boxes of halves.

My last 3 boxes had no silver at all!!!!!!!!!!! But I don't want to give up. Does the contractor who rolls the coins have anyway of searching for silver???

 

Found in one roll of lincolns: 2 formative years cents. Nothing unusual about that, they're all over the place around here. However one was a DDR(CDDR-001) and the other was a "whiskers" die clash.

 

box of cents

Searched a box of Lincolns today. Here is what I got.

Ouch Lincoln.

 

how much is a box of pennies ,dimes etc

 

well my results today on 30 rolls of pennies 1 cabin 3 wheats 41 45 55 the 45 completes my shell casing set now i just need to find that increasingly elusive steel penny and ill have completed my war years set anyone else doing rolls of pennies i love reading those results

 

I just finished 20 rolls. 2 wheaties - 47D & 52D plus 5 Canadians. Got some spare steelies if you want one. No mint mark tho. Still need an S myself to make the 2nd set.

 

i have never searched rolls before. i am looking at some halves, but my bank will have to order them and get them in. that said, is this generally the case? along those same lines, is it just pot luck with these rolls? is it generally the case that the rolls ordered from the bank will be machine rolled and therefore yield less than one would expect from rolls that the bank may get in normal circulation?

sorry for all the questions. this seems like a fun idea, but given what i have read here, i do not want to go into it expecting too much.

thank you

 

I seem to do better with custimer wrapped rolls, but it takes more time to hunt them down. Maybe try all the banks around you and after you get all the ones they have, get some ordered. The only time I did boxes, I got 4 boxes and it yielded 2 %40 halves.

 

Which steelies do you need?

 

I went through a box of halves and found nothing. Today when I returned them, I had just dumped $50 of them when the coin machine stopped. The half bag was full. When they unloaded the bag to my surprise was 50-60 silver halves. I think they were 40% halves were they weren't as white as the 90%'s. I pleaded with the head teller to sell me the bag. I guess they changed their policy two weeks ago and can no longer sell them to costumers. They have to sell them to Lomis. I believe her because she never even looked at the bag other than to seal it. :-(

 

So I found myself with 10 rolls of pennies and a little free time at the office this morning Yield - 3 Wheat's (48 -cleaned (for the love of Lincoln people! Stop it! ), 52d & 54d and what looks like a 59 D/D (cant tell for sure till I get home)
