I keep my dateless ones, a coin store I go to will buy them for 7 cents, so its something at least.

$500 in halves, nothing but dirty paws.
$100 in nickels:
2 40s S mints
4 40s
$25 in cents:
11 40s and 50s wheats
1 1943 GVI cent from Canada

And the joy of finding a 1945 Washer when I deposited them back into the coin machine at my Credit Union.

 

What do you estimate the 1945 Washer grades?

 

What's a washer?

 

Washington quarter

 

Prolly fine or so. Just like having 70 year old silver babies.

 

Today's bag of nickels yielded these. Also got 23 pre-1956 nickels, not a bad bag, the buffalo is better condition than I normally find.

 

But the third child results in far more work for mom and dad because the parent:chid ratio is no longer 1:1...makes finding time for CRHing a challenge!

 

Two boxes halves: 5- proofs (1973S, 1981S, 1983S, 1984S, 2005S); 3-1987D; and 93- NIFC (mostly 2010-D and 2010-P). And a gold coated 1983P stamped 1960 and 1980 on either side of Kennedy's head at the chin/neck. Anybody know what that one signifies? Two weird boxes!

 

Another day with halves, only $10 CWR worth but...

2 1969-D

More nickels, these are $100 in BWR
2 1939
1 1939-S
11 40s
1 Mexican Peso 2007

Cashed in the coins at my credit union and churned out the following from the reject slot:

Canada 85 cents, ie three 25c coins and a 10c coin
Cayman Islands 25 cents 1990
some game token...

And a 1947 silver Roosevelt dime.

 

Finished off a box last night that had 16 wheaties including a 19, 25, 29D, and 35S. Also found this neat strike through.

 

It's not every day you find this in a roll of halves:

 

$100 BWR 5 cents:
2 40s S mints
16 40s
3 '43-P silvers, finally the silver drought in nickel boxes is broken!
1 '83-S proof
1 2009-M Spanish 5 eurocent

$25 BWR 1 cent
1 1938
7 40s
4 68-74-S

 

Ok am I the only one with horrible luck on nickels? 4 boxes and no war nickels. I really don't even like searching nickels but now I just want one so it's all I bought for my weekend CRHing. I've found 6 buffalo's (I know...Crazy...5 were in the first box) and I just found a couple 40's dates in near ms condition.

It's driving me nuts though. I just need one so I'll have one now. Once I get it I'm going back to dimes n halves only.

Anybody else having same bad luck?

 

I usually get at least 1 War nickel per box; probably a little bit less, but it seems to average out to that.

 

I go through little droughts, then I will get some box that has 3-4 of them.

Searched $60 in CWR 5c this morning:

1 Dateless buffalo
1 1939
6 40s dates

Have another $45 in CWR cents for later.

 

I opened the next box and found 2 in the first few rolls! Faith restored.

 

Two boxes halves: three proofs-1992-S, 1994-S, 1995-S; ten NIFC.

 

NumisRookie it seems to me that you're actually having *very* good luck. Buffalos are harder to find box hunting than war nickels. I've been through a lot of boxes in the past 2 years... also finding mint condition 40s coins is rarer still. Stick with it.

I had a slow week, didn't do much hunting, just a box of pennies, box of nickels, $100 in BWR quarters, and $50 in customer rolls (various)....

... but had a nice finish! Found 3 proof coins!!! Well circulated, but slot fillers! 1981-S Quarter (from a Loomis roll), 1981-S nickel (customer roll), 1999-S nickel (Loomis roll).

I know!

Someone in my area must have dumped a 1981 proof set. I haven't found the dime or penny though. No proof dimes in my collection yet.
