Great find! If you don't mind me asking, what did the wrapper look like?

 

Holy moly!

 

I mentioned this in an earlier post but had no picture. On Friday night my girlfriend got 3 boxes of halves that she ordered from three different banks. Box 1 had 41 40%ers. Box 2 skunk. Box 3 36 40%ers. First, we wondered why all 40%. Then we asked how she could get so much in those two boxes when she was averaging 1 coin per box and was about to give up. I noticed someone else just got over 200 silvers in two boxes. What are your theories on how this happens with Loomis Machine Rolls? This is crazy.

 

50 cent wheat penny roll. Around 45 of the pennies were from the teens and twenties. I had 1 1909 vdb and a 1909 regular penny. The other 3 were from the 40's, including a 1943 steel penny! Not bad since I paid $2.50 for the whole roll.

 

someone tells them "only the 64 are silver" or they look at the side and see clad and assume its not silver. or who knows??? They just get tired of looking at them and dump them. ??????

 

The 40% is not the main question. How does this many silvers happen in machine rolls? I can see it happening in CWR.

 

This is from 1 box of pennies that i just decided to open today

 

Congrats! That's an epic haul!

 

Can someone please post a list of coins I need to start looking for ? I'm kinda new at this. Ty all and GOD BLESS THE USA and our Service People past and present

 

I'd say she is a keeper - a regular silver magnet.

$350 in CWR dimes -
1 Jamaican $1 coin, a little seven sided coin.
No silver

$100 in CWR nickels
1 Dateless but D mintmarked Buffer
2 1939
16 '40s dates

$80 in CWR cents
1 1918
1 1920
1 1928
1 1937
1 '40-S
15 40s and 50s wheats
1 Canadian 1968 cent with a minor clip
9 dimes
1 Bahamas mini cent 2014
1 Germany 5 pf 1988F
1 Peru 10 centimos 1986
6, yes 6 British pennies from the 1990s and 2000s.

And now I have another $40 in CWR cents to go through later.

 

Very good haul, My last was 4 40%ers out of $760. Bank had $240 worth missing out of my 2 box order? Hmmmmmm

 

Which one of you has such a big proof collection that you started using them as cash? Too bad it's well circulated. Still a keeper.

 

I didn't have time to go through them all in detail yet, but set everything aside so I can put it under magnification. More than a couple of them destined for flips instead if tubed and stored with the "junk" for sure.

Agree. I hope I've educated the people who will be here after me to the real value in coins and PM... but in the end that'll be on them.

They're all in pretty circulated condition. I'm not a grader by any stretch though. I'll try to remember to snap a pic when I get them out to really look through.

Thanks. It was a standard green striped modern wrapper. I'm use to being fooled by "old looking" wrappers, but this one came as a surprise.

 

Found a really beat up 1972 Proof Jefferson Nickel.

 

Read the FAQ. It's a sticky.

 

Love it! Wonder if it came from the same set as my 1972-s quarter...

 

That would be uncanny!

 

10 cwr of nickels...
3 pre '50 (39, 40, and 47)
1 war '45S
1 Canada
1 Bermuda

 

WHOOP> WHOOP! Awesome BMan! your ship finally came in. Like we talked its a number game. Eventually you'll hit someone dumping a parents or grandparents collection kept in a show box in the closet. Loomis doesn't sort for silver, so you just found a silver load from someone turning in a lot of silver at a branch, it went straight to a sealed bag and sent to Loomis for sorting. the more tellers I ask the more stories I hear, where a older lady brings in her husbands collection and tellers aren't allowed to purchase coinage, or it was already bagged and thus the seal can't be broken. Now you know your girl has the silver bug after those finds. I on the other hand have drained the Loomis swamp and got four skunks today. so strategy switch time, if the remaining 12 boxes this week are all skunks.
