Roll-searchers, post your results!

Interesting. I've never seen a box of halves with holes.

I wish I had never seen a box of halves with holes! I have searched plenty of those boxes to know better than to open it. Have you seen any other coin boxes with holes?

 

I get cent boxes that have holes in them on occasion. I've also seen nickels and dimes. Never had any better/worse luck with one over the other.

 

10 more rolls down from the current box.
Maybe almost 50 copper. MAYBE 8 to 10 or 12 that have a chance. Definitely not as good as past boxes have been.

 

$25.50 CWR Cents: 10 wheats and 577 coppers

$200 CWR Nickels: 1920 buffalo and 70 various run of the mill coins dated 39-59

$610 CWR Dimes: 48, 57, 64 Roosies

$470 CWR Halves: Skunk. Opened an account at a new bank that's on my way home from and asked about halves while making an initial deposit with them. After confirming that'd I'd take all the teller had, she mentioned that someone had order a box the week before and then brought these back. *facepalm* I politely took them off her hands and directly to my dump bank. I'm going to make a couple more passes here before deciding if this needs to be a deposit location instead.

 

Where I live, half dollar boxes with holes on the bottom are NF String wrapped MWRs and never have silver. And I do mean never! I don’t buy them anymore.

 

I can’t speak for halves but can vouch for the fact that boxes with holes of dimes NEVER give silver. And they do have the mf string wrappers. But ordinary Loomis rolls do certainly produce.

 

Thank you Berto. I haven’t searched dime boxes by NF String. But, it doesn’t surprise me they never have silvers. Somebody posted here once that NF String sells silver coins on their website. Conclusion - They have the ability to extract silver coins and are doing so, at least in my neck of the woods.

 

I have found silver in String Rolls, and after a fairly brief scan of their site, it doesn’t appear they sell silver coins, or any coins for that matter.

 

Yes, boxes look just like that. Until recently I have had a fairly good run, now forty boxes later I have found only 1 silver. I looked at my spread sheet it will be a month on Tuesday since my last significant finds.

I am thinking something has change at Loomis, either they are sorting, or I'm just repeating coins now. Ordered four Brinks boxes for this next week. Last 32 boxes have not have a number printed on the box. I'll take box picture next week.

What is printed on the wrappers? Can you take a picture?

 

I don't want to open the box because when I do I can no longer exchange it for another box. The wrappers look like this nickel wrapper but say halves on it and is yellow. I will look around tomorrow snd see if I could find a left over wrapper. Sam what numbers have you seen on your boxes? Does my number from my earlier post match to what you have searched?

 

I can find silver only in nickel rolls but for every thing else I have searched hundreds of boxes and to no avail.

 

NF String can provide coin rolling services or just the wrappers according to their website. Maybe you are finding silver in NF String wrappers they provided to another coin rolling processor.
I found the thread where the OP said he purchased silver coins from NF String.

I got off work early today and stopped at 8 banks:

37 Ikes, nothing of note
$27.50 loose halves, nothing
$100 MWR halves, nothing
$500 box halves, 1 40% (ender) and 3, 82P no FG in AU/BU condition

I’m satisfied with the box.

This $500 box was the leftover box from the bank where I picked up the other $500 box (in 2 trips) earlier this week and found a total of 20 silvers. I had to sweet talk the head teller so she would agree to sell me tonight’s box. Tonight’s box had at least 450 marked coins, ugh!

I ordered 2 boxes from this bank, but it’ll be 2 Mondays until they arrive...patience is a virtue.

 

@NLL some of my best boxes of halves have been the holed variety with yellow NF string wrappers. Both in my home city and other cities in 2 different states.

Recently local Loomis changed to the double-stacked boxes without holes and these double-stacked boxes contain green Loomis wrappers. I’m still finding an occasional silver half.

I dreamed of seeing a cash drawer with mixed large and small dollars. Was trying to get to look at them when the dream ended. Going to do as many as 20 rolls after work today.

 

It's because NF. String searches their rolls.

 

I believe newer coin courier facilities have counting/rolling machines that remove silver coins. Thankfully, I don’t live in an area near one of these new facilities.

It’s a good sign when one finds foreign or bent coins in MWRs because these trashy coins indicate older equipment that does not sort out silver.

 

How recently and was Colorado one of those states?

 

I had almost 100 copper out of the current box.
A few got to maybe upper 5 level. A LOT are going back to the wild. Finding fair numbers of really clean 200x pennies.
30 rolls down. 20 to go. Gonna do a minimum of 10 tomorrow.
