Roll-searchers, post your results!

Yet to find one in well over $1k searched. I have a couple IHC's, several '09 VDB's, bunch of earlier dates with mintmarks, a 1999 WAM, but I've never found a proof cent, haha.

Also worth noting; I've found proofs of every other denomination except dimes.

Just returned from the coin club meeting. Bob just found a 2007S half I needed and I had an extra 1999S that he needed so we swapped. Anyway, I was out garage sale shopping Saturday for rolls of coins as I have been finding more at garage sales lately than boxes for sure. I found a few rolls of cents mostly 20's and 30's and they had a couple of proof sets. I went out to my truck and pulled out ye ole trusty red book. One of the sets was a 1981 proof set. The book shows two types. One is worth $9 and the other with clear "s" coins is worth $375 (Red book prices). Looking at the mint marks, they looked clear to me so I took a flyer and bought it for $8. Tonight at the club, I showed it to several experts and low and behold, 5 of the coins are clear s's for sure and a split decision on one of them. Even if it is just 5 of 6 it is a strong score.

I love garage sales!

I never find coins at garage sales around here.

 

+1 on that.

 

Ok!! I searched my normal 4 boxes of halves tonight...

Box 1: 5 NIFC and 3 40%
Box 2: 3 NIFC, 11 40%, one '64 and a '63 Franklin!!!
Box 3: 2 NIFC and 4 40%
Box 4: 3 NIFC, 1 40%, and a 1973 S!!

WOOHOO!!! 19 40% and 2 90% and all the other fun stuff!!

On a side note, I was looking at the '03 S I found several weeks ago and noticed that Kennedy's head is different than every other Kennedy I've seen. Did they use a different die for the proofs that year??

 

Nice....

 

Yes, Erin scored on that 81 proof set. They all look like clear s varieties to me. 8 bucks turned into $300. Gotta love it.

I won a door prize at the coin club....a 43 mercury dime.

I opened one box of halves today.....3 40%ers and one Bender which turned out to be a 1951 Frankie

 

Awesome!!

 

What is a 'Bender'? Also, I was planning on coming out tonight but totally forgot. I will definately come next month! (not the 2nd Monday I will have company then)

 

Box of dimes tonight, ended up with five Roosies, 4 64's and another 58.

 

An "ender" is when silver is showing on the end of a roll. A "Bender" would be a Ben Franklin on the end of a roll. You could call a Kennedy silver a "Kender" etc.

 

today i took my change to the bank to get more nickels, i had about 65$$. i got home and started looking through the plastic sleeves, i noticed several dark edges, so i went on ahead and started looking, i found 14 silver nickels!!!! most of them was duplicates, but it didn't stop there, i found a 1939 d . i couldn't believe the quality on it. it looks amazing, and what is weird i found some proof nickels in there too a 1987 and 1990. pretty good haul if u ask me

 

Fourteen dollars in loose halves netted me 19 40%ers!

 

Sorry, I wasn't paying attention and thought you said dimes. It seems to me that all of the dimes that I find that are slightly off center are Phillies.

 

Funny you would mention that, I also just found a Kennedy stamped Lincoln a few weeks ago. Kinda interesting.

 

You found 14 war nickles out of $65 worth? and 2 proofs? Thats very strange!! Very lucky if you ask me.

 

Welcome to the forum.

That would be the best nickel finds I've ever heard of.....quite luck!


"Fourteen dollars in loose halves netted me 19 40%ers! "

Nice AgentX!!!!



Today I picked up 4 CWR and $15 in loose and found 8 40%ers and 1 1964.

 

1 box of nickels netted me 2 silvers, '42-s and a '45-d. It also produced 17 pre 50's, and a 1950, not the D dang it. Nice score on the 14 silvers woobacca!
