went throught 8 boxes of halves last week and pulled a total of 15 40%'s , I'm picking up four boxes tomorrow and hoping to get more than 1 or 2 silvers a box, though that is better then getting a skunk.

 

16 out of 25 rolls of nickels - 3 war nickels and a bunch of decent pre-60 ones - one being a 1950 which is fairly scarce in circulation. This all pretty much came from one CWR.

 

I've only been doing this since christmas myself. I first started looking at several different banks getting customer wrapped rolls. I decided to do a search online for searching coins. Within 5 mins. I could tell I needed to get a bank to order me halves by the box and just used common sense that I wouldn't take them back to the same branch. Would be like slapping the nice lady who offered to order them for me in the face. Then good luck getting them to order you another box. I didn't find this thread till after I had bought a few boxes and has all the info. you need and then some. You don't have to read every post I just cherry picked many of them actually. Very informative and the people on here seem cool and all with the same goals. I hope your on the western side of PA. Enough competition already.lol

 

I have been noticing a decline in the Strings & Son boxes here in my parts too. Dunbar carries for BoA around here and have the holes in the tops of the boxes to look through. When I picked up a box of dimes yesterday (they always let me look through the top) they told me some new boxes that have been coming in don't have the holes. Today when I picked up my two boxes of halves, they were LOOMIS boxes, no holes. It's a different bank and I know LOOMS carriers for them so it makes sense, but they USED to have Strings Boxes for the longest time.

Picked up two boxes of halves (LOOMIS)
Box 1 - Skunk - 2011 NIFC no marked coins
Box 2 - just opened to look - 1968 ender & Bi-Cent silver ender (first ever) and possibly a dirty silver reverse ender, tuff to tell
I'm thinking that will be a good box to open
This makes me feel alot better about my other two banks not ordering my halves earlier this week
HOTN

 

Correct me if I'm wrong, the Bi-Cent S mint mark is a 40% silver coin, not 90%.
HOTN

 

Correct.

 

2 boxes 1 coin

bummer

2 more boxes coming this afternoon

 

Can someone here help me?

I don't think non roll searchers are grasping my question for some reason! Feel free to post inthe other thread (DCA for idiots) if you don't want to pollute this one.

Right now I am keeping my average cost in two seperate categories. My roll searching finds which only cost face value, and my purchases.

I recently sold two rolls of 40% half dollars for roughly $190. My cost was $20. so I have $170 profit. I then turned around though and bought $193 in 90%.

I'm not sure how much I should figure as my cost for the recently bought ounces as I was really just converting the found silver to bought silver. It was not a perfect swap though so I do need to somehow figure in my loss. Does my question make sense?
