Nice score on the Barber!

 

Those two boxes last night that were heavily marked with blue were both producers.
Box 1 - 8 x 40%
Box 2 - 3 x 40%

I have not had boxes like this since the begining of September!

The skunk took a pass...

box of halves - 1 90%er, 1 40%er

 

No roll searching today, but I bought a 1923 and a 1924 each Peace dollar, $45 for the pair. That's below melt so I was pleased.

 

$22.50 each, wow. Go and sell them on CL for $30 each to someone and then go getyourself another two Peace dollars, a half dollar, and maybe 2 dimes.

I was thinking about it! I think I could have got them a few bucks cheaper, but for $22.50 each was a steal as it was. I got them from someone on craigslist. They even came to me at my work.

 

Wow, even better. Buy them all, I'll front you the money and we can both benefit.

Today's rsults:

$8 Nickels: Skunk.

$40 Dimes: 1 Canadian.

$130 Quarters: Skunk.

$46 Not-Ike Dollars: Chester A. Arthur NIFC, hole filler. 1 roll, the rest loose, opened the roll, dumped everything out, so can't be sure where it was.

 

I went back to the see if there were anymore cwr of dimes from the one roll score yesterday. There were 4 more rolls. It was worth the trip. The teller said the person had dropped of quarters as well but they were already gone. What could have been?

3 Mercs
12 Roosevelts
2 pennies
5 Canadian

3 rolls of nickels... 2 Canadian and 4 pre 60.

Here are the coins from yesterday as well.

 

Box of halves gave up 1 x 40%

box of dimes - 3 x rroosie
I'll take it. Upped my order at this bank to include another box of halves for next week.

She only had two or I would have cleaned her out for sure.

 

$1100 in loose dimes gave up 7 roosies, a 1965 canadian, and a 1983 clad proof.

 

$30 CWR/BWR nickels - 37 Buff (Fine), 43-P, 44-P, 52-S, 48-D and 2x51.

The best part was the Buff and Wars came from the same BWR roll and it was the first one I opened.

 

Box of halves seen something thru peek hole, no silver found but here's some pics

 

I have been keeping pre 1970 Nickels when I roll search, I decided today that I just want to keep the pre 1960 ones. Going to the bank today to dump some nickels and 4 rolls will have all 1960's in them (minus 1964). I know its nothing special, but it would be nice if a roll hunter would find those just for a quick thrill.

 

Box of Nickels: only 19 pre-1960 nicks (lowest I have ever got); however, there was a 1943P War Nick. Also had 2009P Nickel and 9 Canadians (most that I have gotten from a box).

 

1 box of pennies
Wheats 160 oldest 1919p ,three whole rolls were nothing but wheats
7 canadian

10 rolls of nickels
6 pre-1960 53d,56d,2 57ds 58d,60d,

 

Box of halves - 40% (x2)

 

Well, beginner's luck seemed to come-and-go over the past week as I hunted halves and dimes. Well, I picked up 1/2 box of halves yesterday and I am worried that it'll be hard to top this one! In the 25 rolls I bought, here's what I pulled.

1953-D Ben Franklin
1964-P JFK
40%x18 (yes, 18) JFK ranging from 1965-1969 (image below)

Needless to say, I was waiting at the door once the bank opened to claim whatever was left of that box. Turns out only one roll was removed leaving a total of 24 more rolls available. Because the bank associate who has been scoring me all these coins is also a collector, I told him what I pulled and offered to split the remaining rolls with him. He seemed hesitant until he looked down at one of the rolls. The ender was quite shiny so I said, "go ahead and open it, I'm buying it anyway". Well, it was another '64 JFK and there was a 40%er buried in that roll as well. So, he opted to split the rolls. Anyway, here's what I scored from the second set of 12 rolls I had.

1964-P JFK
40%x7 JFK

Oh yeah, I pulled 3 proofs (1973-S, 1976-S, and another I don't recall), 2x2005-P, 2x2005-D, 1x2003-D, 1x2004-D, 1x2004-P. I think I've cashed in all of my luck for a while!
