Roll-searchers, post your results!

Went to the grocery store today. There is a Bank of America next door. I've got halves coming in on Thursday, so I am "Jonesing" pretty bad. I stopped at the bank and picked up $ 20 worth of nickels and $ 13 worth of pennies. No halves, most of the banks in Chicago don't have them on hand; I have to order them. But - I hit a '43 P nickel. Silver is silver!

I am really starting to dig on nickel roll searching. In the past week, I've gone through $ 120 in Nickels - I've found the '43P, a 1910 V Nick, a 1937 Buffalo, and a 2000 S Jefferson.

I am curious - how often are you nickel searchers out there hitting war nickels?

I'm catching on to nickels as well. I'm averaging one war nickel each box, a buffalo every other box.

 

Just finished searching through halves for the first time. I was able to get 2 rolls from one bank and 16 from another. In the 2 rolls from the one bank I found 7 40%. In the 16 from the other bank 0 anything haha. They must have been searched before, did get some fillers for my collection. Also 0 S mint marks. Are they hard to come by?

 

Finished that box, and here's the results;

'19
'22-D (Yeah, I'm almost positive it's a '22-D at this point)
'44 x2
'46 x2
'46-D
'53-D
'53-S
'56-D
'57
'57-D

BU's; '61-D.

7 Canadians.

 

What auction house would this be? Don't worry you wont have any competition lol I have work all day and I'm broke

Picked up 4 rolls cents and nickels and 2 rolls dime today getting change for the drawers at my work.

Dimes: NADA
Nickels: 1947-S, 1964-D, 1967 all AU
Cents: 1948-D, 1958, and 1963, 1960-D both AU
and a neat looking toned 1993 lol

 

I usually find at least one war nickel in every other box. It seems like there's a pattern with my boxes of nickels; one has at least one war nickel, the next has a buffalo. On numerous occasions though, I've found both war nickels and buffaloes in the same box (my best was four war nickels, (including an XF-AU '43-D and VF-XF '45-D, and 3 buffaloes in one box, including an AG or G '17-S).

 

I'll tell ya tomorrow night. I'm working from 11-7 tomorrow, the auction starts at 6. It's in my town, but that is unfortunately about 40 minutes from my work. I'm making a beeline there as soon as I get out, though, so hopefully I'll get there in time for the lots I really want. The rest, well, I'm going there before work tomorrow to lay out some absentee bids. I'm kinda broke, but I have my CC and that's got about $5k in room on it to use, so... Yeah. Gonna try to buy some stuff to flip, there's a crapton of silver in this auction.

 

Is it the one across the street from booths corner?


btw I would like to go to a local coin show or auction around our area one time, and I really wouldn't be any competition seeing how I'm poor, so if any more come up it would be appreciated and cool if you'd let me know...I have not clue where I would look to find out for myself lol

 

I'll PM you, but I'm not putting out here since you can do phone bids... lol. And no, it's not Briggs auction.

 

haha alright...thats the only place around us that I know of. My gf's parents go there a lot and I think they said they saw some coins before so I was just wondering haha

 

I did a box of dimes tonight....One Canadian and one 1958 silver Roosie.

 

I feel ya brother.. seems that things down here are drying up awful quickly.. Got skunked on 4 boxes of halves Friday..

 

Awesome find on the '22-D Merc Crazy!

 

Here's a pic of the date if you guys wanna take a shot at it.



Gonna try to get better pics next weekend.

 

skunk on $130 of dimes & $20 in nickels.

 

I see a lot of dime searching... just for silver? what else IS there?

 

'82 no P. That's worth good money. 1996-W, that's also worth a decent amount.

Box of dimes, one '64.

 

what are the chances of finding a 96W? wasn't that a mint-set only?

 

slim

 

a 96 w was found rollsearching in cali sometime in the passed 2 years.
