Roll-searchers, post your results!

Find of the day was definitely this 1920 Philly buffalo. Pretty wiped (and sorry for the phone pic) but the date is clear under the eyepiece.

I haven’t posted in awhile due to being on vacation and searching 5 skunk boxes in a row. Not even a 1974-D DDO to ease the pain, although I am now primarily edge checking which may explain that. While traveling, I was able to dump $2000 of searched halves out of my region. My 6th box had the following:

1962-D Franklin
1965
1967
1968-D

I don’t know how many boxes I have waiting for me due to being gone last week, plus this week’s order. Probably around 4-5. HH everyone!

 

Ok, I opened these and then put them back for show and tell. Guess what happened?

 

I bet there were 40%ers in them.

 

27 of them were!

 

In this day and age there are still people that don't know about 40% coins!

 

Got a roll of quarters from the bank today. Went to the same teller that had the toned nickels I got awhile back. Today I got. A roll of bicentennials that are also toned. Part of the same collection dump as the nickels

 

Decided to give my dump banks a rest, so I have started using the Coinstar machines. I found out that you can get gift vouchers for full value of your coins instead of a cash voucher. They have them for Starbucks, Lowes, Home Depot, Applebees and others.....Every year at Xmas I buy a years worth of Christmas Blend from Starbucks.....And will buy additions to my Christmas Yard Display from H.Depot or Lowes, so it works out well for me and I don't have to run up the Credit Cards at Christmas. So far I have only gotten STARBUCKS since the Voucher balance can be transferred onto a registered Gift card. So right now I have close to $400 on my Starbucks card LOL! Below is a picture of my Xmas Yard Display, so you can see where the other vouchers will be going!

2014S Business Strike ARches

 

Can't believe you found that business strike. Very nice!

 

Bought 4 rolls of pennies tonight just for fun. Found 2. 2009 Lincoln’s life pennies a 1958 Wheaton and a 1970 S. Also found some 1982’s and 1998-2000 which I have saved to check later.

 

6 half dollar boxes searched this week: 1964, 1964-d, 4 x 40%ers. Not a skunk week, but not a barn burner either. Oh well, there's always next week. I did catalog some loose foreign coins and now have 52 different countries in my Foreign Album. Many more loose coins to go, so that number will grow. They're a good diversion for me when halves are slow.

 

I got 10 rolls of quarters to try and find my first "W" coin. No luck finding one yet but have lots of 2019D's. I did find a 1941 silver quarter in very worn condition, a 1970D that is in really nice shape and a 2013S quarter.

I went thru my weekly half dollar box, no silver, But I did get 2 NIFC's and a 1988 - 1 Piso/Peso coin slightly smaller that our half dollar.

 

I’m at a hotel in a coastal fishing town in the middle of nowhere this week. I went to the front desk and asked for $3 worth of quarters for the hotel laundromat, and 1 of the quarters was a 2012 S Cu-Ni clad proof. I don’t search quarters, but I thought this was remarkable.

 

@tmeyer @berto Cool finds for the both of you! I love finding S coins.....Proof or Business.
I went back through a roll of pre 1982 pennies I had searched and set aside. Found Another 1970 S that I had missed during my first search.

 

I've found 3 or 4 of the business strike "S"s in the last few months. Pretty surprised, myself.

 

Made my monthly trip to the neighboring town where I picked up a bunch of half dollars:
3 x Brinks boxes (checked - no enders)
2 x partial bags off of coin counters ($610 & $43)
$410 loose Brinks MWR rolls
$120.50 loose
I also got 4 Ike’s, 1 was a 1976-D Type I (bold reverse font). I did see some silvers in both partial bags. Results will be forthcoming soon!

 

Unwrapped 2 boxes of 2019P cents. 4,999 2019P and 1 single 1992P. Very random.
