No silver this week. I think my dog is going to be my "silver girl" next week.

 

its been slow on my end too

 

havent posted here lately but here is some

6 boxes of halves one day found 1 (68) 1 (67)

beats skunks

halves is all i do

 

Here is My find for the week, I purchased 4 boxes this week and the two I picked up today were real nice boxes not one Marked coin in either box. If 1997 BU were worth Money I would be RICH it had 12 rolls of them in the 2 boxes today. OH and I found a Token from the Century Lounge for 1 FREE VIP Dance

27= 40% & 1 = 90% and of coarse My Free lap Dance.

 

$10.00 in pennies
67 pre 1970
185 pre 1982
2 wheats oldest 1948
4 Canadian oldest 1962

 

I got a 1996 Philipines Pisa in change at Wendy's today. Not valuable, I'm sure, but still neat, right?

 

I forgot I also Found a Guardian Angel Token last week. The things that pop up in these rolls is crazy fun to find.

 

Slow month so far, all skunk boxes.
5 more boxes of halves this week all skunk. I have half box left for tonight, but doesn't look promising.

I hope someone is having some luck...HH!

 

I use peroxide to clean mine, usually works pretty good. Let soak for a while, you'll see the dirt just boil off them.

 

Ok - Box 3 of halves is done. Another skunk (as far as silver goes).

I did find the following:

2004 P x 2
2002 D
1986 D in unc condition with some nice golden toning
1987 D
2000 D in unc condition
1976 D in unc condition

 

No rolls at the bank lately, but they had 6 halves this past Friday, and one was a 1987-D. I was having big silver and proof strikes at this bank a couple of years ago, but lately they've only yielded the occasional 40%. This is the first NIFC I've seen since the proofs.

 

3 boxes of dimes:

Box 1 - skunk
Box 2 - 1 Merc
Box 3 - 3 roosies

Also got 2 quarters (44 & 64) & a 1975S Nickel from teller trays.

Well, even AOL advertizers are selling their news letter telling folks about buying silver by just asking for halves. I think there are a lot more people searching and a lot fewer being put back into circulation. And of course, what we have pulled out is not going back in again. I think the boom on silver halves is winding down. Still more to be hand but the mad silver rush has gotten middle aged.

 

another box another skunk I haven't seen silver for 2 months

 

Not too bad for getting two rolls of nickels from my local grocery store

1942 War Nickel

 

Searched $5 in BWR cents. Found two Canadians, coppers of course... and a 1969 D FS-901 "No FG." Pretty excited to have finally dug something out of the copper mess.

 

OK team!!! I came into this week 11 coins from my retirement milestone lol. I had planned on going out tomorrow dime searching to hit my number. One of my tellers calls me on her lunch break and says "Hey, I wanted to let you know I got in $140 in halves today. I opened some of the rolls to make sure the counts were right and a saw one of those old half dollars your son likes with the liberty bell on it and some other silver." Of course I run up there and buy them. Get home and son goes through...

Coin 4990 - 1968

DRUM ROLL...

SILVER COIN 5000 - 1964

5001 - 1967.

1 week short of the 4 year anniversary of roll hunting. Of course years 1 and 2 were the best and the last year has been pathetic and I really don't hunt much at all as it's not worth the time and effort anymore.

So I am going back into retirement unless traveling. Just too many searchers in this area.

Just to show you, I cut way back but only 406 of those were found in the last year and almost half of those (197) came in one weekend in Louisianna while going to the casino... Not much here anymore..
