They are soft plastic rolls, like this. Think shrink wrap.

 

Nice find!

 

1 BWR box of nickels, first I have done in over a month:

1 1939-S
7 40s dates
1 1953-S
2 1945-S

Do love finding two silvers in a box.

 

$90 CWR Nickels - a no date buffalo, a 43-P, and 23 other pre-60 in average circulated.

$50 CWR Dimes - 46 Roosie

After a 4-box streak of solid 2016 cents, I finally got a "mixed" box from my pick up bank yesterday. That makes me more excited than it probably should.

 

Just finished off my last box of Cents whilst house sitting. 18 wheatbacks and 18 Canadians, with 5 1970's non-proof S mints.

Check out this 1972-S!




OK that's enough teasing. The box had 2 other finds!!

1909 VDB, 1914, 1936, 1939, 1942, 1944-D, (2) 1945, 1946, 1946-D, 1949, 1951, 1952, 1953, 1956-D, (2) 1957-D, 1958.





Pretty good box!

 

That would be the condition of the coin. Who knows the history? I get MS pennies in rolls from time to time. Usually 1960's-1970's every once in a while 1980's. I think they must have sat somewhere all this time and recently been put into circulation. If you send them in to be graded, the grader does not know where you got it. I recently had a box with 5 mixed rolls with about 70% 1962-D's. How these rolls traveled together is a mystery.They all looked uncirculated although some were tarnished or stained. A few looked like proofs they were so lustrous.

 

The head teller at one of my pick up banks asked in passing if I'd be interested in taking $500 in halves off her hands yesterday. I assumed it was someone else's dump, but I hate saying no any time they set something aside for me. It ended up being 18 BWR and 32 CWR, so I crossed my fingers and dove in. It gave up 3 NIFC (2002-P, 2011-P (x2)) and a 1991-D hole filler. Feeding into the earlier discussion on marking coins, "Buffalo Boy" was well represented in the customer wrapped rolls.

$50 CWR dimes - Skunk

$76 CWR nickels - It was a pretty average collection of circulated pre-1960 coins until about halfway through the pile... then I hit two rolls that gave me this:


1913, 1914, 1915, 1916, 1917, 1918, 1919, 1920 (x2), 1921 (x2), 1923, 1925, 1925-S, 1926 (x2), 1927, 1928 (x3), 1928-D, 1929 (x2), 1929-S, 1930 (x2), 1934 (x2), 1934-D, 1935 (x4), 1935-D, 1936 (x3), 1936-D, 1937 (x3), 1937-D (x2), 1938-D, 1939, 1941 (x4), 1943-P (x3), 1946 (x2), 1946-D, 1949, 1953-D, 1955-D, 1957-D, 1958, 1959, 1959-D. That's a total of 33 buffalo nickels and 3 war nickels. They were all circulated, but I know my jaw must have dropped when all those buffalos started falling out of the roll.

Seeing a "mini horde" like that end up back in circulation always makes me a little sad... and makes me wonder what might happen to the collection I've laid in once it passes out of my hands. One hopes he's given the next generation enough information to know what they're looking at is worth something more than it's cash value.

 

And, if not, that it quickly falls into the hands of a worthy roll- or change-searcher...

 

So I've been going to the bank more and more often because I get checks from my new job. Last time I went I saw a wheat in the teller tray. I had to ask to switch my cent for hers... Turned out to be a 1942, but my mom was mortified, which i thought was funny.
Then today i went, and they had 7.50 in halves, but don't hold your breath they were all clad.
I have a box coming on Wednesday so that should be exciting... From the same bank that gave me 8 40% in on box. Hopefully some luck will roll over onto this box as well.

 

36 CWR Dimes yielded one silver coin.



15 CWR Nickels really had nothing of interest. All of the oldest coins were below collecting grade. There was a 41 and a 42 non-silver and a handful of 50's coins. I saved the 42, as I don't have a lot of those, but it's AG at best.

11 CWR Cents had 2 non-rare 1950's wheatbacks.

5 CWR small Dollar coins yielded a 1980-S and a Chester Arthur -P, both hole fillers for me.

1 BWR Quarters yielded the new Cumberland Gap -P, a hole filler for me.

 

A very very nice find!!! Congrats!!!

A nice NIFC 2006 Half ruined... SMH

 

$28.50 in loose halves - no silver, but a few keepers:

Uncirculated quality 1974, 1990-D, 1991-P, 1997-P, 1998-D - so often the 90s halves I find are banged up and weak strikes on top of that.

Also in the keep pile: 7 NIFC - 2003-P (x2), 2004-D (x2), 2005-D, 2006-P, 2008-D

Also got a 1971 Ike.

 

7 NIFCs in 57 coins is awesome!!! I went through a box of 500 last week and only pulled 6 of them.

 

I love finding ikes. They aren't rare, valuable, or silver, but the coin itself is just so nice to hold, and I almost never see them in the wild. Would love to come across a hoard of them somewhere... although i'd never be able to let them go!

 

AU 48-S wheat tonight... 1st image is taken from the cell, 2nd with the scanner... unfortunately, the camera on my cell is not the best and scanner doesn't do the luster justice.

2,000 cents searched today, 7 wheats total... 44(3), 48S, 52, 57D, 58D
2,000 nickels searched today, 16 pre-60s, 3 2009-D's... nothing of note.

 

I haven't CRH in a while, but I can share to you what I found in an unwanted pile of coins my mother brought in. 1946 D in an MS60 condition. surface luster, and little dents and scratches, I was thrilled!

 

5 rolls of quarters... nothing of note... now onto the the dimes... and then the nickels, and then the cents... haven't had as much good luck the past week or so as the previous one, so I went to five different banks and got coins from all of them... I'll be a busy bee tonight!

 

Did a bank search in a town I usually don't travel to, all CWRs
Found all Kennedys 22-40% and 6-90%, also a really nice 2007D and a 2000S(not silver) beautiful coin, a roll and a half of 1981D that look like they were just taken out of their USMInt roll. Beautiful luster. Best day I have had in a long time

 

What denomination was it?
