I get mine from a Credit Union.

 

I've not positive...the cardboard boxes the halves come in have no company markings at all. The wrappers on the halves are marked, "N.F. String & Son, Inc. - Harrisburg PA". That might just be the company that makes the wrappers, I'm not sure.

 

Opened the 1st of 3 boxes tonight with the kids

1-1966
1-1964
1-1943

The obverse on the walker is nice but the reverse has a pencil eraser size carbon/corrsion spot. Not sure what it is.

Edit: Opened boxes 2 and 3 and both were skunks

 

Was going through halves a while back, and found a rotated die error, but only about 15 degrees. Does something like this carry a premium? I've probably gone through a total of 20 or so boxes and haven't found another with any noticeable rotation. Check eBay a little, but they just don't come along that often. Any ideas?

 

bought 5 rolls of unc 1999 pennies... no WAMs.. haha were the wams only in the cheerio boxes?

 

Went through 3 rolls of cents & 2 rolls of dimes last night. Just got some hole fillers. I did find a couple 2010-D dimes also.

 

Out of 235$ in Bank wrapped dimes

3x 64
59
46
44 :smile

all Philly execpt for one of the 64s, but all duplicates, so nothing to add to the album.

 

She sucks at roll searching dimes... dumping her rolls out in prep for a return to the bank and found 3 more, with another box to go...

EDIT: Nothing in the second. Oh well.

 

Im getting 2 boxes of half dollars next week will post what I find

 

Profit per thousand, by the way, is at $13.06 for halves and $13.95 for dimes.

 

Is that how many you have found at face so far Ltrain?

Just did $100 CWR of dimes, nothing. Slowly getting rid of the 2010 Ps. I dumped about half of them...I can't believe people will buy them so readily.

Think I'll order a box of halves next week, or start going to the PNC to see if they still have them...haven't done any halves recently.

 

No, that's profit per thousand. IE; search $1k worth of dimes, I'll find almost $14 in silver.

My actual numbers for halves haven't changed since the last time I posted them. Dimes though...

$4k searched, 43 silvers found, 7 of which were Mercs. That's 3.11 troy oz of silver, valued at ~$55.84. Averaging $3.49 profit per box, or just shy of 3 silvers per.

 

Oh nice, yea I saw that but didn't think before I asked haha. Pretty good though. I think I've only done $900 in dimes, and at least $1410 in halves, and I've found 5 silver dimes, and 8 silver halves. 4 were in the last roll the bank had when I went to get $300, and 1 was a mutilated franklin that i'm debating spooning, only because I've become increasingly curious about the process. It's junk silver regardless.

 

I'm in the process of spooning a clad quarter to prove someone wrong on this forum. Taking FOREVER. Haha.

 

Ha! I was thinking of doing that myself, though I'd use a hammer, but still would take a couple hours I think. Might spoon a silver half (JFK) someday, would be kinda fun to have.

 

I'm about an hour in and I'd say the sides are about 3-4mm at this point.

 

Pulled 2 Canadian 1955 1 Cent NSF out of rolls - both in pretty good shape!!

 

2 boxes of halves. First box: 1 Franklin, 2 64's and 5 40%ers. Box 2: 0.

 

how exactly are you guys able to get ahold of boxes? I have asked about ordering some and the bank teller and supervisors say they can't order them...also no bank seems to have more then $2-3 in halves anyways...
