Roll-searchers, post your results!

It is highly unlikely a contractor (armored car service) to The Fed would pull silver coins from the coins they happen to be delivering. It is likely bank tellers are removing the silver coins before the armored car service receives them to reroll them and deliver them elsewhere. My grandmother was a bank teller for 27 years beginning in the 70's. She, like many others, pulled a remarkable amount of silver during her career. This is common even today.

totally counts as CRH even if it isn't rolls.
nice find!

 

I don't think so since my pick up bank uses brinks and I still find some silver. Not a lot, but then I would not expect a lot.

 

I think we are re- searching these halves an awful lot. My last batch I notice a LOT of coins with rolling machine marks. the round grooves near the edge of the coin. Some even had the marks on both sides! These marks can only be made on one coin out of a roll at a time, or at most 2, one on each end. Also, a lot of rolls do not have a mark on either end, so not all rolls get these scratch marks.
so pretty much every roll I search now has at least one marked coin and I have seen as many as 8 in one roll.
These coins are going to be worn out not by pocket circulation but by CRH'ers circulation!

 

That's a problem!!! Have you tried going to a different bank or something. Lol its not very productive to search the same coins you dump!

 

yes of course, I pick up at one bank and deposit at a different one. I also make sure my pick up and deposit banks use different transportation carriers.
you just have to home that some new coins (re: ones you want) get mixed it with each cycle. A few do, that's why we keep doing it, but some of these coins are really making the circle a LOT of times : ) as evidenced by the multiple rolling machine damaged coins

 

One of the tellers in my local bank takes all rare coins and bills before the public gets a shot at them. He told me I will never find half dollars or eisenhauers in his bank. Ass.

I ordered a whole box of halves a while back. Fully half of the box were 71s or 76s that were so worn they were illegible. No silver. Not even a single rare coin.

But... I keep looking. I think I may order my next box of halves at a branch office in another state.

 

It's ok man keep looking! I've had those days where I'm like, is this worth it? One day you'll find something amazing! I would stop going to that bank if i were you @Christobal

 

I had a good box of halves yesterday, got 8 40% and 1 Franklin in a box, and in second box I got a clad proof, Got $214 in halfs from one of the banks also while I was at it and got 2 40% and a walking liberty. Not bad for one day of halves. Halves really are not my main thing, but I am trying to find a bank that will let me order more without changing a fee per box.

 

I found this 1996D Lathe line cent. I believe it's the 1996D-!CLL-015.
I had never heard of this error before but I was referred to Jason Cuvelier's site

2400 in halves. 3 40%, 2 proofs, 1987, 9 other NIFC, 2 gold plated (why do they do that) pretty slim pickin's. Sometimes it is just a grind.

 

So a year or two ago I got a haul of a bunch of BU cents which I just put into full rolls and a big box, I didn't search through them for errors.
Now that I had some time to search through them I think I found a 1970 S small date penny
Plz tell if it actually is a 1970 S small date and if it is should I get it graded?

 

Large date

 

yea, sorry I have to agree, large date. Still a nice S mint find.

 

2 boxes of halves. One 1964 90% in each one. Also found a nice 2004 S and 2001 S. Nothing else of note.

 

Ok thx guys

 

Barfly, I consider your finds in two boxes better than average...definitely better than my average, congrats!

 

Not exactly from a roll, but while turning in 4 straps of Ones I asked the teller if they had any halves. "No but I have an Eisenhower dollar." It was actually an 1882 Morgan.



In the straps I found only 1 common star and a near partial ladder, 2009 1$ A01233456A

 

Two boxes halves: 90%- 11 Bens (52D, 59, 60D, 61, 61D, 62, 62D-2, 63D-3), 5-64.
40%-23. 1987-P. Proofs- 1971, 1986 Statue of Liberty Commemorative-3 (first I've found). NIFC-8.

 

Now thats an impressive find.
