Roll-searchers, post your results!

Had to go to the bank yesterday and asked the teller if she had any customer wrapped halves. She had one roll and I found a 1964 Kennedy...whee

Yeah, I was pretty psyched with the first liberty head nickel. I found the second one after only about 10 rolls total. With 30 rolls to go, I was thinking I might find 6 more!

If you're ever satisfied, you're not a real coin roll hunter...

 

Has happened to me. Someone else's searched rolls. Some weren't even full rolls! And the boxes were sealed when they arrived.

 

I’ve had that happen a couple of times as well. Not sure quite what to make of it. Laziness on someone’s part maybe.

 

My third and last box of halves that accumulated while I was on vacation and out of town for work held:

1, 40%
1, 90% JFK

I’ll happily take them!

Tomorrow is coin deposit day for me...not certain whether my standard 2 box is order was made given the head teller at the bank I order from is still on vacation, but I’ll checkin at my order bank as usual on Wednesday and find out.

If the box was sealed and it has rolls that were wrapped like that then someone had resealed the box at the bank of before they turned it in. Most likely at the bank. Those are not machine wrapped and would not come from a company like loomis.

 

The one and only time I picked up boxes of halves (two of them) from a bank they were customer re-wraps. All of the rolls were thankfully full. Finding boxes like these is not necessarily a bad thing in the sense what one collector saves another may not. The re-wrapper may not care or know about saving 40% halves, proofs, NIFC dates, errors, varieties or older halves in high grade of condition.

In my case I didn't find any silver but I was able to assemble a few good rolls worth of BU (or nearly BU) 1983-D halves from going through the two boxes.

 

No no and definitely no

Let’s get a pic of the pennies.

 

Picked up 3 Loomis boxes of halves late last week. Went through them today, darn near a skunk except for a lone 1963-D Benjie. Also found 5 NIFCs. Starting to pull back a bit on the boxes, maybe just get 1-2 per week instead of 3-4. Pickin's have been slim, will stick with the occasional teller halves and half bags though.

 

Deposited a bunch of junk halves this afternoon, then headed to another bank to make a deposit. Of course, I also asked for halves. The teller rustled up $3 loose (nothing), and $170 CWRs. The CWRs were odd because they appeared recently rolled but in a variety of papers. I had bought all the halves this bank had about 16 days ago and found nothing, so I found this mixed batch of CWRs truly odd. Anyway, there was a silver half scattered here and there among the CWRs:

6, 40%
1, 40% ‘68S proof (my third) in great condition
1, ‘63 toner Franklin with full bell lines



I won’t complain!

 

Nice finds no issues with finding a Franklin those are becoming harder and harder to find.

 

The last 6 rolls of the current penny box only gave me 3 keeper copper and all the rest goes back to wild.
Found a really worn and ugly 1919.

 

That actually looks like on of my old dumps! (my rolls were not shorted though). I found it more of a waste of time to re-wrap them in new rolls rather than reusing the original one. Got pretty good at it too after some time.

 

The first 6 rolls of my new box aren't doing much better than the last rolls of the last box.

 

Well next time don't be so stingy and leave a little sumthin' will ya!?

 

3 banks tonight yielded only $7.50 in loose halves:

1, ‘68D

A teller at one bank has $90 in halves, but the teller wasn’t working today. I’ll try to be first in line to pick them up tomorrow!

 

What would you like? A few NIFC's maybe? Sure. I have enough already.

 

508,000!!!
I reached the 500,000 half dollar point this week. with 14 Loomis Boxes. I was shooting for 20 but bank three forgot this week, a rarity. Mixed 60/40 on the skunk scale, along with a sealed Loomis box that had rewrapped Brinks rolls in it. No shortages just a pain to have to go through that box, because I dump in a Coinstar and not return a full box to any one bank.
