Roll-searchers, post your results!

That's a good idea. Now I just need to upgrade from whitman books. I'm not sure how to spell it so please don't be mean about it.

OK so got to my favorite bank today. About once a month I get the bag of halves off the counting machine. machine said $112.50 which is what I gave the teller for it. Actual count $109.50. break down:
1 90% 64
3 40% (2 68D, 1 67)
$89 clean (I will circulate those)
$14 damaged, grunged or marked (rolled to go back to deposit bank)
$3.50 really nice common dates BU62 or better
$ .50 NIFC 2010-D
$ .50 gold plated (I think they are silly. what a waste of gold and effort)

****1 Australia florin 1942. they are sterling silver (.925 fine)****
1 British Large Penny 1917
1 50 Pence 1997
one Lira not sure what country yet.
1 peso 1975
1 5 Kroner Danmark (Denmark)

3 rolled cents (2 San Diego Zoo, one Sea World)
one rolled quarter (just flat)
1 golf token
1 guitar pick

$4.09 in quarters, dimes and cents mostly mangled by the counter machine

all and all interesting and the Australian silver was a really nice bonus. The odd change made up the short on the face value of the halves. and caught some nice silver too.

 

Lira should be Italy. Can you post a pic of the coin and I can tell you if it is.

 

Just finished off another box of cents, 14 wheats, incl. 3 hole fillers, 1918, 1929S, and 1954D

 

1 box of cents and nickels. Cents had 6 wheats. 3 from 1955. 2 had d mint marks. One of them is in good shape. Nickels had a 1945 d and a 1956 no mint mark nickel in graet shape.

 

The 1945 d nickel is a hole filler.

 

pretty sure it is not Italy, there are a few others that use the Lira, I'm woring on it

 

Actually the stylish L that I took for a Lira was for a Pound. Its Irish, one pound, 1998. Very interesting rim that has three layers to it the top and botem but the middle is dot space bar space . | . | . | . | where the dot is in the center (higher than the period) kina kewl

Ok. Well that was a guess. Can you post a pic.

Thanks.

 

Yes. Just normal silver coins. Dates from 1959-1964. No Barbers.

 

A bunch of nice stuff in there. Congrats! I don't care for the gold plated coins either.

 

2 cwr of halves... nothing.

 

Other than a 79-S Impaired Proof nickel, nothing too exciting about today's batch of 2360 coins (200 quarters, 200 halves, 1360 nickels, 400 cents). When your best pre-60 nickel find is a 1955-D, you know it wasn't your day. LOL. I had found either silver coin or a Buffalo nickel five straight searching days until today. Time to start a new streak tomorrow!!!

 

Just searched two Loomis boxes. Nothing over the last 10 boxes except for some nice proofs and NIFCs. Today was a different story, first box there were 6-40s 1965-1968. I was happy for anything, box two though was the honey pot though. 29- 40s 1966-1969 and 1-90 1964. One roll as a double ender, couple rolls had multiple silvers, one had five!

Silver distributed equally in rolls so I wonder if here are more in other boxes in that run for Loomis. Makes me wish I had ordered more so they were pulled from the same sorting lot. Oh well, hope the next searcher gets lucky.

Totals:
35- 1965-1969
1- 1964
1- 2015-D

Best Loomis search in a year for me. Noted box inspection number of 6206.

 

very nice! 35 40%. great run

 

This one fooled me!



1977-D. Not a rare silver planchet, the rest of the edge is clearly copper clad. But for a moment... !
