searched another box of halves this week, no luck again this makes three boxes in a row that had nothing. I'm giving it a rest for a while. I'll try again in a few months.

Wait until January, when the kiddies spend their Christmas presents they should not for candy or something.

Searched $650 of halves. Almost total skunk. And it was a silver skunk.

Found a 1976-S AU Clad Proof, and two low mintage 1987-P BU and 2005-D BU.

Better then nothing.

 

My bank called me yesterday, said that a customer had just brought in $290 in halves and did I want them? As soon as I saw them, I knew that the rolls had been searched; machine-wrapped, opened, re-filled and tape over the end. I went through them anyway, found a few keepers to fill holes, but no silver, which I already knew. I've got $500 due in on Monday or Tuesday, I'll post results.

 

Girlfriend and I did a bag of 4000 nickels tonight and found only one silver wartime and 42 pre 60's. but it was fun. Has anyone found a 50-d in circ lately? Have yet to find one for my 3 sets Im building.

 

Got a couple rolls of halves, nothing. May be time to search out other banks,

 

OK. You got a girlfriend that helps you go through nickels?????

Keep your location very, very, very, very confidential because I think all of us guys are looking for such a "companion".

I dunno. Maybe on second thought, if my wife had the "addiction" then me and the family would be on the streets in a make-shift shelter made out of 2x2's.....

 

for the new year...

For the new year I plan on MAYBE searching through my 80 ounce pickle jars (empty). I have 5; 2 filled with nickels, 1 with dimes and 2 with quarters. They are just basic pocket change that I've been throwing in over the years. I skimmed through one of the nickel jars found a handful from the 40's and 50's. didn't think of remembering the dates so I just put them back in. Next time I visit my parents in the back woods of wisconsin I should visit the small banks in town. Really not in a great spot for any good finds being in Chicago. Most of the change here comes straight from the mint downtown. I do know of a bank here that has 0.50 rolls. just to lazy to take the drive

 

In my Dec roll search I found some good finds.

Cents
1-1920
1-1933
1-1935S
20+1950's

Nickels
1-1938
1-1939
1-1942P
1-1944P
1-1946

Dime
1-1946S
1-1947
1-1954S

But my biggest finds are these two I found in a antique coin bank I bought at a yard sale.

 

at work i cracked open a roll of nickels and they were all buffalo culls but a few had faint dates. i do every other day do find a silver or 2

 

Huh?
And you sound disappointed!

We all wish that we had luck like that.
Uh, are they hiring at your place?

 

they were all culls thought not much value, one guy had a bunch of silver quaters, the manager snatched them right up. yes they are hiring but the bs here is not worth it.

on viewing 3 rolls of 1938d Mrecury Dimes I found 3 of 150 that had a very tilted 'D' i would attach picture if anyone could till me how Jack

 

hmm well, i found a 1988 american cent with a DD on the D mint mark... is this common?

 

can you post a photo of coin? Jack cold too, i spent a winter at a pulp mill in Grande Prarie and the temp was squared.

 

sorry.. none of that makes sense.. hoed u know i live in grande prairie? waht a pulp mill?? jack cold too? what?

 

False Alarm No Dd

 

The Pulp mill was south of town on a river and at that time owned by P&G, i was a consultant from the Seattle area working in the lime kiln/liquor room section with a Mr Anderson. We then were put on a major project to expand the mill, later it was tabled, then i heard wey co obtaineded the mill. Time freme was 1988 to 1992 Jack

 

I need to hunt out new banks. Went to a ton of banks, and only found 2 rolls of halves. SKUNK.
