Just picked up 2 boxes of nickels and 1 box of pennies. I'll keep you all posted. Hopefully I will hit something good!

 

Drove around my town and could only find tellers with $25.50 in loose halves however one was a 1968! Got 3 clad Ikes too.

Also went to my local flea market and grabbed 22 mercury dimes for only $40. 1916, 1917 s, 1920, 1920 s, 1923, 2 1924, 1924 s, 1925, 1925 s, 1926, 1926 d, 1927 d, 1927 s, 1928, 1928 d, 1930 s, 1934, 1935 s, 1935 d, 1936 d.

$2.42 at current melt for a dime at $1.81 a piece, can't say no to that.

 

What flea mahket was that? I went to the one in Salem, NH earlier this summer and there DEFINITELY weren't any coins to be found!

oh wait, is it one of those "if I told ya, I'd hafta kill ya" ones?

 

Four boxes of dimes I picked up last night...

1 - skunk
2 - 1 merc, 2 roosies
3 - skunk
4 - 1 merc, 3 roosies.

Hmm, I'll take it.

Box Q's - skunk on silver
Box D's - roosie and a Merc
$3.00 loose halves skunk
$22.00 in loose Ike's 1 x 40% nice

Friday's pull:

box of halves - chicken scratch
box 1 dimes - '57D
box 2 dimes - '46, '57D, '64D

Went to a yahd sale today that was advertised on CL as having coin collections. Turns out the dude was just getting ready to open a coin store in the downtown area of that suburb. After all this CRH I'm finding it very difficult to pull the trigger on a real purchase, such as the Morgans and Peace dollars that he had. I ended up buying a ziplock bag half filled with foreign coins for $30. I know it was a huge roll of the dice on actually getting any silver or coming near breaking even, but I figure I'll chock it up to an afternoon of entertaining research. If anything really cool comes of it, I'll be sure to post.

 

Pm me! I collect foriegn coins!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:yes::yes::yes::yes::yes::yes::yes::yes::yes::yes::yes::yes::yes::yes::yes::yes::yes::yes::yes::yes::yes::yes::yes::yes:

 

Any day with a silver dollar is a good day, buddy. Sucks about the supply bank, but you'll find another... maybe try PNC? I'd max out at 4 boxes per bank.

 

Do any of you guys trade silver for wheat or copper pennies? Obviously silver is a better coin, however I have some wheats and pre 1982 copper pennies that I have for trade. If anyone is interested PM me.

 

You can always PM people yourself instead of spamming the thread with "PM me!" posts... also, the 14 ! marks were unneccessary, as were the 24 smiley faces.

 

Still looking for some 2012 d lincolns..finally found one!! woohoo..hehe..

 

oh boy..got two older jeff's 52 and 54..hehehe

 

Holy cow

Just found a 1939D Nickel in a CWR, one of the last ones I need for my album! Only 2 holes I have left are 50D and 43D, I'm starting to think I can definitely at least find the 43D this year.

Also found a 1976S proof 40% silver 1976 quarter in the reject tube today. Full results in a bit once I finishing opening boxes

 

Finally was able to do my first crh of halves as a local bank had $400 worth of rolls. It was fun to search but the rolls were not only previously searched but appeared to have been organized and re-rolled by year. I found two rolls with nothing but 1976 halves. I was really hoping to get lucky and find at least one coin worth adding to my new collection out of 800 but no luck.

 

If they're already sorted by year then I'd check for errors/varieties if you haven't already done so.

 

I already took them back to another bank. Some of the wrappers were marked so I didn't think it was worth the time to closely check each coin. I think I may stick to penny rolls since wheaties seem to be easier to find keeping the thrill of the hunt so I don't get discouraged.

 

Todays results:

$5 Pennies: 78 copper, 1945S

$16 Nickles: 1946D, 1946P.

$25 Dimes: Skunk.

$300 Quarters: Skunk.

$10 Half Dollars: Skunk. Thinking about getting a box one of these days.

 

Got 2.50 in penny's from trader joes, (local grocery store) from the change from Starbucks, saving them 4 later tonight b/c tommorow is the coin show, keep ya posted
