Roll-searchers, post your results!

Observing some other threads, I think I should start using the term "cents" rather than pennies. Either way, a box is 50 rolls ($25). I say box because the bank I go to gives them in a box with a tape seal on top as opposed to loose rolls. It normally makes their life easier unless they have to get THE MANAGER.

Thanks! Thats funny about THE MANAGER- they usually understand. Its usually the new tellers that have problems. I had a teller tell me once, "you can't have ten dollars worth of cents. I don't have that many to give you, I'd have to open the vault." After politely explaining that all she has to do is get the manager and/or a second person to accompany her into the vault, she can get all the coins needed.

 

Went through around $1000 in halves so far (sadly brinks) But! I did find 1 1964! A magicians coin (a bicentenial front and a regular rev. XD) A 1960-1985 silver coated? half A 2009 D and 2003 D too still have about another $1000 in halves to go.

 

I think I saw someone on ebay selling a roll of them the other day. I may be mistaken.

 

50 dollars in rolled halves netted 7 90%ers and 11 40%ers. All have wicked toning. :thumb:

 

Other $1000 found 8 40%ers one 67 that looks stunning!

Also found 2 05s 1 01 1 04 1 06 and a rainbowish toned 76 with some blue, im sure its AT but it looks cool

 

Nice finds people.

I went through a box of haves today.....zero keepers

5 rolls of cents netted some copper and a few 09s, but nothing else. Not a great roll searching day....

 

That seems to be my norm.:crying:

 

You really done pretty good....

 

I always try every weekend to buy 3-4 rolls of quarters. Afew weeks ago I got some rolls from a local gas station. They were hand rolled and i really wanted bank rolls but I took them anyway. Well the first roll I opened had 19 pre 1965 quarters in it and I new it had silver in it when i poured them into my hand. I was amazed b/c normally i might get 1 out of 10-15 rolls. The rest of the rolls had nothing in them, but it does go to show its worth buying and checking rolls from time to time. I figure the rolls w/ the silver must have been from some kid raiding his dads or grandads quarter jar. Thats the only way I can figure that many 90% quarters were in there.

Thanks for this post its fun to hear of peoples luck!!

 

You got silver quarters? Wow. I didn't think much silver was found in quarter rolls. Anyone else find silver quarters. That is one denomination that I never get because I thought they were too picked over because they are circulated so much. Anyone else?

 

Thanks

 

This week

Searched 7 boxes of halves this week. Found 1 2006P and exactly 1 40% silver from 1968. I picked up one customer roll from one of the tellers that saves them for me and it had 6 40%ers in it.

So in boxes 1 silver out of 7000 coins.
In rolls 6 silver in 20 coins.

Do you think we have several "box" searchers in our area or what? lol

Couldn't find a box today, but found $55 in loose halves and found the following:
1 65
3 67
1 68
1 69
1 70 These are hard to find and actually worth more than the 90%ers!

 

Great Finds

 

I go through maybe 10 bucks per week in pennies and I'll go through the occasional nickel roll as well....nothing spectacular yet in my 8 months of coin collecting, but a few really nice early 1900's cents.

 

I found a silver quarter this morning at work it has been months since I last found one at work

 

went through $10 in cents... 1 wheat (1948) , 4 canadian, and 27% copper. NO 2009's. talk about a strike out.

 

I have been able to go thru $300 - 500 worth of quarters from the laundry at times before and never found any silver.

 

One other note

One of the boxes I got this week had 960 UNC 2000P halves and 40 random ones mixed in. First time to find anything like that in searching 92 boxes so far.
