Post those in the error forum for some experts to look at them. To me, the 22 is so worn it would be hard to call it a no D, but what do I know? The no date is strange....I mean there is no trace of a date that I can see. How interesting.

 

How about pocket change? Anyone ever get change back in something silver or get change at your job in silver?

Ive had two silver dimes and one silver quarter handed to me as change to pay for something 1$ or less (I chuckled to myself knowing that I would have accepted only the dime or quarter for this item)
Also was going though the airport about a month ago and bought a smoothie. I was delighted to find a silver dime in my change.

 

I know.. That no date.. I looked with my old eyes.. (41 LOL) And can see no Date Maybe a slight 4 .so 1940's??. no trace of wear on the spot..
And the 22 is Bad.. oh so so Bad.... Shame...
I like the "God We Thu" Grease out..

 

I decided I'm only going to search through boxes of pennies. I'm already up to 550+ wheats. I hate not finding coins when I search.

 

That is an advantage of searching cents. I usually find a nicely struck 1960's cent (which I keep because I love the look of the 60s cents), or a wheat, or an AU later cent, or an 09 cent, in nearly every roll or every other roll. I always keep a box of cents and will search several rolls after striking out on a box of halves just so that I can feel like I accomplished something, lol.

 

I just went through 3 silverless boxes
But did find a really nice 2005-S proof a 2004 2 2005P and a 2007 so at least I found some goodies

 

Went to the bank yesterday and picked up a box of pennies and 1 roll of Halves in the halves I found 2 1982P with FG on the back I put one in the album the better of the two and put the other in circulation from the pennies I found 35 2009 pennies, 1 1935, 1 1936, 1 1937, I bahamas coin penny, 3 1950's wheats, 4 1940's wheats I would say I had a great box and today I got 2 boxes of pennies and so far Ive found 1 rail splitter and 2 1950's and oh I found 1 1940 and 1 1945 Canadian penny in the box yesterday that I picked up and I found a 1984P to put in the album to. Im feelin lucky today!! I have 205 2009 Pennies from searching rolls this year and from change.

 

I just searched a great box of halves! It contained 29 40%ers, 3 90%ers and one 1896 penny from Great Britain!

 

I went through my 2 boxes of pennies the first had the following

1 1940S
5 Log cabins
4 Rail splitters
2 1944P
1 1942
1 1945
2 1956D
1 Canadian comm.

From Box #2
1 1925P
1 1968S Red
1 Canadian comm.
1 1944D
2 1944P
1 1951S
1 1950P
2 1957D
1 1940P
1 1958D

8 3rd new lincoln pennies
5 Log Cabins
2 Rail Splitters
1 1953D
This box was a great box the 1925P I found on my second roll.

 

Went to the bank and got one roll of halves and got a 1984P Half Dollar for my album

 

That's the first Great half dollar box in quite a while (or so it seems). Congrats! and good to know that there is still hope, lol.

 

Finished going through 2 boxes of halves.

Found my first silver in over a year. Looking back on 2009, I think I'm going to have to give up box hunting. I've gone through at least 20 boxes, and only came up with this one silver.

Here's a breakdown of the good stuff from these boxes:
1965, 2004P(2), 2004D(2), 2005D, 2006P, 2006D(2)

And I only want to keep the silver.

 

I'd suggest trying to find a different source for those boxes if you can. While my last 4 boxes have all been skunks I have also had some amazing luck this year as well. Some of my best luck has just been stopping by various banks in my area asking for whatever halves they had on hand.

 

mrak,

When I just 'pop-in' to a bank and get whatever they have, my success rate has been much higher than from boxes. I've gotten several silvers like that this year. It can just be very time consuming.

c'est la vie

 

Yep. I hear you. I have a newborn and time is always in short supply.
