Sorry to hear of your shutouts Erin.

Lather, how many rolls?

I'm stuck on business out of state without any rolls to search.

 

Haven't been collecting or searching rolls very long. Not sure what a good "average" should be. One thing I have found out....when I buy rolls in Lubbock I don't have nearly as much luck as when I buy rolls from the bank here in the small town I live in.

 

Three Rolls.. Solid 40%.... Now Just waiting for the Banks to open to start the hunt again...

To the Hounds!

 

Hey Erin (Aggiecollector),
Can you give us some overall stats from your 100 boxes of halves searched? I'd like to know how many 40%, 64's, Franklins, Walkers, etc., you've found over that many boxes. Thanks for any info...Jeff

 

How to find penny boxes

Hello I have been trying to find $50 in pennies but none of the banks around have that much. What is a way I can find them.

 

Searched a bag of dimes found 7 silver dimes one was a 1917 mercury

 

nice find

 

Ask for a $25 box. It may take some time for them to warm up to you.

 

If you want I got my own that ive been keeping since 2002. close to 1200 boxes.


Regardless todays finds were:
1964 dime
1940 dime
1963 quarter

 

How do you get a bag of dimes or pennies. I thought they only had boxes.

 

Boxed coins?

They actually come in boxes and not rolls?

 

Definitely, I'd really like to see your stats over that many boxes...thanks!

 

Went through 2 rolls of pennies and found a red 1963D
Went through $8 in nickels and found 1 1941P, 1956D, 1958D.

 

Sorry, I should be more clear. They come in rolls, packaged in boxes of $25, 50 rolls to a box.

 

Yeah, I am sure I probably pretty sounded like a newbie, but I couldn't picture gettign a "box" full of pennies.

Thanks!

 

1 Box Halves.. Two 40%ers is all I found .. Sadly.. No Holes filled but a couple upgrades
A couple years ago I would get 5x as many or more..
I did go to the coin shop and get my 2010 ASE!! I hit the Bank and got 3 Susan B's and a'76 Ike.. Then the Big one!!! I will be posting the SN in the Strap searchers post but got my Lowest SN Found on a Single.. L 00001050 P and 6 Silver cert. from '57!!! One a Star!

 

roll searching

Havent found much in last 4 boxes or loose rolls ... 1 1968 d kennedy did order a pair 0f 2007 kennedys off "the bay" needed for a hole and am impatient.. the one had die roation not much CCW probably 15 degrees... first die rotation a keeper .. goose .. happy hunting to all or should I say searching..

 

I am able to buy the bags of coins that come out of the coin star machine at my bank and they are sorted by denominations $50 cents, $200 nickels, $500 dimes, $500 quarters and $1000 halves.

 

Order from the Chief teller.

Ask the head teller at the bank to order them for you. It will not cost anything. You probably have to be customer, but that is about it. My bank teller orders on occasion (usually monthly, but not always). (It is a small bank).

Each box holds 25$ in pennies. Each bag holds 50$. Our teller gets me what she can. I try to give her some choices. Also, be sure not to take your "unrolled" pennies back to the same bank. That would not be appreciated.
