Attention all nickel roll hunters !!!!

If you find a 1942-d in your searches, keep in mind that its my birthday in july and that i need a 1942d for my collection. Thank you likely :d

 

I found a 1942D yesterday during my search of a box of nickels. Do you want it?

 

1 loose half - skunk

 

One 63' roosie in a machine reject slot. Got to love finding silver with no effort at all. :smile

 

Picked up two rolls of halves yesterday and got a 40% one! First silver find this year (it hasn't been a good year...lol).

 

Nice.....good luck with your hunt the rest of the year!

 

Tally for my 8 boxes of cents:
102 wheats (oldest 1917p)
1972 DDO #2
1998 WAM x2
2000 WAM x2
1964d clipped planchet

First 2013p cent

 

Box of Pennies: Only about 10 wheats--oldest 1918--and probably several hundred in copper. Gotta comedown from the mountain at some point.......

 

I havent did any roll hunting in a while. But the other day my favorate small town teller hooked me up with this pile of goodness. Ok to be honest that teller is my wife just some stuff she has found over the years and brought home to me the other day.

 

Nice bluemastiff

 

Box of nickels: 22 pre 1960, 1 2009, 2001 panama coin.
100 dollars quarters: skunk.

 

Picked up $3K from my various sources and dumped them. Then I happened to stop by a WF and the teller told me that he had $5K in halves that somebody ordered but never picked up. I don’t have an account with them, but they obviously wanted to unload the boxes so I snatched them up, along with $3K of halves from my other sources. Here’s the numbers:
Box #60 of Halves: 2-40% (1 Bicentennial Proof!)
Box #61 of Halves: 1-40%
Box #62 of Halves: Skunk
Box #63 of Halves: 2-40%, 1-90%
Box #64 of Halves: Skunk
Box #65…
Ah Heck! Only 12-40% and 1-90% in the whole 22 boxes searched! Ugh! What a lousy return. This month’s average finds have quickly approached last month’s dismal numbers with this last poor run with only 1.136 40%/box and .358 90%/box.
I am only 2 skunk boxes away from my all-time 20 box moving average LOW.
But on the brighter side, this is a record number of boxes searched for the month! 81 boxes so far and still 2 days to search! And I guess I could celebrate that my skunk streak of 8 boxes hasn’t been beaten.
Did find some nice proofs and my second Atlanta Olympic Commemorative Half.

 

April 29th 2013

Saturday, I pushed my oldest nickel found back to 1884. But no silver.

Today I visited 4 banks. The third had $100 in halves in the vault plus $6 lose in trays. I bought them all. On the way out, the teller said there were "a lot of like 67's in the rolls." I was skeptical because all the wrappers were the same and they did not look all that old. I figured it was somebody's dump.

But when I got to the car, I found out she was right! 2 1964's, 2 1966's, 11 1967's, 13 1968's and 3 1969's! That is 31 silver coins and just over 5 ounces of silver.

Here they are, stacked in order, with the 2 64's in front:

 

Mon searches:

$280 Loomis MWR halves: skunk
$360 Loomis MWR dimes: 1 Roosie, 2 Canadians

Having good luck with the Canadian dimes I've been finding lately. After a '68 50%er the other day, today one of my Canadian dimes was a '59 80%er. Pretty good eh?

 

Box of halfs skunked
I just sitting here waiting for tomarrow's box and fx with my new metal detector I can't wait to fine some free lost silver

 

Box of halves skunk
Box of nickels: 42s and a 2011 with a counter stamp on each side
Obverse says " Ron Paul 2012" and reverse says "end the Fed".....funniest looking coin I've in a while.

 

Stop #6 East Stroudsburg, PA box of nickels:

39 x 2, 40, 41 x 2

Final stop tomorrow in Wilkes Barre

 

$40 CWR nickels - no good keepers, except for a 60 Canadian

 

The second half. $67+ worth.

I only did a quick sort for wheats and canadians so far, but the rest pretty much looks like the first half of the lot.

37 wheats including: 18, 20d or s (really bad shape), 28,30, 36. The rest common 40s/50s.
20 canadians: 16 pre-96, 4 steels
