5$. It seems to be the only one I can get in red.

 

Ive only found a $2 red note of that year in circulation so that is a really great find.

 

A first.....wow.

Half my boxes are total skunks.

On that note, I searched one box of halves yesterday........I was skunked.

I did find two mint wrapped 2005 westward movement nickel rolls for face at a bank.

 

Well, I have only been doing this a couple of months. And, I have been really lucky as well. I was due a skunk or two.

 

Hey gang,

Haven't posted in a bit but here goes. Boxes have all but dried up around here. 14 of my last 17 were total shutouts. So I took a three week period off and picked up two boxes today to break the 3 week run. First box I found 1 1953 and in the second box found nothing. Like I said, boxes IMO have become negative returns for the gas and time involved. Over that same three week period I stopped at a total of 9 banks. The first week I stopped at 4 banks and was lucky enough to find one bank that had 3 rolls of which one was full silver and the second had 6 silver in it. The last week I took a road trip and stopped at 4 banks on the way to San Antonio. One bank had one Franklin, one bank was a shutout, one bank had 1 40% and the 4th bank had 60 silver halves including 14 1964's. Then today, I stopped at one bank which had one roll...19 Franklins and 1 1968. This is the second best ever roll I have found!

Anyway total for 3 weeks from 9 banks:

20 Franklins
19 1964's
69 40%'ers.

Last 19 boxes:

15 shutouts
1 Franklin
1 1964
6 40%'ers


Erin (jealous of the rest of the country's boxes lol)

 

Whether it's in boxes, loose or from some executive giving you a call, you always seem to have finds that I can only dream of. Your 3 week total for 90%s is about the same as mine is since April. Most times I'm lucky to find enough halves to fill 1 roll if I stop at a dozen banks.

Keep up the good work.

 

Yes, I am grateful for what I have found in this area and been very lucky as far as the tellers. Believe me, the 19 Franklins in one roll blew me away! In the past 14 months I had only found 45 Franklins leading into today. I know some find lots of Franklins but we have a lot of searchers down here and the coins are mostly searched out.

Erin

 

I don't think it's searched out, I think you're just getting to it before it gets into circulation and boxes.

 

Picked up a few rolls today, nothing major, but found a 39 nickel, a few 09 cents, 1 2010 cent, and an '88 cent with a die crackright under the FG, from the memorial to the rim.

 

Ten rolls of pennies yielded a 1947 s wheat and about 20% copper

Ten rolls of nickels yielded 8 pre-1960 and one 1965 gem.

 

Yeah, I live a few miles from Erin and he finds everything before I can get to it. I've found like 21 Franklins in over a year, and he has tripled me in less time in the same area.

Yep, I'm jealous.

 

i finally found my first 2005 bison! its a P and only has two minor nicks... i am very happy, even though its not really worth anything, it does fill a hole though..

i just can't believe it took me this long to find one.

 

I founded a 1953a $5 united states note in my change about a mounth ago.

 

well im going to get my halves today this is my first time so what are coins i should be looking besides the 40% & 90%?

 

NIFC 2002- Present and 1987P and D NIFC and the 1974D DDO, 1982P No FG.

 

erin:
great finds!

 

eBay wheat cent roll

I took a break from bank rolls for a week and decided to buy another eBay roll.
I paid 12 bucks and shipping was free. Here's the results. I just bought another one.

(1) 1909 P vf
(2) 1917 P vg
(3) 1917 S vg
(4) 1918 S vf
(5) 1919 S ef
(6) 1927 D vf -misplaced mm (pic included)
(7) 1930 D Red and Brown ef
(8) 1930 D au condition
(9) 1935 S nicked up rim but au shape
(10) 1935 D vf
(11) 1936 S au shape
(12) 1937 S and a D au shape
(13) 1938 D au shape
(14) 1939 S and a D in au shape
(15) 1941 S looks like a S over D under the scope-still working on it
(16) 1952 S Red and toned looks like it has a repunched D lower -east of the 9 bu shape
(17) 1955 D Red and beautifully toned one or two small nicks

 

One box of dimes.

I'll let the pics say it all.


Technically, it wasn't a "box" of dimes as they were all loose rolls, including some customer wrapped rolls, but it was $250 worth of dimes. I'm pretty stoked right now. Best rolls were 5, 4, 4 and 3 silvers.

 

Wow!
