Roll-searchers, post your results!

I searched a few rolls of pennies yesterday, found two wheaties (1951 and 1955) and an uncirculated 1960.

Box #2 of Nickels
1 1945P
1 1996 20 Pence
14 Pre 1960 Nickels
10 S Minted nickels
1 1956P that looked uncirculated

 

I have been through 3 boxes of halves with nothing. Two boxes of Dimes with nothing. Finally today on my third box of dimes a 1944 Mercury and a 1958 Roosevelt! Hours of time and it was all worth it!!!

 

Gotta love it. Congrats on the Merc, some of the bigger roll searchers around here still haven't found one.

 

Yes, congrats on the Merc.....seems like many are finding those lately. I still have never found one.....ever.

Funny how the role searching luck changes. A couple of days ago, I lamented in this thread that I had not had one box of more than 4 silver halves in my last 30 and only 30 total in my last 30 boxes. Then yesterday I found 6 40%ers in a box. Well, I did one more box today:

3 40%ers
14 1964 90%ers.

What fun that was. I needed that. I actually had told my bank to cancel my order for a box of halves for next week because I was going to take a break. Well, I called today and renewed it. LOL.

.......finally!!!!


Also, I guess this is my countdown to 1000 silver halves found since I started doing this last year. 16 more to go and I'll hit that milestone!!

 

Wow, congrats on the finds. Posts like this keep me going when I think I've cleaned it out. I hope to hit 1000 in a year, boy would that be great. I really need to start finding some to make that happen lol.

 

$60 in halves today. Skunked.

 

tonight my wife and kids took our German Shepard puupy for a walk to get ice cream, I went in and paid when I got outside and looked through my change I got a 44 quarter and 51 dime. Thank you ice cream man

 

I'd be going back to that ice cream place and buying all their change, haha.

 

I would love to it's kinda funny cus the guy collects a few coins here and there and he must have just missed these 2 coins in the drawer. I gave the kids the coins they were rather excited

 

That same ice cream man showed me a 1928 walker that a kid paid with 2 weeks ago

 

Just so there is no misunderstanding, I've been searching haves now for 15 months......so it is more than a year. But 16 more to go.

 

You were due bob. Does anyone else picture bob looks like the first guy with the stash on his picture icon?

 

August Totals:

21 Silver dimes (# of Mercs ???)

5 Silver Quarters (3 1964, 1944S, 1944 [very nice ])

8 Silver Halves (6 40%, 1 90%, 1 Franklin)

Overall, a weak month. However, it's due to school starting, which has cut my hunting potential to 1/7.

 

LOL

I wore a stash for 25 years, but haven't had one for the last 3 years or so....

 

Nice finds everyone im going to trade a box of nickels today for another at a different bank the bank I got a ton of 2010P nickels hopefully I find something better.

 

Put 'em on eBay, they're still fetching a premium. I'm taking 10 rolls I found and selling them to a local coin dealer on Friday.

 

Did you see the mintages for the 2010 nickels and dimes in the Aug 23 CoinWorld? Both are like half a billion. I have no idea why these are fetching a premium on ebay. There will be tons of them everywhere. The 2009 coins are the ones with the (relatively) low mintages....

Found a 1936 Cent in XF.

 

I know, bob... that's why I'm trying to dump them ASAP. If they don't take 'em, I'll probably buy some more 2x2's and pay with 'em, haha.

I think you'll see the 2009's suffer from the same thing as the 1950 D nickel... known scarcity out the gate leads to mass preservation, which leads to it being "rare" but common.

 

Got a box of nickels and found the following

1 1944S
1 1943P
10 S mint nickels
13 Pre 1960 nickels
