Roll-searchers, post your results!

Where do you get your coins from, i have been looking to try to score one of those boxes but all the places I normally go say they can't get them. Those wrapper are different from the ones mine normally come in.

Picked up $330 in halfs on way home from lunch yesterday. After checking them out I found 1 90% and 10 40% pluss 4 coins I needed to fill holes and up graded 2 other coins I already had. Not bad at al.

 

I got this box from Bank of America. If I remember correctly this is a "Brink" box. It's really hit and miss for the new pennies. Ive gotten sealed N.F. String & Son boxes of LP1 and LP2 2009 pennies in the past and now this Brink box of 2010 pennies. They apparently just get in whatever is sent to them, only requesting denomination, not specifying if its a new box of pennies or a mixture.

I dont know what to do with this box now lol. I might try to just capitalize on the hype around them right now and "hock" them on craigslist and see what they will go for. That way I can afford to get more boxes of nickels to sort

 

Ill give you $26 for it . I wonder about that too, my wife might call the hoarding show if I told her I had a box of unopened pennies I wanted to store...

 

Went through $350 in Halfs and found 1 1966 Half
Went through 1 box of nickels and found no silver but found 15 pre 1960 nickels
Went through 2 boxes of pennies and found 1 2010P Shield penny, 1 1932 Canadian Penny, 1 1925P Wheat penny, 10 Capital, 14 Lawyers, 10 Rail splitters, 9 Log Cabins, and 14 wheat pennies in addition to the 1925P.

 

Went through about 5$ in rolled cents today and found, 3 wheaties, 56d,30p,51s. One AU 70S, a 04 and 05 weak die press from when the mint guys are trying to get the pressure right, they look like lincolin has no hair definition and the E C and E are barely there on the reverse. An 05 with a die crack all the way across the reverse. 75d AU with reverse lamination. So far this box of 25$ has almost paid for itself and I'm not nearly half way through it. Earlier I found out of one of the rolls a 96d with very strong laithe marks around the whole coin, and a 93 missing the Li, last T in trust and the 3 is only visible with a loupe.

 

Found a 1999P that was noticeably barely off center

 

$500 in halves for my girlfriend and 4 40's.

 

A few bu 60's in that last catn box a handful of 2010s and a few wheats from the 40s/50s.

$85 dimes-nothing
$170 quarters-BU 67
$10- a couple memorials to fill in holes and a 1918!!!

 

Got some two rolls of halves today and found two 1967s.

 

I searched $140 in halves I found 1 1964 and 2 %40'ers been a good week found 22 so far

 

1987 error & 2002 sneezing Lincoln

Today, I bought 20 rolls and started a primary sort of ten of them. I always pull the AU coins, sort by decade, then follow with a sort by year and mint, so I can see the same coins in a batch. I can spot variations easier that way.

I found these 2 in the first sort. I don't know much about the "Sneezing Lincoln" except reading someplace that it is a variety. But don't have any info. So if anyone does, I appreciate it.



Last week, I was going through some rolls of hoarded 1964 Washingtons. I posted a Doubled Reverse. As I was putting everything back into rolls to clear my work area, I saw these. No kidding !

 

wrong pic

Sorry, grabbed the pic o0f the "Sneezing Lincoln" twice. I wanted to post this other double mint mark quarter.


I just got a new laptop and the touch pad is quite different as are the click settings. But it is probably easier to learn how than adjust the machine ? Sorry.

 

Found a 1956-D quarter, 1952-S nickel, and a 2009-P dime in the past week. Found 10 wheats as well. That 2009 dime is the first one I've found.

 

Did it AGAIN ! Sent the same quarter twice. No wonder I can't be left alone ? Here is the other Quarter (I HOPE) !

 

10 silver halves out of $200 face.

 

Box of nickels gave me 2 silvers, 10 38-49 and 11-50-59, and a 79s proof. Plus I got a 47s which filled a hole!!!

 

I went through $ 40 in nickels this week, found very little: one ea. 1940, 1941, 1946, 1949, 1953 D; really seem to have hit a dry spell. I finally found a first cabin cent in circulation though, the first one I have found.

 

After my recent expensive wheat roll purchase I decided to just get another $25.00 bank box from a neighborhood cash checking place and I have gone through 5 rolls so far and there has either been a wheat or Canadian in every roll. In this 5th roll I stumble across this beauty:

 

nice find....

what else has been in the box?
