    Truble, yes, your finds and your pickup and dump setup are remarkable and enviable. I just want browsers to understand how rare your productivity truly is so they don't get the wrong idea.

    I wish you the best

    Dagnabbit! I was doing a Lupe search of my collection of nickels. Found THIS in the 76D Flip.

    While it is about as close to proof as you can get notice it is 78D. Which means now among other things I need a 76D find.

    Found my first war nickel in the remainder of the rolls (all loomis), a '43-P. Also found a '40 and, weirdly, seven '41 nickels but nothing else from the 1940s. I opened a couple of the cent rolls and two were solid 2017-P, and the other had the ugliest, gnarliest, corroded penny in the middle of all the bright shiny cents.

    I had just started the second penny roll when dinner was ready.
    Then we watched two Price is Right, then I shaved and showered and 4am will be along before I'm ready for it!
    The first roll got me to 51 coppers.
    Back to it after scrubbing and buffing the floor and whatever else I'm told to do at work.

    4 banks on the far side of town tonight had $30 in MWR halves and $140 in CWR halves:

    0 in the MWRs
    4, 40% in the CWRs

    I finally found something worth keeping, phew...I'm relieved!

    I got Tuesday off. Once I begin getting a paycheck I could use that day to hit some banks closer to Houston for halves and dead president coins.

    Got this out of a roll yesterday. It has been in acetone overnight.

    Just fished this out of a Loomis nickel roll. 2017-09-15 15.40.33.jpg

    A well worn but absolutely readable 43S!
    I expect I'd have to pay quite a bit for a better example.

    4 banks tonight yielded only $5 in halves with nothing remarkable.

    On the bright side, the branch manager at one of them swore she could order large dollars, so I ordered $1K. She said she would know by next Tuesday whether or not their coin courier has any. I won't hold my breath.

    When my eyes clear up I have 3 rolls of pennies to go through.
    Then I'll take 10 penny rolls and 10 nickel rolls to the drive through at the bank. And Monday I'm going to find out if the store ever gets halves or Dollar coins.

    Don't know if this is good or not ?? 1 box of pennies - I've only sorted by year. I didn't realize how many badly damaged coins there would be in a box - 100's

    I'm brand new at coins - i.e. The first box of pennies - I'm mildly addicted lol

    The Bob, nice Indian head cent!

    Given the relatively high number of steel cents you found, I recommend you order boxes of halves from the same bank. Your finds may be very good as a result of the coin courier's equipment being so loosely calibrated.
