I try to go through about $100 a week. Usually takes around 8 hours.
Thanks! Yep, all from the bank. I got pretty lucky on all those red cents from the 1930's, found them all in one bag last year sometime.
I say the same thing to my wife over and over again... she doesn't see it that way, and still insists I'm "buying" all sorts of coins from the bank.
Here are some images of the wheats in an album. As you might guess, I'm trying to complete an entire set from circulation. Probably never...
Thanks! I think the large number of Canadian cents is due to a lot of Canadian tourists in my area. The Misc. coins are panama 1 centisimo...
Hi All, After searching through 200,000 cents ($2,000) since the first of the year, I thought it'd be a good time to summarize the results so...
FYI, I think the prices in the cherrypicker's guide are incorrect, Ken Potter says something to that effect on this webpage:...
Last week I went through a bag of (US) dimes and got two just like the one you show, both from the same year. Must be a fairly common effect,...
I think an interesting thought here is the canadian $5 maple leaf one ounce silver bullion coin. Those were _definitely_ around when an ounce of...
Trying to respond to the 38D thread by Victor in the numismatic resources section; don't have sufficient permission but perhaps it was mis-posted...
Nice! Been in a bit of a dry spell myself.
No, they are definitely a different size- see attached images of alternating Franklins and 1964 Canadian 50 cent pieces; the Canadian ones are...
Great finds! I'm a bit surprised at the canadian half- they aren't the same diameter as US halves (unlike cents, nickels, dimes, quarters). Were...
I think it must have been in someone's "coin pile" that got cashed in... there were also a couple buttons in there too.
Thanks! I assumed it was a 1 reale since it just says "R" but after looking at a few photos online the 1 reale actually says "1R". What an...
Title says it all- I bought a bag of dimes from the bank on Thursday, and in addition to the G-VG 1929-D Mercury dime, this 1 Reale from 1782,...
I've also noticed that many 1972 (especially Philadelphia) cents stand out more than any other year of the memorials as having particularly large...
Nice! Especially the 1982-P is tough to find in nice shape, in my experience. I can't remember if you've mentioned it, but do you look for the...
Actually far more damaging would be the salt used as an abrasive...
Wasn't by any chance Van Metre auctions in Marshalltown, was it? I've had that exact same experience there- interested in common date Peace...
