I figured it might be. I found it in a bag i bought from a bank. There was alot of other old world coins i have yet to find out their country of origin or face value.

 

2 loomis boxes of halves, both skunks.

 

I bought a box of dimes from my local bank and found 2 silver dimes and a merc dime all in the same box. Best that i have ever done with a box of dimes.

 

went to my credit union today to deposit a box of nickels and I asked if they had any rolls of halves. She said "yeah, how many do you want" and I told her all of them and she mentioned they were from the Mint. I thought "arent they all..??" I was thinking the Fed, not mint. So i didnt think anything of it until she brought 5 rolls out.

Uncirc. rolls of halves. 2001, 2006X2, 2009X2

 

I've gotten those before. Don't open them, they do go for a premium.

 

how much does a roll of half $ cost if you get them from a bank?

 

$10

 

Nice finds. I had a teller tell me the same thing and I got excited. The rolls she plopped down were brinks

 

$2.50 in halves from teller trays - skunk.

Box of dimes, a 1964 roosie:

 

Not a CRH find, but this seems like a good resting place for this story. I work for a small (250M$ assets) bank, at one of several branches. The lead teller at a different branch, who knows I collect coins, with a question about a quarter she rec'd. She told me it said "head quarters" on it, and I asked if it was a state quarter, she said yes, Arkansas. I asked if it was raised, and it was. I hung up and google'd it, only to find out it was the Clinton-Lewinski parody coin. She took this with mild disgust and a lot of laughs. I guess it just goes to show you that letting people know about your passion can lead to a whole new source of coins!!

Kinda had to fight to find a branch to give me a box of dimes today. Finally got one at almost the end of the business day. It was worth it, had a '36S and a '42 merc!

 

While dumping a few rolls of halves today I picked up 4 ikes. One is a bicentennial clad proof and the other is a 1973d nifc. The first 73 I have found.

 

Two boxes of halves: One 64, one 40%, one magician's coin, and a 1939 Australian penny
$200 CWR halves: Nothing

First box finds in a while. Since July, I think.

 

Box of halves - SKUNK

 

Box of dimes - 4 roosies.

 

1) Box of nickels = 1942p war and misc 1939s-1959s
2) Box of nickels = 1943s war, 1955 in great shape, a 1969 Belgium Franc and misc 1939s-1959s

 

That actually looks like a '55 D or S, can't tell. Look for the over mint mark variety.

In case you can't tell, I bought both of the Cherry Pickers Guides last night, haha.

 

I found it late last night so I'll have to take a closer look with the microscope. Thanks!
