I got a box of halves today but it was a square BRINKS instead of the "flat" box that they usually have for me, not a good sign. So I got home and opened it up only to find out it had already been searched, the rolls (black and white brinks) were still bank wrapped but whoever got into it cut the paper down the edge and then taped the rolls back together. The only thing worth mentioning is my first gold plated half find.



I don't know what was worse, going through a box I knew had already been searched or knowing every single one was attacked by a utility knife. :rolling:

 

thats lazy stuff right there. stupid people in this world.

 

Box of Nickels: 178 pre-1960 (2nd best box ever), 1943S War.
Lowest Mintage: 1957 plain.

2013 Goal: 365 Silver Coins
2013: Day 75
Silvers Found: 92

Differential: +17

 

Probably just searched the edges. Lazy way to do it in my opinion; they were just searching for silver and absolutely nothing else.

 

5 cwr of halves... one 40%.

 

I just went through two bags of halves!

(The bank I order from gets bags, not boxes. Still $500 a pop)

Bag 1: Nothing. Zilch. Nada. Dohh!!

Bag 2:
5x '64s
5x 40% halves
1x Statue or Liberty commemorative (not silver, though)
2x 1943 WALKERS


ohhh my god

 

$25 box of cents:
18-wheats
3-canadian
17-s minted cents

 

I'm working on a Box now and 3/4 of all the half's are plastic coated, WTH is this never seen any thing like it and the 2 silver I have found so far are coated too. Anybody ever see this kind of mess before? OH and i have a gold one like the others posted on here and it is some type of coating too.

 

pictures please

 

Got 43 Eisenhower's today in good shape

 

2 boxes half's got 1-64 1-68 and a lot of Marks Coins, I mean a lot. They must have missed these, the boxes had more felt pin marks then any box I have had and some type of coating. I would post a pic but I don't think I'll will show up as it is clear all but one that is gold like the ones posted a few post back.

 

Box of Nickels: 131 pre-1960 (3rd best box ever), no Wars.

Also found a token.
Front: Dewey House Park; Back: Good for 5 cents trade.

I'll upload a pic later.

$32 CWR Nickels - 43p 11 pre 60's
$50 BWR Dimes - Nothing

 

Boxes 29-40 of Halves: 4-40%. Enough said.

 

I thinking about searching boxes of nickels.... What are the top 5 things ( you ) look for , besides the war years?

 

Ouch! Seems like it is dry for everyone right now.

 

Personally, I Look for 38's and especially 39 D and S. Also, 50D. There are a few doubled die years. I have had decent luck finding several 55 D/S. I basically keep any pre 1960. You never know when you may find a rare variety in a common date.

 

Box of halves - '73S
$90 dimes - skunk
