Well, that was a nice haul! Two boxes of nickels yielded 60 pre-1960, including two silvers, and two hole fillers for me, 1954-S and 1939-S. I'm really stoked about the 1939-S! I also found a 1969 20 rappen from Switzerland, a 2007 50 lipa from Croatia, 2 dimes, and a penny.

 

Well I bought $50 in cents $200 nickels and $250 dimes from a local bank that rolls their own coins rather than buying them from the armored service so I consider them all customer wrapped in a way. Here's most of the results.

I never will forget the first Bahamas star fish cent we found. It was 09 and my nephew was 7 I had surgery and was off work so he stayed with me a lot and I had seen the new lincolns so I figured we would start roll searching something I never done before then. We were both having fun finding a few wheats and tons of the new 09 design when a MS grade toned star fish fell out it was pretty cool. Since then we've found several different foreigns other than Canada but that one will always have a spot in my 2x2 album of FIR coins.

 

MKent, not too bad? That sounds outstanding to me! Here I was all excited about my 60 pre-1960 nickels, and then you go and post that awesome haul from the same amount of nickels. Well done!

 

I also filled 6 holes in my found in rolls jefferson folder so that was real cool. My eyes aren't too good so I have a hard time with rpm's and other stuff even with magnification I give out too easy. Maybe when the grand babies get older they will check em for me or I can teach my nephew what to look for. In the mean time though I have fun and when I find a 39D, 43D, 49S, and 50D I will start on another one. I'm keeping everything before 1964 so I'm not going to start from scratch. Just curious has anyone found any of these searching rolls? I could buy em cheap enough but wheres the fun in that. Besides when I buy a Jeff it's Gem Bu for the Dansco I'm working on.

 

Hi, I'm new here and was trying to post a pic of odd finds from this week for input and info but how do you upload a pic????? I tried. Am I missing something?

 

It's been a couple of years since I've searched boxes. I ordered a box of dimes and halves from my bank. They no longer get h.e. String rolls but loomis rolls. I found one 40% half and one 90% dime. Not sure it's worth it yet.

I only hope to find something like that. I've never even found a WAM congrats

Didn't have time to go through my box of cents yet this week. That'll probably keep me occupied this afternoon while everyone else has Super Bowl on the brain.

 

Three boxes Loomis halves:
Box 1---Zip
Box 2---3 40%, one Benny, a 1952-D
Box 3---1986-D Liberty clad

 

Looking for 1998-200 WAM's. Do you know how hard it is to find any pennies without a "D" on them in Seattle? In the last 3000 cents I've looked at there were 3 1998-P, no 1999-P, and no 2000 P's.
Maybe I'll start looking for something else.

 

$1000 twos - 29x 1976, 2x 1963, 2x 1953
$500 quarters - 6x 1976

 

Here on the east cost, newer "D" coins are far less common. You see a few, but it'll take awhile before the 2014-D's make it eastward. Out of curiosity, how often do you find "S" coins on the west coast? When I lived in SF I wasn't really into coins, but I did notice a few more older "S" pennies in my change.

 

Quite a few 1969-S cents, a lot fewer from the 70's.
