Scottish money can you please post the thickness of your flying eagle cent compared to a regular cent. I tried looking for it online and can't find it. I would appreciate it and thanks for your time.

Don't give up. I picked up $175 worth if Ikes this morning from a bank I had asked about Ikes at a dozen times before with no results.

It had been 2 years since I had found this large of a quantity at one bank.

Ikes are not rare, but they are sought after, so they're somewhat difficult to come by.

I bought a used Dansco a year ago for $5. Its the album for Ikes, so I'm trying to fill it. It won't be worth any more than what I paid for it plus the Ikes inside it when I'm done, but I thought my son would enjoy helping me sort through the coins and fill the album.

 

Nice one Berto! I like finding Ikes. They're always a conversation piece. Nice big coins.

 

Box of Halves: No silver. 1 1978 Hong Kong $5 dollar coin; 4 NIFC; 1980S

All in all crap. Going back into retirement. Going to hang onto the $499.50 for a little non bank savings.

 

Nooo! You are the best at hitting the jack pot. Give it 1 more try.

 

I know I said it was a pitiful picture but I decided to post it due to the possibility. Sorry for getting back so late. This pic of the coin is looking into it maybe being a 1914d.

 

Any thoughts is appreciated.

 

perhaps rotate the picture

 

Excellent suggestion.

 

Had to make a deposit to my bank, the teller knows I like searching rolls and said she had a box of cents that obviously had some wheat in it because she could see them through the holes in the box. So she talked me into buying it.




Wowzerbunga!


Open up the box and see this:



Sure enough there are wheats in this, but what is really really really kewl is the 1911 peeking out of the second roll from the right in the second roll from the top. I'm getting anxious about opening up these rolls...



So this is what the haul looked like when I was done, there were 8, yes, 8 cents that were 100+ years old



So here is the breakdown:

1911 - 2
1912 - 1
1914 - 1
1915 - 1
1915D- 1
1916 - 1
1917 - 5
1917S - 1
1918 - 8
1919 - 6
1919S - 5
1920 - 6
1921 - 3
1923 - 3
1924 - 3
1925 - 3
1926 - 3
1927 - 2
1928 - 3
1929 - 3
1930 - 1
1931 - 2
1933 - 1
1934 - 4
1935 - 2
1936 - 3
1937 - 6
1939 - 1
1940 - 12
1940D - 1
1940S - 1

Asst 1940s and 1950s common dates - 57

1968-74S - 2

All in all the best cent box I have had in awhile. Nice to have a bank teller that looks out for me!

 

That's for sure. They are worth their weight in, well, copper and silver. : ) Nurture those relationships!
Really awesome finds. !!

 

I found this 2001 (polish die error?) It looks like it has been cleaned though or it is a after mint renegade. What do the experts think? Oh yeah
1987d RPM
1970 s Lrg date.
2006 earlobe

 

This week the 55 too. People around here keep change in jugs jars etc I offered to coinstar it without the fee. Give em cash.

 

Two boxes halves: three 40%: 1965, 1968-D, 1968-S; four more proofs: 1972-S, 1976-S, 1978-S, 1981-S; and a 1940 British one penny.

 

I'm kind of thinking I should try putting British pennies in a coin machine to see if it will work. Obviously they work somewhere as halves.

 

It's exactly the size of a half dollar.

 

The 2001 is a greased die, yes an error

 

Here is my weeks finds, first my two banks that order from Loomis for me screwed me, they both forgot to order. Bummer, because I was hoping to catch either the front or back end of the finds from last week, hoping no one had pulled them. Oh well. So no Loomis box searches this week. Every thing was teller, Coin Machine bags or CWR

Here goes (Kennedy Halfs)
Teller Tray
1-1964
Coin Machine Bag (first and last time, other branches of same bank said they were not allowed to do that)
12- 1965-1969
1- 1976s
9-1992s,9-1994s, 9-1995s,7-1996s,9-1998s,3-1999s,11-200s, 8-2002s, 1-2006s (all PF clads, no silver)
CWR
6-1966-1969
1- 1970D

A lot more work than I wanted but the finds were pretty cool. Unfortunately someone dumped the S PFs into the coin machine so they now have some imperfections. I guess I'll keep the best and ? The rest. If anyone is interested in filling a hole with less than perfect San Fran mint Kennedys let me know.

 

What a great score! It sound like you hit the jackpot!

 

nice! a boat load of s-PF, wow. and that 1970 is a nice one. Don't see those very often.
