Roll-searchers, post your results!

I think this could get addicting. I should probably buy some rolls for the coins I already have. What do you guys use?

What do you have? For pure junk, I'll just use wrappers from the bank.

 

I inherited a bunch of coins... junk silver according to the dealer I showed them to. Mostly just silver halves and dimes, a few quarters and a whole bunch of buffalo nickels and wheat pennies.

 

You mean for coins you're saving in your collection right? If it's not good enough to go in a 2x2, I use the tubes. They're cheap, and sure, it's just junk silver going in, but I like them a lot better than paper rolls. I do use pre-crimped paper rolls for wheat cents, however, which i just save when I get CWR from the bank.
The tubes are available at lots of places, such as coin shops, ebay, or wizard:

Never trust "a dealer". Trust someone you know, or someone who is not interested in buying, as they have no ulterior motives. Your "dealer" may be gunning for a key that you don't even know that you have.

Want to post some pictures? Did you check the red book? Do you have a list?

 

I haven't really had time and I am really bad with a camera. I dont even have a nice camera. I picked up a redbook from the same dealer and am going to go through them when I have a chance, probably tonight.

 

Thanks for the link Ill have to check it out.

 

$270 BWR halves - '66

 

$25 in cents: 5 Wheats....worst box ever.

 

Box of nickels, skunk other than a flattened penny. On to the coin counter dime bags...

 

Box of dimes - skunk

 

Box of halves = 2 NIFCs

 

Went to a local smalltown bank. They had $600 worth of loose halves. I asked if I could search through them at the bank and they said yes. I quickly went through looking for silver edge coins and after searching through 1200 halves in about 15 minutes, there were none. I have a feeling it's a dump bank. However, I know the branch manager so I have asked her to contact me if she finds any older coins. So, in summary:

$600 loose Halves: skunk!

 

$20 CWR of nickels - two pre-60 keepers (40-S and 42-D [nickel]) and a 45-P war.

The $20 is likely the remainder from the interesting rolls I had on Tuesday. I have $20 in CWR dimes waiting for home tonight.

 

Picked up some dimes on lunch today, a mix of all kinds of rolls. There was one 1963, in my first roll and then nothing.

 

Box of halves - skunk

 

Four boxes of halves, $12.50 loose halves, box of dimes: Nothing. Never thought it would happen to me, but one of the boxes was taped shut and full of re-wraps! And not only that, but I'm almost certain it was one of my own dumps! The other box in that order had these tags on it:

The boxes were picked up on order from a branch of Orange Bank, and I sometimes dump at the downtown branch. No idea what Purple Bank has to do with anything, though...

 

box of nickels = 42S and 43P (i think it was a P)
and about 11 2012's

 

3 box dimes - 3 silver dimes
1.5 box quarters - 1 1964 quarter
$50 of halves - skunk

 

Box of nickels: The only thing worth mentioning is a '39 S. It filled a hole in my folder.
