Roll-searchers, post your results!

I've had banks that I don't bank with tell me that they would charge me $0.10 per roll to buy them. Some have asked for $0.10 per roll to sell as well. Mostly it means go away and don't bother us.

Hi everybody!

I can't believe it has been nearly 3 weeks since I've posted. I've been swamped at work and had a week vacation in there as well.

Here are my paltry finds:

3 weeks ago:
3 boxes: total of 1 64 and 3 40%ers

2 weeks ago:
3 boxes: Total of 2 40%ers including a 1976 S
$188 in loose/CWR/BWR: Skunk

This week
1 box: Skunk
1 $1000 bag of dimes: 6 silver Roosies
$143 in loose/BWR/CWR halves: 1 1964


This all left me 1 coin short of a milestone I've been trying to hit. I got another box today and found 1 1964 and 1 40%er. Milestone Reached. I'll describe in in another post.

I scanned through the last 3 weeks of posts and there were some nice finds, noteably the peace dollar and the the Morgan and Peace dollar. And, the 1919 Merc dime was a beaut. I'll try not to be such a stranger!!!

CONGRATS BOBBETH!!

My goal is 500oz. feels like I am about 600oz away from my goals right now! LOL

 

Speaking of strangers, what ever happened to VACOOKEY? maybe her monster finds have slowed down.

 

I think she posted last week sometime. Don't believe she had monster finds that time but some silver.

 

2 boxes of dimes gave up 4 roosies and a 1915 Cuban dime (.900 silver)... so basically 5 silvers.

Box of nickels gave me a '20 and that's it.

 

On my spreadsheet I've added in the foreign silver and show 465.42635 oz of silver found.

 

Today:
box 1 of halves: 2 40%ers
box 2 of halves: 1 40%er
$50 CWR halves: skunk

 

Nothing extraordinary as of late but yesterday I found 4 proof Lincolns (80, 82, 88, 92), a P and D uncirculated set token, two Canadians, and a 1998 and 2000 WAM. Pulled a '34 and 1919-S wheatie earlier this week and a few more wheats. Only silver in the past month has been a couple Rosies, a '66 Kennedy, and a '43-P Nickel.

 

Way to go Bob! Congrats.

 

The stink continues...

Friday - 2 boxes of Halves: Skunk
Sat - 1 box of Halves: Skunk

11 out of 12 skunks and 31 out 34 skunks....awful.

 

The thing with this machine is that the bag never has to be changed. When the bag is full the machine pauses and the machine starts filling another bag. Good idea about adding in the Canadian coins, this machine rejects them. The machines at TD have a magnet that sucks up the foreign.

 

That is awful news Ace. I would have hung it up a while ago. Congrats to you for sticking with it. Good luck to you man.

Wow....that is awful. Here's hoping your next one breaks the streak.

 

Box of dimes: a '64 D and a '46 S

 

1 box of halves - 1 x 2002 P and 1 x 2006D
& $10 BU Kentucky P in plastic roll <---someone run out of cash, probably.......

 

I admire you for sticking with it. If i have 3 or 4 boxes that are skunk, I usually give serious thought to giving up, then I find one or two silvers and keep going. You have true perseverance.

 

8 boxes 4 40%'s from 2 different boxes and two other random 40%'s from the others; Also a nicely toned 89 that looked neat and 3 NIFC that I threw back. There were also a boatload of new looking 1993's; A few months ago, I first noticed all the 1996's that looked brand new. Where do these come from 19 years after they were minted?; Wonder if they are leftovers at the mint that are being released now?

 

Box of halves: 2 x 40%ers
Box of dimes: 2 Roosie's
