Roll-searchers, post your results!

My weekly results:

Boxes:
Dimes (2): Skunk; Roosie x5
Nickels (2): War N x 1; Skunk
Halves (1): 90% x 1

Rolls:
Quarters (54): Skunk (again!)
Dimes (65): Roosie x3
Nickels (51): War N x3
Pennies (53): Wheat x17 (including a RD 1949, I'll post pics if I remember)
Halves ($21.50 loose and CWR): Skunk

Also picked up a 1992-S Proof Nickel, 14 Red Seal $2 bills, and 18 Ikes. I need to find paper rollers for my burgeoning Ike collection.

Been a crazy week for foreign again, highlights include 2 Halfpennies from the UK (post decimilization, tiny coins) and a 1967 Phillipines 25s coin. Other foreign: $1.14 Canadian, 25c Trinidad, 2 euro c, 5pf Germany, 20c Bermuda, 1p Mexico, 5c Panama, 1fr Belgium, 100L Greece, 2p UK, and 1s Israel. I don't know how i find so much foreign, most of it is from rolls lol

Anyhow, not sure how I feel about the clear wrapped nickels but at least my dry streak on war nickels is over. I did go shopping at my local coin dealer and picked up $1 in Merc Dimes, $1 in Barbers/SLs, and 2 Morgans (they threw in a 40% H for free, cool guys) from their junk piles for just about melt. They even had a 1970 UK proof set (the last year before decimilization) that I've been trying to find for forever, so I got that too.

HOTN - You gotta take the good with the bad, or is it the other way around? It'll turn around eventually!

1 Box of dimes -3 Silver
4 Boxes of nickels - 4 Silver, 2 Buffalo and 3 2009's
1 Box of halves - skunk

 

Yesterday did $250 in dimes, mixed between plastic BWR, paper BWR, and CWR. Found 1 silver and one UK 5p.

If anyone's interested in some uncirculated 2011 D dimes, let me know. I have six rolls that I opened and six probables that I haven't

 

A box of dimes is $250 and a box of halves is $500. While we're at it a box of cents is $25, a box of quarters is $500 and a box of nickels is $100.

You could have given the new guy on the block a simple answer with the amount of words you used to tell him that he could get an answer 50 times by using the search function. Using the search function on this forum does not take you to specific pages that has the information you're looking for, the results page just lists entire threads. Not everyone wants to weed through gigantic threads such as this one to get a simple answer.

 

Small dollars buck the trend though: A box contains 40 $25 rolls, for a total of $1000.

 

Today searched 1 box of halves-skunk. ordered 2 more boxes from the same bank for next week. much to my amazement i did pick up a 62 quarter off the ground at a Wallmart today! pretty sure that's my first and last Wallmart floor silver find

 

$150 in dimes: 1 silver Roosie, and a total of 3 dimes extra. Also got 2 more Ikes.

 

That's why I said a box is 50 rolls. Easy answer for total box cost for whichever denomination you're looking for.

With 2009s, which errors are you looking for? I think I'm out of the loop.

 

Lon: 2009 has the lowest mintage for the last 40 years or so on both dimes and nickels.


Got 2 boxes today:

1 was a skunk
1 had 1 40%, 1 1964 90%, and 4 proofs

Oh I forgot I picked up 5 Ikes as well! one 1972(Variety I),three Bicentennials, and one 1978 in AU or better condition

 

I've got 16 boxes of dimes ordered for thursday! LOL this is by far my biggest order, and I can't wait to start ripping them open! My bank really didn't even act like it was a burden at all, they'll even help carry them out to my car when they arrive in the bank haha!

 

They're not going to charge you a fee to order so many boxes? Two different banks in my area have told me I will be charged a fee (up to $10) to order even one box of pennies or nickels. Obviously I am not going to buy boxes from such banks but it amazes me how so many on here order large quantities of boxes but make no mention of being charged a fee for them.

 

Found this a little while back

 

Last two boxes of nickels I've done gave up 3 wars and a dateless buff.

Box of nickels I picked up yesterday was solid '05-P Buffalos. Weird to see a 7 year old box at a bank like that... Kept 'em.

 

Merc, I've spoken with several collectors that hoarded those 05 buffalo's case after case. Looks like someone finally gave up and turned in a box!

 

Don't look like they move much. The box was white and blue, with $100 nickels on it. No holes... I was expecting a box of '12-P's. Ripped it open to see all those buffys staring back at me. Was a little surreal. I'll probably hold onto it, it's just $100.
