Final search for January. Box of dimes - 1920, 1962D

 

My CU got my order today. I guess the Loomis driver put my order in the other truck yesterday. According to the vault manager they should have things finally straightened out and I should be good to go from now on....We'll see.

Did 4 boxes of nickels tonight:
Box 1: 1 Buff(dateless), 1 war(43p)
Box 2: 1 war(43p)
Box 3: 1 war(43p)
Box 4: 1 Buff(ender/28p)

4 of my 8 penny boxes are showing wheat enders so I'll keep my fingers crossed for some good boxes.

 

Is it just me, or is it when I CRH there's always hair in my rolls. Especially CWR's

 

Picked up 10 rolls of nickels from my CU yesterday. I usually get customer wrapped but they were out and offered up 10 fresh, bank wrapped from Dunbar. All rolls appear to be near-BU 2005-D and 2006-D. Opened the first five and stuck the rest in my stack in their original wrappers. Hopefully they'll make some roll hunter a happy camper many years from now.

 

$8 halves- 15 40% and 1 90% !!!
$100 BWR dollars- 1 cleaveland 1st term
$50 CWR quarters- skunk
$100 ones- skunk
$150 twos- 1 1953A, 1 1928G
$20 CWR nickels- 1900 liberty, several pre-1960 jefferson, 2x dateless buffalo

 

Sorted through $20 CWR of nickels from a different CU... at the bottom of the 9th roll, all lined up for me was a 39, 40, 41, 42, 46, 47, and a 43 with that nice big "P" mint mark over the dome. I can't help but be curious how they all ended up there together amongst a bunch of 21st century coinage.

 

Found a 1936, 39, 56 wheat cents, three pre-60 nickels, and a super shiny 1961 nickel. (i'm 99.999999999999999999999% sure it was a proof)
Update: forgot to open some rolls. Fould a AU 1935 and a 1938. (smells like a collection someone dumped)

 

What does skunk mean?

 

Skunk=no silver

Nothing

 

I love finding Franklins. I have 4 that were spent at the store that I work at: two 1952s, a 1953-D, and a 1959-D. I like the way these coins age. They look great with a little patina.

 

dont know if this counts, but i shoveled my grandmother's driveway and she payed me with 10 1921 morgans

 

must have been a heck of a long driveway...

 

$64 in CWR nickels:
No silver
9 pre-1960 including 3 x 1939 all in the same roll
22 pennies (11 all in one roll)
And like mentioned above, quite a bit of hair.

 

22/40 nickels in a roll were pennies? That would get me angry.

 

These were CWR nickels. Three bundles of 10 rolls each, plus 2 more rolls. Can't really tell if they were all from the same depositor or not, but all of the pennies came from the same bundle of rolls. Six of those 10 rolls had pennies, and the breakdown of pennies in those was 11, 4, 2, 1, 3, 1.

I don't get angry at stuff like this. In reality, the pennies mean that my "cost" for CRH this day was increased by 88 cents. Honest mistake or not, it's no biggie. Since my goal is to pay face value and find coins of greater than face value, I'd be angry (at myself) if I sold a 40% or 90% half to the bank for face value.
