From the change I got at the cafeteria at work Friday.


By the way, how can you tell a regular '68-S from a proof '68-S?

2 boxes of dimes
box 1: skunk
box 2: 86S, 62D Roosie, 96 five Pence

need bout 3 or 4 silver dimes to complete a roll.

 

Doesn't look like a proof to me.

 

I couldn't remember when "S" mints started being proof only. But '68 had both proof and regular strikes. I don't think this is a proof either, just a nice looking old nickel. But then I wondered how to tell the difference. Is it really obvious? The metal composition would be the same, so how can you tell a slightly circulated proof from an AU regular strike?

Another box of dimes, another skunk

 

Picked up my first ever box Friday. Skunk on dimes but I'll keep trying. 2 CWR and the rest BWR.

 

$40 of CWR: Skunk

i have a 1900 canada and was wondering what it was worth die cut error

 

So I quit my job in NYC. I am doing part time consulting work for a friend's I\T consulting firm and watching our new baby while the wife goes back to work full time. This is the first week so it'll be interesting to see how much roll searching I can do. The wife works from home 2-3 days a week which should free me up to make some bank trips.

Did a $500 bag of dimes from a local bank's coin counter. This was the second bag I've gotten from them. The first one only yielded 1 Roosie so I thought maybe it rejected silver but this second bag yielded 4 Roosies and a Merc.

 

$10 in BWR cents - only 14 pre-82 and 13 in the same roll. No wheats. 8 2009's, though so not a total loss.

1 CWR halves - skunk

 

Trick *and* Treat

Slow day at work so I grabbed another $10 in BWR cents. Only 114 1959-1981 with many a skunk roll. However, the ones that did have copper had 18 wheats!

1920, 23, 26, 28
1930s, 35, 37, 39(2)
1940(2), 41, 41d, 42(2)
1951, 55, 55d

Along with a 1960d small date and 5 2009's add up to more treats than tricks.

 

Great finds, I'm hoping to do as well as thy during my roll-searching year.

 

Hi where do most of you guys get your coin rolls from a bank ebay ? thanks

 

I am new to this but I get mine from a local Wells Fargo bank (formerly Wachovia). They have never asked me if I have an account with them even though I do and cheerfully ask me if I need a bag for my rolls. Other local banks have asked me if I had an account and are reluctant to let me have more than just a few rolls at a time.

By the way, I dump (return) the coins I don't keep at a credit union I have an account at. They have a machine that counts the coins so I don't have to re-roll them. Also, from my limited experience, credit unions are a poor source of coins. They have few to no business accounts and therefore have no need to stock more than a minimum amount of coins.

 

thanks for the info !

 

The fields on a proof will remain mirror-like even with circulation.

 

How many? I can get you some.

 

box of dimes, 1 roosie, 1 merc.

Gives me 500 dimes found for the year.
