Roll-searchers, post your results!

Stopped by a BofA I have never been to this afternoon on the way to pick up some organic fruit from the hippy store. I asked for a box of dimes and cents and then asked if they had any halves. The girl had $110 and the guy next to her had $380. I didn't have enough to get all of it but I picked up $300 worth. They were elated to be getting rid of them. Every roll was marked with a date and mm and sure enough that's what was in them. All except one...it was a different type of wrapper and wasn't marked. Inside?

5-64's including a gold one - looks toned not plated
12-40%
an 87D
and a couple of random clads. You bet I will be going back in the morning to pick up the rest.

As I was leaving the girl told me that another teller who is opening tomorrow has about $600 worth too. Fingers crossed!

good luck!

 

Went back and cleared the bank out of all their halves. $820 worth of CWR gave me a 73s proof, a few NIFCs, and zero silver. Meh, I'll take what I can get though.

 

Bank forgot mine this week...

 

Dumped the leftover halves at my pick-up bank today specifically because they let me buy bags from their machine. It only took $40 to fill the bag so I bought it off them. Glad I did

2 Walkers (41d, 43)
5 Kens (64x4, 64d)
17 40%(66x3, 67x3, 68dx5, 69dx3)

A nice little 5oz to add to the pile

 

1 box of halves
2 40% (67, and 69)
1 Proof 2009 (beautiful coin!)
20 NIFC (a lot from 2011)

 

The past month has been one long cols streak for my CRH efforts... until today.

I picked up 20 rolls each of CWR dimes and nickels. I got skunked on the dimes and thought I was going to get skunked on nickels until I hit rolls 16,17, and 18... Here's what they had:

Roll #16: 1939, 1940 (3), 1940-D, 1941 (4), 1941-D (2), 1942 (2), 1942-D, 1943-P (10), 1944-P (5), 1944-D, 1945-P, 1947, 1949, 1949-D, 52-D, 54, 55, 59, 59-D

Roll #17: 38 (2), 39 (2), 40, 41 (3), 43-P (11), 44-P (7), 44-D, 45-P (6), 45-S, 48-D, 54, 54-D, 55-D

Roll #18: 38 (9), 40, 41, 41-D, 42-P, 43-P (9), 44-P (5), 45-P (4), 46, 48, 52, 58-D

That's 61 war nickels from 3 rolls. I guess someone got $6.00 cash for grandpa's collection.

 

$4.50 in loose halves:

1 40% (1967)

 

Nice Haul!

 

In last 15 boxes of Loomis halves---ONE 40%.
More depressingly that is one out of 15000 coins.
Or, even worse, .1479 ounce of silver out of about 170100 grams of coins(15000 x 11.34g/coin)
There must be an easier way to make $2.46 (silver at $20.02/ounce minus the cost of the coin).

 

2 Boxes of halves (that a poor befuddled bank took 3 weeks to deliver) - Skunk and skunk.

 

I just imagine that every half dollar I get is worth at least $20K.

 

Nice finds, especially the V. I found a 1912 V at work several months before I found any buffalos or war nickels.

 

Last week I got to work and there were 9 halves in the drawer, mostly from the early '70s but there was one 1967 that I spotted right away.

 

$7 loose halves out of the cash register at BSA camp (they wouldnt sell me full rolls ) - one franklin! (1963D)
$40 CWR halves at BoA- 1968D

 

$40 CWR nickels - 44-P & 37 Buff

 

2 Boxes of halves - 1- 40% in each box. A 1966 and a 1968.

 

4 boxes of dimes:
1 Roosie(62)
1 Singapore 10 cent
1 shaved cent

Lame.

 

2 boxes of nickels:

Box 1 - 1 pre-6o keeper, 3 canadian
Box 2 - 1 Dateless Buff, 6 pre-60 keepers including a 1950P(If only it were a D)

Not great results.

 

Now that I'm back in the routine, here's my take this week -

$20 CWR Nickels:
- 40 (x2),41, 47, 48-D, 49, 55-D, 58-D, and 1944-P
- Canadian: 69, 97

$100 CWR/BWR Mix Dimes - Skunk

$25 BWR Cents:
- Wheats: 38, 49, 50, 53, 57, 58, 58-D
- Canadian: 74, 80, 94
- Pre-83 copper: 517
