Dimes are keeping me alive!!!!

So halves have been terrible for me lately but the dimes have been treating me well the past week.

I've pulled 8 silvers out of my last $950 searched....way above average.

Here's what I pulled from my box at lunchtime today.

$40 worth of halves today......skunk.

 

Nice, about twice my average.

 

I was running 1.23 per box of $250, this little stretch is 2.105 per box. I need it because my last 11 boxes of halves have given up 1 x 40% half.
Taking a break from halve boxes and going to see if I can get some CWR's

Good to see the dimes turning on you. Went back to the bank where I got the CWR of dimes that produced 6 roosies and cleared out their last $135 worth, had one more roosie in it. also got a roll of halves, skunk... two of the rolls of dimes didn't have a coin older than '73. No silver though. Forgot to mention I found an XF '72 T2 yesterday too, here's a pic of the mini-haul minus the 2 40%'ers... you can tell the buff is awesome, even from this crappy pic.

 

1 box dimes skunk.
2 boxes of halves 1st 9/40%, 2nd skunk
$143 loose and CWR halves 96/40%, 12/90%. I am still in shock! Only one roll did not have any silver and three were almost solid silver.

WOW! That is $620.89 worth of silver, or 22.12 ozt of silver!

 

Nice score Intrepid!

 

Nice one Intrepid, I could use another score like that sometime this year...

Here's some slightly better pics of the buff I found.

 

The silver coins have a white edge while clad have a brown edge. Check dates b/c some look clad but are actually silver

 

Merc, was this on your trip through Jersey? How did that go?

 

Gonna pick up some halves tommorrow I'll let yall know how it goes

 

No, that was found yesterday, from a box I picked up locally. Trip through jersey sucked, learned not to take bank trips through jersey, ha.

 

$75 in dime rolls- one '64 and one '60
$100 in dime rolls-skunk

 

just finished my search. I came up on some good suspects. 3. 1969s, 2. 1972, 4. 1982 small date zinc copper, 4. 1964 I Swear Looks like MS68. FOR REAL!!! NOT A SCRATCH ON THEM! Im gonna post them cause they are so awsome lookin for comming out of a grimy roll. lol

 

Just curious here, how common is it to find 1970 to 1974 S cents in circulation? I see that several hundred million were made each year for circulation, but I haven't found any.

 

very,i'm going through a box of pennies right now and have seen at least a rolls worth

 

The haul from yesterday and today:

$3 pennies: 56 copper.
$8 nickles: skunk
$15 dimes: skunk
$430 quarters: A Chinese(?) coin of which I have gotten before; a Panama coin of which I have gotten before. Otherwise skunked. I haven't gotten a few ATB quarters of the Ps needed to fill holes. In fact, only about ten ATBs in all those rolls.

But the market has one of those coinstar machines, I always check the reject slot as I walk by. Once in a while there is a foreign coin. Today I found a 1943P cent. I guess the machines reject magnetic coins.

 

I see you live in Florida. I could be wrong, but I would imagine Florida is the grand daddy of coin roll hunting. 96% of the population is over 75 years old, and they would be just the ones to turn in rolls like you just found. Nice score.

 

Two boxes of halves: A 1945 Walker! Not in great shape (somewhere between VG8 and F12) or a rare date, but it's my first! Now I just need to find a Barber...
