Roll-searchers, post your results!

I found that the ice-breaker oftens helps. We've all been turned down at banks where we don't have an account. I seem to have a lower rate of being turned down when I walk in and do something as simple as handing a teller two $20's and a $10 and ask for a $50 bill. Then I follow it up with asking for halves, Ikes, etc. Next bank, take the $50 and ask for two $20's and a $10. :yes:

1 box of halves = 1 '64
1 box of dimes = skunk

 

Went through about $130 of halves today. The first $50 had nothing special, but the $80 that made it home in the picture had seven 40% halves in it, one of which was an ender! Also picked up a very nice '87 D and a '72 D Ike.

 

I'm jealous of the boxes you're getting down there.

 

My wife and I did 3 boxes of dimes yesterday. I was also able to set up my pick up back. I have a standing order for 500 in halves every Monday.

The 3 boxes of dimes yielded as follows:

Box # 1 (2) 64 Rosie, 56 Rosie
Box # 2 (skunk)
Box # 3 (1) 64 Rosie

total from 1600 in dimes 21 silver dimes

Going to try for 2 more boxes of dimes today and can't wait for my halves to start Tuesday as the banks are closed on Monday.

 

2 roosies from $350 in dimes

 

Those are fantastic numbers on dimes, I would keep at it while your on the hot streak.

Check out the End Roll Finds Thread, this would be a perfect post over there as well.

I always have an error message when I try to open your thread:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 3449065 bytes) in /home/cointalk/public_html/includes/functions.php on line 4726


been on three different comps and it happened at every one!

 

2 boxes of halves...2 skunks.

Welcome to my life. I predict two more skunks and then the next two boxes will put out 1 or 2 coins.

 

I'm blocking you...ha ha ha just kidding. I have no idea why that would happen. Maybe try ie if you are using firefox or vise versa.
Does anyone know how to post in a link to the thread in a post so model77 can click on it and see if that works?

IE at work and Firefox at home. I'm actually not that worried about it. Life will go on. It is strange though.

 

Yesterday I did:

1 box of Halves: Skunk
2 boxes of Dimes: Box 1 Skunk: Box 2 - 2 x Roosies

Grabbed $40 in CWH's at one bank: 2 x 40%ers
Another bank when grabbing my dimes had only 1 Halve available: 1960 Franklin

Still a good day!

 

I'll take that any day! Good Job ace.

Not bad ace. Only managed to grab a box of dimes for this evening, today, as well as cash in change for tomorrows two boxes.

 

And the train keeps rollin! I got another box today and this is what greeted me in practically every roll:







Tons of BU 65s and 67s, and a few 68s. Then a few really nasty ones. Final tally for this box? 92 40%ers and 1 64! Best box ever!

So then I dumped that and went to get another box. "Only" 9 40%ers and 1 64. Normally, 10 silver coins would be a WOOT! moment but the monster box makes it look like a skunk. I need to remember this when I get back to my 10 box skunk streaks. In the meantime, I'm going to enjoy the ride. I get a few more boxes on Thursday. Let's hope the silver hasn't run dry by then.

 

Way to go. Reading these posts makes it blatantly obvious that my timing of getting out of the box searching game due to work was definitely a mistake. Hopefully my boxes coming on Thursday will be ok

 

I am in awe! Please dear God let one of mine look like that soon!

 

These coins are paying for my husband and son to take a fossil collecting trip in March. Funny how one hobby helps pay for another.

 

some awesome finds in boxes lately. I think im getting close to 30 boxes in a row without silver in them. pulled 25 roosies from CWR yesterday and picked up some more Ikes - have too many now and its time to sell...hopefully....also found 20 rolls of bicentennial quarters which I am selling TH.
