My CRH setup and process - what's yours?

Along the way I picked up a couple of upgrades, like this 1895-O. They were broken free and added to the group, along with the TPG label.







I like the older albums for the older coins but mostly use the Danscos for the "more" modern ones.

It took over a month getting through all of the Roosevelts, especially the recent years. It gets to be a bit of a grind towards the end, but still tons of fun.

Quarters coming up next - it's a lot of fun seeing everyone else's finds, will share what I get soon; I have a lot of quarters to go through, and with all of the varieties they take nearly as long as all of the others combined.

 

I've got several rolls of 1964-D quarters that I set aside to search for varieties. At this point I don't even remember what varieties I was supposed to search for. But at $11 each melt value, I'm guessing those premiums are disappearing, too...

 

When I started doing the cents just after the first of this year, I figured for sure I would get through at least the quarters by years end. Well, that didn't happen, but at least I'm getting started. I ended up with two full coffee cans so for grins and giggles I put them on a scale to figure out about how many I have to go through.







63.8 pounds, at 5.67g each that's about 5,100, 127 plus rolls. Here we go!

 

Have fun! 8 days until Christmas~~

 

First week of November I visited my local bank here in Florida. Looking for nickels and dimes. Turned me down flat for coins. ‘We don’t have any coins for customers’ They know I always bring 99.44% back in a couple days. Didn’t matter
I have checking, 2 credit cards, and a personal line of credit
Capital City Bank CCBG
Get all you can as soon as you can
I’ll be with another bank after Jan 1

 

I used to go through boxes but stopped in the early aughts when I started travelling for work. Since I only get a couple rolls of each every few weeks my bank (Chase) has not denied me, at least not yet. I hope you can find one that will work with you.

 

Finished up about 18 rolls worth, but before I get into those, we have two quarters that the wife found in the last few years at the grocery store self-checkout. She finds 'em, I keep 'em, it's a great partnership!

A 1944: I believe these were the highest mintage of the silver George's until the 60's releases, about 104mm.



And our only W so far, a 2020 Weir Farm

 

I started with 10 CWR, and about halfway through there were nothing but culls, and ugly ones, so I figured they must have been part of a return dump. Then, within about 10 coins there were 2 clad proofs!

This 2012-S Denali saw some circulation, no original luster to speak of, still nice.



The 1982-S must have been released recently, more mirror image in hand than the obverse shows, but the reverse pops pretty good. I thought for sure it was silver until I checked the reeding, still cool to find.



I would post this 1991-P on the error forum but it's so minor, I doubt I will even keep it. A small die crack on the reverse through the T in UNITED.



Not a bad start, plenty more to go!

 

So, I am now over halfway through this batch of quarters, and after finding those proofs in the first few rolls it's been skunksville! No silver, no Ws, no proofs - not even any near uncirculated older coins, usually find a few worth keeping.

Oh well, that's the way it goes sometimes. I've still got a couple thousand to go through, hopefully the tide will change.

 

Absolutely LM - definitely not complaining! I love finding those wild gems.
