Weekend report:

I wasn't able to get any boxes of halves.....yikes!

I found about $15 of halves which yielded 2 40%ers
1 box of dimes: Skunk

I also found in the trash next to the coin machine a 1958 Guatemala 5 Centavos coin (72% silver).

 

Best Lunch Break in a while

Stopped at my BoA to cash a check, buy a box of dimes and pick up a coin lock bag. All was good except the solid 2011 dime box they gave me. So I go across the street to a place where they always treat me real nice and hook me up with dime boxes. I ask to trade my 2011 box for a non-2011 box and they hooked me up no problem. While I'm chatting up the teller she tells me she has some CWR someone just brought in, so I take $50 just for fun and score a 1964 Roosie. She also is going on about how she had $120 in Kennedy Halves. I ask to see a roll and they are CWR. So I check my wallet and sure enough I have $120. She is telling me a guy brought them in and someone comes through the drive-thru once a month from out of town and usually buys them all up. Well, not this month because I got them and in the first roll there is a 40%! The teller even mentioned there will be something good in there for you. Weird. The other 11 rolls had 4 more 40%er's and even two in one roll.

$50 in CWR Dimes - 1 x 1964 Roosie
$120 in CWR Halves - 5 x 40%er's (1966, 1967, 1968, 2 x 1969)
$250 in BWR Dimes - Still waiting to be opened

I needed that, November has sucked for me so far.

I picked up 3 of my boxes of Halves that I didn't get to over the weekend:

Box 1: 1 x 1949 Ben, and 8 x 40% Ken's
Box 2: Skunk
Box 3: Skunk

Still happy with the results!

 

$100 in halves...skunk...
picked up a box of pennies to work on...

hey...is there any other key dates to keep an eye out for while im at least looking thro the halves....??

 

Off tomorrow, should be able to get... 2, 4, 5, 6, 7 boxes of halves if all goes well. Probably a bag too, no clue how much will be in there tho.

 

Anyone ever done business with a laundry mat? I hear that people find a lot of silver at car washes.

 

Picked up a $500 bag of dimes and scored 5 Roosies. Also got $100 in BWR dimes and got 1 Roosie and a '41 Merc.

 

I once went to a nickel arcade in Milwaukee, OR and bought $85 and found 6 war nickels. I don't know if that helps much.

 

That's a good day on the dimes!

 

Another box of dimes and another skunk.

 

Thanks everyone for all the great information you provide on the site.

I've been CRH for about a month now. I started with a few rolls of nickels at a time and then worked up to a few boxes a week. I found quite an assortment of interesting coins searching nickels, dated V's, dated and dateless buffs, wars, and even a 1856 Denmark 1 Skilling Rigsmont. So after several boxes without a buffalo or v, I decided to move on up to dimes. I got my first two boxes today...

Box 1 - 1 x 1964 roosie
Box 2 - 1 x 1919 merc, and 1 x 1964 roosie

I dig the look of the mercs and I'm really happy to be able to find one! I guess I've got the dime bug now...

 

Box of dimes: 1 Roosie (46)

Also found 3 one Euro coins in the reject bin.

 

I don't seem to find much these days... might have to start checking halves before x-mas though...

 

$250 in CWR dimes: 1 Roosie

 

The box of dimes ended up having a 1943 Merc in the second roll, nothing after that but it capped off a great day of searching. I also found a 1965 dime that looked silver, no copper showing. It did not pass the drop test so I'm thinking it must be a lamination error. I tossed it back in the bag to be sent out and counted. Rinsing and hopefully repeating on lunch today.

Thanks

Picked up $50 in dimes - Skunk
1 half dollar - skunk
I did drop off a coin lock bag of halves and dimes to be counted and credited so there was a positive.

WELCOME to the site....and the obsession!

Did a box of halves today.....skunk.
Stopped by 6 banks.....$5 total in halves....skunk.

 

Sorry HOTN, never saw this post.

Boring day. $3,160 in halves, just one 40%er. I'm done with boxes of halves at this point, just tired of the skunks, not worth it for the occasional hit.

In my last $12k searched, I have 10 40%ers to show for it. Five of which were in one box. FML.
