Roll-searchers, post your results!

I had a couple of bank boxes that held a total of 82 unopened 2010 D new rolls. Put a box together that I sold on eBay and still have 30 rolls or so ready to dump. Just debating on searching them first ?

i had about 5 rolls of unopened 2010, but i don't search varieties so i just dump them after i opened em.

 

I think searching them is likely a waste of time and I need to add a bed to the coin room, so need to get the mess under control soon. I'll probably set them aside for now and look at them next summer ? Maybe some varieties will be found by then and I'll know what to look for. lol

 

I like the Coinstar machines in Walmart and similar coin counting clones used by supermarkets.
They all have the reject shoot/slot. The machine always says:
"Check 'rejected coin' slot, some of your coins may have been returned/rejected"
When I walk into Walmart, I always go to the Coinstar machine first. On many occassions, there are 1964 dimes and quarters just sitting in the reject shoot to be liberated from its clutches. Sometimes Ikes as well. I bring my jar of pennies, but always collect somebody elses rejected silver first.

 

Good Idea ! I don't think it would work in Las Vegas though. It's so bad here economically, there's a line to check the coin slots on payphones. You don't even see cents in parking lots any more.

 

10gary:
You have a point regarding the economic situation. I think this is also responsible for more silver and other esoteric stuff being in circulation.
The dynamics of this go beyond " the kid raiding his dad's whitman folder to buy a pack of gum" syndrome.
I think people are raiding their own "collectible" stash.
This would explain why I've gotten silver certificates in change, why I've also been able to hassle the bank teller to give me some rolls of Kennedy's, and all four rolls were 40% silver, and one roll even had a couple of franklins in them. I suspect some grandma came in to cash them in for our modern fed notes, to buy bread and milk.
A hint to everybody here:
Be nice to your head teller at the branch of bank where you do business, butter her up real good. In exchange, rolls of halves and "unusual" stuff , you get! And not some other guy.
Butter her up this xmas, form a bond.
Bring some chocolate, well worth the silver and wheat I get from her in exchange for face$
The worse thing is to drive from bank to bank looking for the mother load, the best thing is a relationship and someone on the inside who will give you stuff for face value. That's a relationship folks.

 

4 CWR halves... nothing. Picked up my first box of nickels... we'll see.

 

1 $500 box of Halves,

2 40%,

1 90%

 

2 boxes of halves, no silver. But I got a 71d DDO, 2004D, 2006S, and a 1972D that looks brand new.

 

Great box!

Finally got a box that you read about someone else getting. I opened the box and saw a Liberty obverse on the end of one of the rolls. I flipped over the others and found the eagle reverse of a Liberty. I was already happy with the box. I ended up with the following:

Walking Liberty: 1941s, 1942, 1942s, 1942, 1943, 1943, 1944, 1944, 1945s

Franklin: 1950, 1950d, 1953d, 1954d, 1954d, 1954d, 1954d,1957d, 1959, 1960, 1961d, 1963

1964

1965, 1968d, 1968d, 1968d, 1969d

2001p, 2002d, 2003d

I am still smiling...

 

Awesome finds Moonshine!! Were these fad wrapped rolls?

 

Thanks. Not sure what 'fad wrapped' stands for. They were yellow NF String rolls.

 

Wow, thats over $200 in silver you got there

 

How cool is that, man !

 

Nice find!

Did 1 box of halves got 1 40% and 1 1976 S

and 1 box of dimes got me a 57 and 2 63

 

Once in a while I take my favorite teller a coin in a flip. Last was a common 1919 LHC, but she really seemed to like it. I know she doesn't have time to search coins, but she saves the CWRs for me. I just got 200 rolls of cents from her and that's all there were. Hopefully she'll get some more soon

 

yeah that was supposed to say Fed wrapped... sorry NF String rolls answers that!

 

Hahah...gotcha. I prob shoud've figured that out.

 

2 boxes halves, first was 2 40% and 1 '64. Second was 11 40% and 2 '64's.

 

I've been thinking, "Mercrazy". Your profile pic is the same as "Ltrain's" on Tnet. I wonder....... "Ltrain" also told me he was back on Cointalk under a new username.....
