I'm getting so sick of roll hunting. I haven't found much in months. We turned in a skunk box today and my husband found a 64 quarter in the reject bin, that's about it. So frustrating.

 

Your back!

 

Yeah, I had surgery a couple months ago and just got out of the coin collecting while focusing on healing. I'm only doing 2 boxes a week now because my favorite bank with all the monster boxes said they won't order halves any more. They specifically said "go to an area coin dealer." Really? Coin dealers don't sell boxes of halves. It really irked me. And now the only boxes left are just junk. It makes me sad

 

Today's results:
$16 Nickles: 1957D, 1936P Buffalo, full date, unlike the last couple of buffalo I have found with no dates at all.
$20 Dimes: Skunk.
$170 Quarters: Two extra, one nickle in a roll, that roll was full though.

Wow, 55 cents extra, now I can buy that '57 T-Bird.

 

Stopped at the bank, looked through the 7.00 in halves the teller had and found a really nice 1973 proof half, my second proof find in a week!

 

8 rolls of pennies

75 95% coppers

1950-P, 1958-D wheaties 1 more 1958-D and I'll have a roll of them, Woo, Woo. :rollling:

 

i have a fine or better 1885 o us Morgan...

 

box of halves - skunk

 

$500 bag of dimes yielded a '64 and '60. One more bag to pick up in the morning.

 

My girls in the accounting office came through for me again, but big time! When they have hand wrapped rolls going out they have to put them on the scale. If it is short that dump them and count them, then add the needed coin/s. Well my hero dumped this short roll out and here is what she found and heard make that amazing sound it must have made as 18 of the quarters were silver. There were 4 Canadian coins (1 silver), plus the roll was short a quarter (thank God!) which is what made the weight off. Of the 39 coins in the roll: 3 Canadiens of no importance. 18 bicentenials. Then the beauties in the picture. 41, 42, 48, 52, 54, 57, 58, 62, (9) 64's, and a 67 Canadian.

Thanks you customer who paid with your parent's or grandparent's roll of coins. Just to think that if they had 40 coins in the roll (or no Canadians) they would have been stuck in an employee's register and handed out for change all day. I wanted to just sit up there and start dumping rolls, but unfortunately nobody is allowed in the vault besides accounting and they don't have time to specifically look through coins for me. I was just dreaming of 10 more of these rolls in there.

I thought it was interesting that they thought enough to save all that silver but then had a bunch of 76's in there as well. Either way....SCORE!

 

JRC!!! You lucky duck! Look to be in decent shape ta boot!

 

No kidding! If it wasn't such a pay cut I would ask to transfer to the cash office.

They are in solid shape, but I will confess I clean my silver. I know coin collectors have a hissy fit over cleaning coins, but I like my stacks of silver looking nice. Of course I would never do it to a coin that has value beyond it's melt. But a little hot water and a couple of drops of lime/rust remover never hurt anyone.

Work has been a better source of silver for me than the banks lately.

 

did you make sure that the 76s weren't 40% silver quarters?

 

I can understand skunk boxes of halves, quarters, and dimes; but when you get a skunk box of nickels it really is depressing

 

Yeah I did. Nothing special there. Those I can kind of see keeping if you are just an amateur coin grabber, but the 3 Canadians that were not silver are the ones that baffled me.

 

i picked up 4 40% halves this morning from the coin sorter at one of our branches, '65, '67, 2x '68. first halves i've picked up in months



also, in a bag of nickels i found a 1955 hong kong 10 cent piece with queen elizabeth on it. haven't researched it yet much beyond confirming its origin.

 

Yesterday, 9 cwr of halves... nothing. I did pick up 80 ikes and the teller has about 80 more that I may go pick up today.

Picked up 95 more ikes today.
