Roll-searchers, post your results!

You are right, I was just posting in a hurry.

What coin shop was that? I only ask because you're the only other coin guy I know in my state.

 

I'll tell you elsewhere, OK?

Would rather not lose my edge with them.

I think I got the nice discount, because I've been in there several times and I was like their only customer in the days after New Years.

Also, all of the coins I buy are of nominal value. Never like buying coins. Like finding them.

 

Wow man what a score! I think I might be getting a box this weekend. Hope I have half as good as luck as you did.

I also like how you organize them in the plastic container with small compartments. Are those the ones they sell for fishing lures/flys?

 

Thanks! Actually that's just my foreign coins box (everything except for Canada, which requires ziplock bags). I picked up some storage boxes at Harborfreight for $3 each in December. I keep my nice extra coins in tubes and my near uncirc extras in 2X2s.

Been using the box top for a lap table so I can coin roll hunt on my couch.

 

my best find was a bunch of silver and BU 89-90 Kennedy half. I went to a bank and they had them all loose. My guess is some turned in dads coin collection

 

$100 in MWR nickels:

1942p war
1955

I'm satisfied

 

Picked up my 2 boxes of halves and 2 boxes of cents today:

Both boxes of cents are solid 2016-P. 2 weeks into the new year and I'm already getting solid date boxes...

2 boxes gave up 3 40%ers including a 1969S Proof. Also had a 1991D Mount Rushmore Commemorative Half.

 

2016P Cent

 

I'm an hour from Denver, but no 16 dated anything yet.

 

I bought 26 rolls of halves from the bank yesterday. I paid $260 but the teller made a mistake and gave me $100 back! The money will be taken back to the bank. Anyway, in the rolls, I found a 1967 P 40%, a 1967 P Proof 40%, and my first Walking Liberty Half (a 1935 D). At my dump bank later that day, they had a 1972 Ike waiting for me! Then I bought a box of nickels. It had an old, dirty, 1942 P 35% silver war nickel in it along with a 1938, a 1939, a 1941 s in AU condition. Not bad!

 

$25 BWR Cents: 556 coppers, 13 Wheats, 4 foreign. A little better than average on the wheats found, though nothing rare or unusual.

I picked up my next cent box from the CU on my way home from work. It must have been delivery day - the guy behind me was picking up two boxes of small dollars and one of quarters. Too rich for my blood, but good luck to all the hunters this weekend.

 

Hey Guys,

I haven't been on here in a few years, but I've been lurking again the last month or so.
I got out of roll searching for a variety of reasons, but I've had the itch and have been doing it again after a couple year break.
None of the old guys seem to be here any more, but I had a jackpot stop today and felt like I should share.
Stopped by a bank and a teller had $13 in loose halves, as well as $20 in large dollars. She couldn't have been happier to get rid of them and quit counting them each night - said she thought nobody would ever take the big dollars.
I've searched maybe $800 in Ikes over the years, whatever I've been able to find, but this is my first silver dollar find. First 6 silver dollar finds... and the halves were great too - my first Barber half (1907) found CRH, and the rest were mostly 90%, most of which were Franklins. So here's the pics!

26 more rolls. 1 1968 d half.

 

Wow! Great find, Lon!

 

Great find. Good to see you back. I remember seeing you on here before.

 

The SLQ could either be a '21 (semi-key) or a '23.

 

That barber looked VERY nice, I would like closer pictures.

 

How can you tell? I was thinking either 26 or 28. I know nothing about the series though which is why I am asking.
