Hi Ace and good to hear from you. Let me warn you that dimes in NYC have become very difficult (for a family site).

$90 BWR/CWR nickels - dateless Buff, high XF 39, 40-D & S, 41-D & S, 48-S and 50.

 

I had to work for my halves today, I had to make a few phone calls and got ahold of the guy who forgot to order my halves last week. He apologized and told me to come in Thursday. I'll have 3 boxes of halves and 2 boxes of dimes for Thursday and Friday this week. Tomorrow is a dump day and loose halves from teller trays if any.

Good to hear from you Ace, Dimes have been OK for me. They kept me afloat while I was going through some supply issues with my half dollar supply banks.

Box of Dimes - 3 silver roosies (54'D, 59'D, 61')

Box of Quarters - Skunked

 

I don't know exactly where you are located, but I see you're in the northeast. I know a bank in NH that has probably a box or more of halves on hand, I just have no luck when I go there and search through them. I am the type that likes to scoop up what tellers have in their trays because that is how I find all my silver. I have searched through a lot of BWR and I have found 1 half in doing so and its puts a sour taste in my mouth. If you want to take a shot at it, Ill let you know where the bank is if you're in the area.

 

Welcome back, Ace.

Hit about 30 banks today, didn't find much, just 1 40%er out of probably $250 in CWR's. Did pick up about $30 in ikes, pulled a single, nicer '72 T1. Dropped by a grocery store (y'all should really remember to check the grocery stores.. I mean, the customer service desks, not banks inside them) and they had a single ike and a single half... both 40%ers! Proof bicentennials. Asked if they had any similarly shiny quarters... boom, 40% silver bicentennial quarter, lol. Gotta love grocery stores.

 

The local dollar tree gets them a lot. The manager said she's going to save them for me.

 

Well, box of halves - 40% (x2)
This branch has Dunbar delivery whereas my reg branch uses Garda. Either way, I'm still getting the long yellow S&S boxes...so I guess they're still coming from the same place. I'll contemplate about adding this new branch to my list of p/u's since it is further away.

I did get another call this afternoon from a TD teller in the Valley that has more CWR halves tucked away for me. I like this! Boy am I really seeing the importance of making special connections with certain staff. Made sure to pickup some candy and Dunkies gift cards to pass around too.

 

Today's results:

$5 Pennies: 117 copper, 1936P in EF, 1940P, 1946P, 1950D, 3 X 1958D, a 1957 Canadian. And five extra.

$20 Nickles: 1940P, 1941P. And one short. The Coin Gods giveth, the Coin Gods taketh away.

$20 Dimes: Skunk.

$300 Quarters: Skunk.

$200 Not-Ike Dollars: Buchanan P hole filler.

 

Box of Halves: SKUNK

 

Four boxes of halves: Nothing. Six more boxes this week, hope I got the skunks out of the way early.

 

Ugh! I wish you good luck on the 6!

 

4 boxes of halves - ZROW
box of dimes - 51' roosie
Getting 4 more boxes of halves this week and I'm gonna try a few more boxes of dimes.

 

December's first Box of Halves was a skunk.
Box #2 of Halves: 2-40%.

 

Box of halves - skunk
Box of dimes - 1 roosie

 

Wonder if these are from someone's collection?

I found all of these from the same CWR. Couldn't believe they were so clean (especially the 1963). Makes me wonder if these belonged to a collection or cleaned well or even dipped. What do y'all think?

 

Dropped off a bag of $1000 in dimes, asked for halves and large dollar coins.
$1.00 in halves - skunk
Picking up tomorrow, Friday, and Saturday

I haven't been picking up dimes at my local wells fargo branch because they had nothing but solid 2012 boxes. Finally stopped back today after giving them 4 weeks off to work through the new stuff and was able to grab a box of circulated dimes. I was able to get about half through the box at lunch. It was still thick with 2012's but I was able to pull out a nice 1950 roosie. Hopefully there's more in the other half!

Edit: Just the one. Better than zero!

 

Halves: $40 CWR - 1982 Proof

Dimes: $245 CWR - 2 silver roosies (46'S, 64')...pic below

Pennies: $31.50 CWR - 9 Wheaties



Dumped and picked up another box of Dimes since they have been good to me lately (honestly would have picked it up regardless)...happy huntin' all!
