    One box of halves on my lunch today, and then 6 tomorrow since I'm off... including 2 boxes from my best bank that has produced all of my great boxes... c'mon, daddy needs some silver.

    Think I'm gonna sell some 40% to cover some expenses, too. Namely, bags to dump coin in.

    Looks MS to me. '50's nickels, especially from San Fran, were known for crap strikes.

    Box of halves; skunk. Might have two tonight, we'll see...

    Got a box yesterday and found a 64, 66, and a wickedly toned 1968 plus my very first 1970 EVER. And it's a proof! Very jazzed about that.

    Today I found no silver but found the best off center half I've ever seen in roll searching. I'm sure there are better ones out there, but this is the best I've ever seen.

    Nice, that would be a definite keeper for me, I haven't seen one that O/C either... to be clear, it is O/C and not just a misaligned obverse die, right? Either way, still a keeper.

    Yeah I find minor off center stuff (usually Nickels) but yours is definitely a lot better than any I've ever seen in circulation. Actually VACookey, with the amount of halves you sort I'm kinda surprised you look at all the dates. My volume is typically much lower and I usually just edge/sound check halves.

    In unrelated news, I seem to be on another ender bender (teehee). Got a Roosie ender yesterday, as well as a 40% ender that had 3 others in the roll. Today I opened a box of nickels and saw a Buffalo ender staring back at me. I checked the other side... and there was another Buffalo! Those were the only 2 in the roll, but yay for double enders:

    I just got a double walking liberty ender a few weeks ago too, so finding another double ender is absolutely crazy.

    I'm going back to florida again tomorrow so I don't know if/when I'll be able to roll search, but my September has already been pretty nice. My last trip to FL yielded my first proof silver half and a CWR with 6 mercury dimes, so maybe I'll luck out enough to really beef up my numbers before October.

    Still hoping my grandma will finally give me my grandfather's silver quarter collection, too. He's got a few franklin mint or some other kind of commemorative silver rounds, and my grandmother told me she had a gold quarter eagle laying around somewhere. I'm sure I'll get the coins eventually but she likes to dole them out slowly to encourage more visits to see her, lol
