Roll-searchers, post your results!

Thanks Ace, you said it man, pneumonia is no joke. They say it take months to get over it and get all your energy back. The break was nice.

First ever box of halves from the bank...

SKUNK.

I feel like crap. Lol.

 

LOL get used to it.

Dimes; 4 roosies, pretty good box.

Nickels; 2 wars.

 

Lunch was the highlight of my day. Everything else was Skunksville!

 

You sayin you luck has run out?

 

2 boxes of dimes
box 1: 3 silver roosies
box 2: not done with it but its mostly all 2011D's and only a few other years. Probably going to just take the rest in unsearched and get quarters this time.

 

box of dimes: '53 and '64 roosie and 2001 canadian
1st box of halves: skunk
2nd box of halves: skunk

 

Box of dimes - 1 '44.

Not a skunk

 

I finally had a chance to make one stop today. $10 in loose halves... nothing.

 

2 boxes of dimes; 4 and 2, all roosies. I'll take it. Two enders as well, one per box.

 

Are the Canadian worth anything?

240 in CWR halves. 2-40%
150 in CWR dimes. 1 -1964 rosie, 4 post '68 canadian (which i was about to turn in!) Do you hold it for the nickel??

bank kept pushing me off on ordering boxes. just opened an account with 5th 3rd and put in a standing order for 2 boxes of halves a week. they seemed more than happy to help!!

 

Found $103 in CWR and Loose at bank - Skunk. Already searched and wrappers had a marker streak on the outside.
Box of Dimes - Skunk (Mostly 2011)
Box of Halves:

1 x 1937 Walker
1 x 1969 Kennedy!

I'll take it....

 

2 boxes of nickels, quite a few nice BU's, including the nicest nickel I've ever found, a remarkably clean, satiny '00-P that I would grade at 67+. Other notable BU's were several from '65 and earlier, including a low-MS '39. Also pulled a dateless buff and a war nick.

 

1st box of halves = skunk
2nd box of halves = skunk
3rd box of halves = skunk

1st box of dimes = skunk
2nd box of dimes = 2 roosies: '54 & '56

Pretty slow week. Did seven boxes of halves and was skunked on all. Dimes slowed down as well.

 

2 boxes of dimes, 1 skunk, 1 with 1 roosie.

Definite slow down.

 

Not so much a roll, but in change the other day I got a 1973-S quarter. Not silver, but my 1st proof-in-circulation find! When I got it (at Subway - not for me!!), something just seemed 'strange' about it ...

 

No banks are open here in my area. Not only can I not cash my check I can't pick up or dump coin. I wish I realized all that yesterday.

One of my banks didn't order, one ordered three and gave all three to some other dude , so I'll only get two boxes this weekend. I picked up one of them yesterday and it had only 1 silver, but at least it was a 1964

 

OK, so I'm finally curious enough to ask what path coins take after they leave the dump bank. In my neck of the woods they go to a fed branch in El Paso Texas- I think. I saw the teller write "Fed, El Paso" on a bag- but I'll have to look as I only knew of the Dallas branch. So they go to the fed branch, then what? Do they get re-rolled there in the N.F. String wrappers and re boxed so I can look thru the same coins again? I realize I should probably do my own research by putting marker coins in my dumps, but what have some of you more experienced roll searchers found? The reason I ask is that my halves used to be like 5, 8, 11, 17 silvers per box and rolls of NIFC, now skunked 7 boxes in a row other than a '68 in the last box. I don't think they're the exact same coins b/c I still find some things I would have pulled. I hate complaining about finding free money, just frustrated and getting paranoid that they're out to get me! BTW, could a bank conspire with the coin rollers to make it hard for a roll searcher if they wanted to? Anyway, I might just cool it on the halves for a while and goto dimes, wait for the dimes to go bad and repeat. Not a beginner, but been hunting long enough to notice that I had beginner's luck.

Edit: Found that the Dallas branch has El Paso, San Antonio, and Houston branches.

 

If you were getting 5, 8, 11, 17 per box, consider yourself EXTREMELY lucky. I published stats recently that showed that over the last 2 years, I've averaged 3.25 silvers per box.

I've had streaks like yours before (my worst was 13 skunks in a row).....the key is consistency.
