Final two boxes of the year - one was a skunk, the other had 1-90% ( a 1954 Benjamen, very worn and dirty). There was $4 in NIFC, including 1 2013 on the end of a roll (same box as the Benji, that's never happened before), as well as a 1972 S.

End of year totals out as:
Bank 1 - 28 boxes
Bank 2 - 16 boxes (not an amiable relationship and didn't last long)
Bank 3 - 28 Boxes
Bank 4 - 20 Boxes
Bank 5 - 51 Boxes
Random teller trays ~ $10K (Yielded the most silver by far on a dollar basis)

Longest skunk streak was 17 boxes.

I have 13 full rolls of 40%, 3 full rolls of 90%, about 2 dozen proof S (various years), literally hundreds of dollars of NIFC (I've sold roughly $300 of them already), I have about 2/3rds of a tube of foreign money, 1 foreign silver coin (1953 Cuban), and 1 1969 S (which has very marginal numismatic qualities). The boxes are running about 1 40% per box and 1 90% about every third box.

Oh, and I lost all the silver except for the one I found tonight in a large body of water during a tragic boating accident.

That's it for the year.... See you on the other side of the calender change. Good hunting.

Box of nickels - 40-S, 41-S, 44-P, 48-D, 53-D (Unc), 56 & 57.

 

Are you serious? If so, I am so sorry.

 

That's a popular saying among stacker folks on certain websites. I can neither confirm nor deny ownership of any precious metals.

 

I finished the 12th box of cents for the year this evening and the results are in:

- 11 Wheats: 1945 (x2), 1951, 1951-D, 1952, 1954-D, 1955, 1956-D, 1957-D (x2), 1958

- 1 each 1959, 1959-D

- 5 Canadian: 1943, 1977, 1981, 1988, 1992.

- 545 copper cents

The '43 Canadian was my first pre-Elizabeth find in general circulation, so I'm going to consider it a worthwhile box. Planning to pick up one more box before Christmas and then call it a year. I'm starting to enjoy this new hobby.

 

$36 nickels - skunk
$100 CWR dimes - 64d, 87 CND

 

2 boxes of nickels tonight: 2 war(43p, 45s), 1 proof(08s), 1-09D, 16 pre 60 keepers, 3 canadian, 1 bermuda.

 

2 more boxes - 2 more wars(43p, 45s) 3-09s, and a few more pre-60s.

 

I just pulled this 1939-P out of a roll:



I also found a 1946-S in a pile of change a customer spent.

 

as we say in California, ever since the gold rush, "Eureka, I found it!"
Extra sweet, supper neat, what a feat, hard to beat.

 

Actually, that was the quote from the famous mathematician Archimedes once he discovered how to find the volume of an irregular object. However, it works with many things including coins.

 

Finished off 4 boxes of cents lastnight: 42 wheats, a 1958 canadian, and a lonely 2000 WAM (my 31st).

 

and the California state motto, referring to the old gold rush. : )

 

$200 in BWR halves - no silver, 5 NIFC
$10 loose halves - 1980S deep cameo proof. That is one sweet looking coin!

 

I say "eureka" a lot when I find things that I have "misplaced" (lost) or if I'm looking for something.

2 boxes of halves - I was hoping Santa would bring me some silver, but instead he brought me two skunks guess I was a bad boy this year.

 

Hit 6 banks today and could only scrounge up 5 bwr of halves and $2 in loose. 5 rolls were skunks of course. One Teller had rolls but told me the rolls had just been returned from another roll hunter so I might not want to waste my time? I thanked her for the heads up and moved on. Seems my area has plenty of crh'ers lately as I've run into stuff like this a lot lately..... Gettin tuff out there boys!!!

good luck..........
