    Well, I'm having some good luck. Yesterday I see that HelloftheNorth has posted a picture of a box of dimes with his first Merc ender. Today I get a box of dimes, open the lid, and see MY first Merc ender:

    Actually, I prefer to find my Mercs inside: note the really bad crimp mark scrapes on this 1945 dime. I was debating opening the Merc ender first or saving it for last. I decided to open it first, and I saw this:

    Look carefully! There are 4 silver coins in this roll! The 45 Merc ender above, 2 Roosies, and a 42-D Merc too! What a way to start a day! I had dreams of 4 silver dimes in each roll in the box. Unfortunately, there were only four more silver dimes in the whole box. Still, 8 silver (two Mercs) is a great box!

    To finish the day I found 2 more silver dimes, a silver 10 centavos piece from the Philippines, two 1964 half dollars and fifteen 40% half dollars.

    So, as some of you may know, I work at a bank about 30 hours a week (reduced starting next week to 25 hrs/wk due to labor laws and school). Well, today we had a commercial client come in with several WATER COOLERS full of coin to be counted. Coming in at noon, I managed to draw the short straw (as they reckoned it) and got to run it all. Our coin machine is rather small, and coin has to be moved by hand to the counter, allowing the coins to be more or less pre-searched.

    Results:
    8 Wheaties
    1945 P Nickel
    25 Franc
    4 Canadian pennies
    1 Canadian dime
    1 Mexican dollar
    Euro 2 cent coin

    Another deposit contained a $5 bill from 1934 with a burn hole in the top left corner. Pics possibly to come tomorrow if I can figure out how to get my scanner to make a .jpeg

    Lots of driving around today, hit up about 30 banks. Didn't do great, didn't do awful. I'll take it!

    Box of halves: Nothing
    $400 CWR halves: Six 40%
    $87 loose halves: Two 64's
    $34 loose Ikes: Nothing of interest

    And did someone mention hockey?

    Box halves 1 - skunk
    box 2 - 4 x 40% solid
    That new supplier came through, too bad they are not dependable and make it seem like a job ordering coin. Reaching out to another branch for more

    Busted through the CWR of everything but cents, only one war nick to show for it, ugh. Brutal, this bank used to produce silver regularly from the CWR's. At least the tellers are still cute, lol. Also picked up $500ish in CWR halves, all skunks. Scored a 40% from a tray, a nice UNC '67.

    I did pick up $35 in ikes today, found an AU '72 T2. More for the hoard....

    The worst fans I have been heckled by are Rangers fans when I have going to Madison Square Garden a few time. Haven't' been to a game in Philly, but I know Bruins fans are no better. And yes roll hunting is awesome.

    The only time I almost got into it at a game was a Canes-Bruins game in Raleigh. I had this Bruins fan mouthing off in the parking lot after we whooped them. It was my roommate, and after I got back to the car I beat the crap out of him all the way to the house!

    Hockey is generally a sport followed by educated white males... the same general demographic that collects coins. :)

    Both boxes of halves done, 1 40%er. Meh. Should have my first weekly orders coming in tomorrow and might take a little road trip while I'm at it.

    That is crazy finding 3 in silver quarters in one box. I have not even found 1 period. I have about 2 rolls of silver quarters and I had to buy them all from my LCS.
