Box #73 of Halves: 4-40%
Box #74 of Halves: 8-40%, 2-90%

I'm going to Europe for the next three weeks, so I'll post my monthly results now. You can be sure that I'll research their silver coins while I'm there.

July Totals: Oh What A Month!
$37,000 searched plus some loose rolls.
130-40%, 104-90% and 0 dimes
Monthly Percentages were waay above average: 1.757 40%/box 1.405 90%/box
56.843 OZ of silver. Almost double my prior record month. Even with the price of silver at rock bottom, that's more then $1000!

I wish you all much success while away and hope that when I get back I'll read that everyone has found monster boxes . (I doubt I'll have any time to log on)

 

I guess that you are happy!

 

Box of dimes - 2 roosies

 

picked up $25 CWR pennies at lunch today. Went through one them of them in the car and it had 43d ender. It's only my second steel cent ever. It's not in the greatest condition but it was still cool to find. Looking forward to going through the rest of the rolls tonight.

 

That's neat, I thought that you couldn't find any steel pennies any more, but I must have been wrong.

 

Yea, I haven't had much luck finding them. This is actually the first one I have found in a roll. The other one I have I found in the reject slot of a coin machine at a bank. I have found and IHC and 5 V nickels searching rolls before I found this steel cent.

 

at the bank today to do actual banking and asked as I always do, for halves and Ikes. they said they had some Ikes in the vault, I said I'll take them all, they brought out $700, whew so, got some searchin to do tonight.
Just hoping it isn't all someone else's dump.
7 loose halves from drawer, nothin

 

Went to the bank and bought $78 in CWR nickels, haven't searched yet. Asked if they had any halves - "only four of them - please take them..."

So I did - 2 1967, 1 1968-D and one 1969-D.

Also got 6 Ikes.

 

I'm half way though my $200 in cents for the week. So far I've pulled 52 wheats (oldest 1935 - lame), a struck through die cap - 2000 I believe, and a 1976S Proof (my 2nd cent proof in almost $3k searched).
I also searched $100 in quarters and got a White Mountain-P. Now I all I need is a Chaco Culture - D to be up to date. Did $200 in dollar coins and got skunk from it.

 

well we found 3 strange colored dimes not silver but interesting enough to keep. my Gf found a 2010 5 pence puzzle piece coin today. I will post pics tonight.

 

Nice. When I had my layover in Heathrow the other week I tried to get all the pieces but I didn't manage to get the 5p or the 50p.

 

here's the 2 copper looking dimes and 1 blue green 1 that has artificial toning written all over it. and the U.K. puzzle piece coin.

 

box of halfs skunked but metal detecting has been good. check out my fines in metal detecting

 

Finished all 8 boxes of cents. Not the best I've done but not terrible either. 90 wheats (oldest 1935-blah), 36 Canadian, 1 Norwegian 50 ore, 1 2000 WAM(my 17th), a 1976S Proof(2nd cent proof), and a 2000(?) Struck through die cap(2nd). Also, 3 of the wheats were pretty nice; not great but pretty good for circulated.

 

End of last week I did the following: $8 CWR nickels - one 43-P

box of nickels - 48-D & 53-S

That box is the worst I've had for nickel boxes in terms of keepers, but I'm glad I stopped and got that $8 of CWRs on my way home from work. That 43-P finished a roll (40 coins) of war nickels.
