Skunked on $80 in nickels, a combination of CWR and BWR. A few pre-1960 keepers but nothing of note this week.

 

Three boxes Loomis halves:

Box 1--- One 40% and a very nice 2014-P
Box 2--- Five 40%, one 90%, a proof 1979 (got tossed back...pretty nasty)
Box 3--- Five 40%.

All boxes had NIFC's in them, but I am getting pretty fussy on the ones I keep.

 

$1000 circulated twos - 1x 1928, 4x 1953, 2x 1963, 1x 1976 with the first day postmark
$100 CWR dimes - skunk
$400 BWR quarters - 1x 1958
$500 BWR halves - 1966, 1968 x2

 

most have no idea what they cash in at the bank.I know a guy who cashed in 100 face value in mercury dimes and bragged about it said he got rid of all that old foreign money once he described the coins to me i knew what they were

 

I wish I could have been there for that conversation.

 

yea i was like i would have bought those from you

 

Nickels: 1 book filler - 1955 (P). Also 1941, 1946, 1949, 1954-D (x2), 1957

Pennies: 1 wheat (beat up 1955), 3 2009's, average pct of copper, plus these two oddities:

1980 with a screwed up "0", and a Lincoln Cent from 198 AD! Unbelievable that it's still shiny 1800 years later. The reverse shows similar patterns of wear, but still shiny with no evidence of cleaning.

 

$25 BWR Cents:
- Wheats - 26, 29, 30-D, 40, 47, 44, 46, 57-D
- Canadian - 43, 65 (x2), 81, 2002
- Coppers - 470

 

Went through $3500 in dimes today, got 12 silver out of it, not the best for 3 and a half bags, got 2, 3, 4 and 3 in the half bag.

 

Not the prettiest Barber ever found CRH'ing, but it's a first for me, and I think she's beautiful (especially for a 100-year-old broad...even if she does look like a guy... a guy who's been through a world war... twice...)

 

Get the hell out......... that's not a guy on the obverse??? That ain't spose to be Lady Liberty is it? Then again..... "thee" first Bruce Jenner maybe?

 

@charlietig, truth is often stranger than fiction.

"All three denominations of the Barber coinage depict a head of Liberty, facing right. She wears a pileus, a crown fashioned from an olive branch, and a small headband inscribed 'Liberty'..."
- Wikipedia

And just for fun...

A barber half is an impressive find, ive found a few barber dimes in the past but never a half or quarter, quite the find.

 

About $75 in halves, loose a cwr.
1 40% in the rolls and 19 40% in the loose. All '69.
Also picked up 81 ikes.

 

God after 10 years of collecting I never knew that. lol

 

One box of nickels ($100) Three 35% and two buffalo.

1935 Buffalo
No date Buffalo
1943P
1945P
1942S

 

A box of nickels this morning, few finds - but being one for quality vs. quantity I am pleased:


The only "common" coin that was a saver is the '41 nickel, the rest are cooler, but the Buffer just about made me soil my breeches. It is the earliest dated Buffer I have found, and is my best smaller denomination find in over a year.

Later on I searched $40 in nickels from a bank closer to where I work - one find only a '42-P. BTW I don't save '50s dates unless they are 50, 51 and the S minted coins.

I was telling the vault teller about finding the '14 - she said she would love to have the time and patience to search rolls of coins, she is a bit of a coin collector herself. I told her I don't have time or patience, mine is more like an addiction that must be fed.

 

Not a find, but did some crop dusting today....released some dateless buffalos, and a few liberty nickels back into the wild...tired of tripping over them

 

I still keep dateless buffalo nickels, the coin dealer I go to buys them for 7 cents so its still something.
