Roll-searchers, post your results!

I used to collect football and baseball cards and pay hundreds of dollars to buy packs of worthless cards that fill up shoebox after shoebox. Then I started to collect coins and started to search rolls. I go to the bank pay 25 dollars for 25 dollars of pennys. I do not loose money even if the roll has nothing good I still have the face value. Buy a pack of cards and the pack sucks....your out at least 3 bucks and you have 7 crumby cards. An extreamly cheap and easy hobby to pass the time away.

Exactly GypsyTears!!!!

My 3rd bank that orders halves for me messed up their order so I have no halves to search until Friday.

I did get $7 worth of halves from a different bank that were loose, with no luck. I also searched 4 rolls of nickels......1 41 and 1 53.

10 Rolls of Cents and got ONE wheat.....no 2009s......a very, very weak box.

I'll be back at it tomorrow!!

 

I found a silver canadian quarter at work today but then stupidly fed it into the coin counting machine at the bank :headbang:

 

The other day i got a roll of kenedy halfs and found 4 silver ones. I went back the next day and got some more rolls but didn't have any luck.

 

Thanks.
Searched another box of halves today from a different bank:
1943-D walker
9 1964
10 40%ers
3 proofs including my third 1986 s Statue of Liberty!

 

Question for half dollar searchers

To all of you who roll search for halves:
Do you keep 2002 and later Kennedies? I know they weren't issued for circulation, but i'm finding quite a few and am wondering peoples' thoughts on whether or not they'd keep them?
Thanks,
Dano

 

Wow Dano, you are getting great, great finds. I'd love to find a commemorative!!!!

I am keeping the post 2002 ones because my 15 year old is putting together a folder collection of circulated ones....

 

I'd keep them, especially if they are toned like this one I found in a roll

 

$430 in halves 5-40%

 

nice finds

 

Another $350 in halves, all hand rolled and a few were marked so I didn't expect to find anything

1-64
1-40%

Total finds from $3650 in halves

40-40%
5-64
1 1918 walker

Still not a single Franklin though
Off to get some more...

 

Went to my local dry cleaner store and offered to buy all her pennies as they are never used. Ask her to roll them for me (I provided the wrappers). Came up to be $9.00. Found 1910-P AG, 1913-S F, 1929-P F, and 3 1958-D's. Love the 1913-S.

 

How much face value for a box of halves? Lady at a local bank said she would order me a box but didn't know how much they were, but that I would have to take the whole box.

 

$500... and they are heavy

 

Found half dollar blank in roll

 

today i got a 1937 bufflao nickel in better good shape

 

3X 72 Ike
74D Ike
77D Ike
2X American Samoa
1X 09 sackie
1X 42 canadian cent from take a penny tray
and 53D half. As the teller was counting out the halves, this was on top. She was like ooohh that ones old. Then another teller came over and said I think its pure silver, it is. My heart dropped as they picked it out of the pile. But then they looked at it and put it back in the pile! YAY

 

Nice finds! Was the teller holding them for you?

 

Thanks. No, I went to a new area I was thinking about. Never been there before.

 

Y'all wish me luck I am gonna try some halves tomorrow for the first time the bank is supposed to have some. I will post the results good or bad, I am going blind looking at all those little pennies. kent
