Box of Halves- skunk

 

There aren't, far as I know.
fish, great find. But are you sure they aren't all 40%?

 

They did not make 90% bicent halves, only 40% ers. Still a great find, put it in a 2 x2. Looks like someone dumped a collection.

I guess it depends on where you live. Around here (less than 2 hours from the canadian border), canadian money is accepted most places at par these days. It's not uncommon for me to pull $1+ per box and $5+ per coin counter bag in canadian. The teller at one of the branches I pick up my coin counter bag told me that their counter does have a magnet to catch canadian, but they usually just pull it off the magnet and throw it in the bag anyway. I don't feel the least bit bad about returning it to them.

box of dimes - '64
$460 BWR halves - skunk
$5 teller tray halves - 2x40%

 

Sell them on ebay, you'll get close to face if you pay for the shipping so you'll be out the ebay/paypal fees and that's about it. I get alot of the Canadian I have for free from the magnet. The next time I sell I will take the money and buy silver, then it will be like free silver!

I saw two guys behind me at TD this weekend with big coffee cans full of change. I wanted to wait until after they were done so I could check the reject tube, but I was already done and thought it would be too strange to do something like that. I bet there was silver in those cans of change!

Youre 100% correct . My bad , it is a 40% . Thank you guys for the comments .

 

Started with this:

Ended up with 2 walkers, 1 Frankie & 4x40% total for the box of halves.

A good box, but based on what it showed, I was hoping for more.

 

Inq,
Yes, still a good box, but I would have thought it would have had at least 10 silvers in there.
Thanks for adding the pics in the end roll thread, I love seeing enders.

I read what was posted a few pages back about the magnet but when I looked, I couldnt seem to get my hand under the plastic tray on the top of counter. I was using the Penny Arcade and pulled out the metal tray but under it, mine had plastic that seemed to form a funnel, and in the bottom the coins fall out and spin and get counted. Do you have to reach way around under there? I kept poking around but didn't feel anything. Thanks.

 

Ski,

Pull out the metal sifter that you pour the coins into. Set it on the machine and drop a coin through so you can see where the coin comes out. Put your open hand in where the coin came out palm side up and go up towards the ceiling not into the sifter. Feel for any coins that are "suspended" so to speak and stuck to the magnet.

A couple things though, watch for sharp objects! People put all sorts of crap in there and it gets stuck to the magnet. Also, someone else may know about the magnet and be cleaning it off before you get to it and that is why you are not finding anything. Maybe bring a few Canadian with you so they will get stuck on the magnet and you can pull them back off.

Merc wrote a good post about it a while back. I think it might be in the Reject Tube thread, I'll have to check.

Box 3 - 1x40%
Box 4 - 2x40%

I've never found so many foreign coins in boxes

 

Thank you. I'll try again. I saw that post, that's what started my mini obsession with the magnet. I figure if I can't find any silver, I might as well get some foreign stuff. Good luck to all!

 

Box of nicks, 1 buff ('20, I think, acid dated.) and 1 war.
