Pennies:
16 wheats with a beautiful, full detail 42s.
22 canadians
one 2010d
tons of possible dd varaties
1962 with possible grease filled die, rectangle impression on top of lincoln's head, but has detail . rim intact.


Halves
one 40%

 

Well the 3rd and 4th box went as follows.......Box 3: 19 40%ers, 2 64's, 1 Frankie and 1 Walker. Box 4: zero. Box 1: 20, Box 2: 36, Box 3: 23, Box 4: 0. Totaling 64 40%ers, 9 64's, 3 Franks, 2 Walkers, 1 Barber. 79 silver. Now that was fun!!!!!!!!

 

We just about had the same kind of luck bob! WoooHoooo!!!! I hate the Lakers though.

 

Bank only had 8 CWR cent rolls. Total 8 wheat cents, 1-1970 S large date ? MS red. 1 1997 offset repunch ? I have never seen this error exactly like this, s.o will ask about it in error coins as soon as I tsake a scan

 

3 rolls of halves = 2 1982-P no FG
$6 in cents = Red AU 1957-D Fine 1944-P plus some 60's-70's I still have to look through.

 

STRANGE Kennedy reverse

Found this VERY STRANGE 1971-D in my second box of halves today.

What is it? The eagle is literally bald and featureless and the shield is almost the same with just a few of the bars barely showing up. The overall condition of the coin is at least AU, almost UNC.

Is this a grease filled die strike? Anyone care to venture an opinion?

 

Probably grease filled die, as you said.

One box of halves today, shutout.
I did find in the reject slot 2 5 pence, 4 10 pence and one 500 Yen coins....

 

Yeah, that's what I thought. When I look at it, it sort of reminds me of the blinder caps that are used in falconry.

Looks like your luck is about like mine this week with the boxes. Finished up box 2 and got 2 40% and the coin pictured.

Better luck!

 

$9 in loose halves, 1-90%. $30 in CWR halves, 6-40%. $90 strings rolled halves, 1960-d Franklin and 1-40%. Any day finding a Frankie is a good day.

 

Our best day yet for my son and I on Friday. We were traveling between states so spent about an hour stopping off at various banks. Ended up getting $320 CWR at one bank, $90 CWR and $60 CWR and then a few loose. Nothing in the 320 or 90. The $60 in CWR ended up being 1 roll of nothing and 5 rolls of nearly full silver. In total there were 6 - 1964s and 91-40%s for a total of 97 coins. The loose had 1 Franklin and 2 Walking liberty.

I'll post photos on Monday when we get back.

Talked to my buddy in Florida who ordered another box. Ended up with 14 - 40%, 8-1964s and 17 Walkers (1918, 1919, 1920 and the rest in the 30s and 40s). Again I'll post photos on Monday. I swear there are more people turning in coins down in Florida. Every week they are having great finds.

Hopefully the rest of you had similar luck

 

Wow....Nice finds people......

My day today:
One box of Halves: Shutout (3rd in a row)
52 of loose and CWR: 1975 Medio Balboa, 1 1964, and 1 1959d Frankie in EF....a beautiful coin!!!! And, as stated above, any day finding a Frankie is a good day.

Also, the teller gave me a 1954 silver Rosie and I found 14 rolls of LP4. I hadn't found any of those until now (except for a couple of coins 2 weeks ago).

On the Frankin Half: Can anyone else tell a Frankie from the edge. When I open a roll, I can tell a 64 JFK from a Frankie while looking at the edge and wondered if anyone else can. I can't say what is different, but it looks different to me. I'm not right all of the time, but am about 90% of the time....

 

wow, i am about to move down to florida you can almost make a living off of this! this is the same guy that found a bunch silver, as did his dad in Michigan, right?

 

Like I been saying, Vegas must be the roll searcher capitol of the world ! I was amazed at even finding a Wheat ! I have not gotten a single item of silver in a year now. Maybe it's time for a Florida vacation ? LOL

 

Yep..

Maybe it's time to start a "CASH FOR SILVER!!!" mail order business.

 

Yes, Florida seems to be the hotbed but it makes sense due to all the retired persons in the area. They have been around long enough to have all of those coins and being on a fixed income they are going into reserves more frequently with the economy. If you go back and read this thread from the beginning, Florida always produces the most consistently "Great" finds.

Searched through my wife's change jar, found my first ever steelie, pretty cool! Was a 1943 D in darn nice shape for being zinc covered steel and that old.

 

nice find, i never found one in circulation.

 

Yes, this is the same guy that was making the finds in Florida and his father was doing great in Michigan as well.

 

It sounds so strange to hear that. When I started my collection (such as it is) in 1957 we used them all the time. Called them "Lead Pennies" because they were the same color as the pencil leads we had in school. Then, because they were only minted in a single year, I started hoarding them. Even put some really nice ones in folders, etc. But you are correct about finding them in circulation. I haven't seen 1 in decades, I think.
