<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Merc Crazy, post: 1163105, member: 27417&quot;]I see I got mentioned by name.&nbsp; I&#039;ll run down the list...&nbsp; Bear with me, this&#039;ll be a long post with some crappy pics, but eh...</p><p><br /></p><p>Cents - 3 &#039;09 VDB&#039;s, the nicest of which is a solid F, low-end VF.&nbsp; 1922-D in AG was a great find too.&nbsp; 72 wheaties in a box was cool.&nbsp; But best single coin find was this;</p><p><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v300/dvmaprezson/Coins/1999WAM.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>1999 Wide AM, probably in 63-64 RD.&nbsp; $500 coin to the right buyer.&nbsp; Turned down an offer of $350 before.</p><p><br /></p><p>Nickels -Hmm, I&#039;ve found one V-Nickel, that was cool.&nbsp; I found 14 and 16 Buffalo Nickels in back-to-back boxes from one bank, all with full dates.&nbsp; By far my best find in terms of quantity.&nbsp; I&#039;ve found nearly 100 war nickels, too, one time found 5 in one box, 4 in a couple... I pulled 8 out of a $200 bag I bought off a bank last week.&nbsp; Single best coin, though....</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.cointalk.com/attachments/100123d1288321698-dsc02558.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://www.cointalk.com/attachments/100124d1288321704-dsc02552.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>&#039;31-S Buff.&nbsp; Probably about VF.&nbsp; Second lowest mintage in the series.</p><p><br /></p><p>Dimes, oh dimes... I love searching dimes.&nbsp; I almost always find some silver.&nbsp; I&#039;ve found numerous mini-hoards of dimes in boxes and whatnot.&nbsp; I&#039;ve never found a full roll of silver, and I&#039;ve probably never found anything worth a substantial amount over melt.&nbsp; So mostly, hoards.&nbsp; Two stand out, the second box I ever opened and a bag I bought at the same bank where I got the bag with 8 war nickels.</p><p><br /></p><p>Not bad for my second box ever...</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v300/dvmaprezson/Coins/27.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>And the bag was fantastic.&nbsp; About $635 in there, IIRC, and I pulled 60 silver dimes out of it.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v300/dvmaprezson/Coins/IMAG0163.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v300/dvmaprezson/Coins/IMAG0164.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Quarters... Never had much love for them.&nbsp; I&#039;ve pulled about 1 per $1k searched, and they were all Washington&#039;s, and none in very good shape.&nbsp; Suffice to say, I don&#039;t have anything to show ya there.</p><p><br /></p><p>Halves... My best finds have actually been recently.&nbsp; About a month ago I picked up $3 loose from a bank, all clad.&nbsp; Asked if they had anything in the vault, they did.&nbsp; 4 solid rolls of 40% silver.&nbsp; Just Tuesday, I went to a local bank that has usually held some solid rolls (11 1964&#039;s in one roll was awesome) and picked up 2 rolls of 40% silver.&nbsp; All for face value.&nbsp; Best single find?&nbsp; 1916 walker in FR-AG.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v300/dvmaprezson/Coins/IMAG0137.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s on the side there.&nbsp; Just enough of the date left to see the bar of the 1 and then the full 6.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for dollars, I&#039;ve never found a Peace or Morgan, or Trade, Seated, anything like that.&nbsp; I have found three 1971 Type 2 Ikes, though.&nbsp; One that would grade AU that I sold, another that is AU, but damaged due to a scratch, and one I&#039;d grade at MS63.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
