If I find another one soon, it's yours. None of 'em are really nice, unfortunately.

Yeah, the WAM will smack you in the face the moment you see it, it's really obvious. PM me your addy and I'll try to get it sent out sometime this week.

Hmm, since I started keeping track;

$52,569 in halves.
$5,660 in quarters.
$29,850 in dimes.
$5,100 in nickels.
$1,465 in pennies.

 

Just finished that other box of cents;

'20
'42
'44 x2
'46
'52
'53-D x2 (One RB low AU)
'55 x3
'56
'56-D x6 (Another RB low AU)
'58-D x2

BU's; Gem '61-D, easily an upgrade in my set, and a '68-D

10 Canadians.

 

Thanks a lot man! much appreciated! I'll send the pm in a min.

And yeah when I was first getting into searching for them I looked up pictures online so I had something to compare it too and it is pretty obvious...my eye like to play tricks on me though so I end up getting excited for nothing haha

oh and about your totals of searching...... :bow: haha so jealous

 

It's probably a bit more, too, I didn't used to keep track... I casually roll searched for silver due to my job for about 8 months or so without keeping tabs and only pulling silver quarters and dimes. Didn't find all that many.

 

To the best of my knowledge, Since April 2009, I searched $153,169 in Half Dollars, approximately $11,500 in dimes, approximately $550 in nickels, and approximately $250 in cents......who says I'm addicted?

 

Wow! That's an insane amount. What is your best find to date?

 

Tuesday Report:

I got two boxes from the bank, and they had $2.50 in loose halves.

Loose: 3 of the 5 loose were 40%ers
Box 1: 1 40%er and a 1950D Frankie
Box 2: I'll open that later and report....

 

Pales in comparison to others' here. 60 silver dimes in a bank bag containing about $635. Roll searching in Philly is a grind and a half.

 

Saturday I picked up $5 of cents at the bank and $40 in nickels(yeah, I'm a big spender :smile) but anyway, in the cents I got 8 wheats and about 33% copper. In the nickels I found a 43 P war nickel, probably about 20 pre-60's, one of which was a '39 so darn close to full steps it scared me!!:biggrin:

 

Since December 2010 I've been through roughly 35k in halves, 1k dimes, and 500 in Nickels.

I don't really keep track of my numbers with halves since I do a lot of CWR's.

 

Would love to find a commem AND even a barber. Only types I have yet to find.

 

About $120 in cwr of halves... nothing. Picked up 4 ikes.

 

My 2nd box today yielded 7 40%ers, so not a bad day at all. In total, 11 40%ers and a Franklin.....any day is a good day when you find a Franklin.

 

Spreadsheeted all my listed cent finds posted here since the turn of the year and crunched the numbers (TY, excel) to bring you some stats.

1 in 20 boxes yields a 1909.
1 in 2 boxes yields a 191X and 192X.
3 in 5 boxes yields a 193X.
1 in every 7.69 rolls yields a 194X.
1 in every 5.48 rolls yields a 195X.

 

Yesterdays finds:

3 slv dimes from a box, including a 53D for the album (up to 35 out of 48, ALL FROM CIRCULATION).

6$ in cents yielded 9 wheats.

Noce on the Frankie, Bobbeth

 

Finished 108 CWR's
2 40%ers
5 Rolls of NIFC's. I've found 9 rolls of NIFC halves this week. I've had some luck selling them before but not on the scale that I have now. Oh well, the worst that I can do is through them back into the pond.

 

Thats crazy Agent. What years are the NIFC's?

 

Thanks Merc....very interesting. However, I think your 1909 stat is an aberation.......you have been quite lucky at finding those.

 

Pretty even balance between the 2002 - 2009 with the exception of the 2010's. Looks like I have about four roles of the 2010's now.
