Merc, that 1942 Walker looks to be in pretty decent shape for being in circulation! Very cool! I am thinking XF-ish? Pic is kind of fuzzy.

Soooo

Normally I don't find much of anything in the rolls I pick up Sunday, but today I found this:



That leaves just 5 left for my Jefferson album: 38D, 39D, 50D, 43D and 44S

 

I went through 15 BWR of pennies today. I found a worn 1916D and a 1933. I still have half of the box to finish. I wonder what else will be in there?

2 boxes of dimes: 1 merc and 3 rosies.

Also as a graduaion gift my grandma gave me a box of coins It had a 1993 ASE, 5 silver quarters, 20 wheat pennies, 6 indian head cents, an uncirculated steel cent PDS set, a 2 dollar star note, a railroad flattened cent, and a small handfull of foreign coins. That was probably the coolest gift I ever got !

 

box of dimes
$100 BWR dimes
$50 BWR Nickels

All skunk.

 

Let me give a little recap of Fri/Sat

Started out very nicel with 5 Roosies from a box I posted that pic of. Then it was down hill from there. I searched $1150 for dimes for 1 Roosie and 1 Merc. Boy I really thought I was going to be off to a good start for the month.

Box of dimes - Another Skunk - 3 in a row
ARGGGGGHHHHHH
HOTN

 

$750 dimes.

Box 1 - '46, '64D
Box 2 - skunk
Box 3 - skunk

 

Box of dimes gave up a '65 80% canadian, a '68 50% canadian, and a '90 five pence. I've never had multiple foreign silver come from a box before!

 

I just did two boxes of nickels and I can't believe I didn't get a single war nickel o well but I did get a 1983 proof a one pence coin some pre 60's, 10 2009d's and a nice 38s for the Whitman

 

Box of dimes - '46, '43

 

I did my first search ever of a half dollar roll and dime roll and got nothing special, but i did get around 4 bicentennial halfs so its not all bad lol

quite exhilarating though, searching lol

 

Jackpot!

It's been a LONG time since I searched a roll of dimes. Went to the bank today and picked up 10 to sort through. 3 rolls in and JACKPOT! A 1941 Mercury, and a 1963 and 1964 Rossie that appear to be proofs!!

I was beside myself. I never have sent a coin in to be graded, but I think the Roosie Proofs are going to be my first. Any advice on how I go about this?



Nothing showed up in the remaining 7 rolls, but I do feel that finding these 3 dimes in one roll is indicative of someone dumping a collection.

It's off to the bank for more dimes!!

found my first wam! It was a 2000. Sorry about the terrible blurry picture, but I wanted to show some kind of picture. Any idea on value? I'm guessing its at least an AU-50

 

Box of halves - skunk

 

I did 1 box and a half of nickels and got these beauties.:yes:

 

Picked up a box of halves today and when the first 4 rolls had at least one coin with a black dot on the face, I pretty much knew I was wasting time. Skunk. Same with a box of nickels last night.

Good news-I received a call from a local bank for a job interview as a teller. Not exactly what I want to do with my college degree, but I figure I can score some good stuff this way while I work on finding a better job.

 

I thought I was the only one doing this, guess not so. Today's batch yielded just one wheat penny, a few coppers.

Did have extraordinary luck one time. I went to the bank to buy rolls, the line was long. The guy in front of me had a box, looked heavy. Figuring on saving us both some time, I asked, it was rolls of coins, I got them. He said they were his grandmothers, shehad a jar of coins for years, was moving, etc. He didn't want to use the machine as they always charge 10%.

Although no rare dates, pennies all wheat a dozen War.
Nickles were mostly old, a third or so War, a few buffalo.
Dimes all silver, one merc.
Quarters all silver, two Liberty standing.

$199.75 in face value worth of good stuff. One quarter roll was one coin short, the cheat.
