Found this 99 roosie and weight is not different but it sure looks like copper/missing a layer.

Jiminy but 40 rolls of pennies is a LOT.
Might hold me over the weekend since looking at them ain't a full time project.

 

calishield, I dig up dimes quite often that look like yours. My guess would be it has been underground for a while.

 

Thank you very much, bhh

 

If these guys could talk... what would they say?

 

2 boxes of halves produced nothing but 2 spray painted gold halves. I have one more box for the week tonight. Hopefully I can pull some silver. Might go teller tray hunting tomorrow.

 

"NO, don't scratch me, it'll get infected! Ow! Ow! Oooh, I don't feel so good..."

 

For me teller tray hunting for halves is much more profitable than MWR. I have pulled exactly 0 silver halves from MWR. From tellers I have gotten 4 ENTIRE rolls of 40% along with a Walker and a 68 D loose. My plan is to take a day off work someday soon and start in the North and move South and hit every branch of every bank where I have an account. (Would probably be about 20-25 branches total) And just go for teller halves.

 

They would say, "Something seems wrong with Bob." The other would say, "New Glasses?" Then the first would say "No." Then the other would say, "Probably misses his old glasses."

 

$20 BWR dimes: 2009-D

$10 BWR nickels: 1950 (P) - hole filler! Other than that, an unexciting lot - 1946 (P) & Canada 1982

$5 BWR pennies: 1939, 1944, 1957 (x3), 1957-D, 1958-D, 1968-S (x2), 1971-S, 6 Canada (oldest 1963)

$2 loose halves: nada, but I bought a few the other day and got a 2009-P hole filler

 

In my experience, if done in bulk, MWR Halves can pay off big time. I do 3-4 boxes a week. Others do way more. I would but I don't have enough dump banks to use. I will only dump $500 in halves at a time.

 

I'm sure if you can do the quantity you are talking you will eventually hit an unbelievable score that would make my best finds look as pitiful as a soup sandwich. I've had several banks offer to order boxes for me...just never got around to doing it, plus you have to tie of at least $500 for a time. I have gotten hundreds of dollars of MWR from the headquarters bank downtown (They have MWR in the vault) and I have gotten squat out of those.

 

Out of 40 penny rolls I'm going to trade out 22 tomorrow after work. Made up a roll of nice copper and one of UGLY copper.

 

MWR can be a bear at times. I just did two more boxes right now and nothing. My worst skunk streak was 16 boxes in a row. It's that one box that does it though, like you said. If you are doing well with loose and CWR that's awesome. Keep doing it. I just have so many competitors where I live that CWR and loose stuff is usually a dump. There are the exceptions though.

 

Trish at the Customer service window had two dollar coins.
A Sac 2011D and a 2009D Polk. I don't yet know if it's better than mine. And at our bank the teller had an Ike.1Ike.1974D.
The reverse is basically flawless. The obverse has a problem or three. And I'm back up to 40 rolls of pennies with one down at this time. Three nickel rolls down with zip.

 

About $55 in halves... nothing.

 

box of halves was a skunk. That's 5 skunks in a row. Ugh.

 

On the back of a 1982P large date. When do you reckon Cicis did this?

 

I posted this news on another site, but want to ensure all you good folks are aware this is possible if you're persistent:

just walked out of a bank and feel like I robbed it. The teller had 36 large dollar coins. As she was counting them out to me I immediately noticed one was special, so when she left her station to ask other tellers for halves, I snapped this photo...I am thrilled!

1923S

My first 90% silver dollar from CRHing

 

You're the man berto. Seriously.

$42 dollars in nickels. 5 pre 1990 and one 2005 with a pretty decent reverse and an.obverse that's worse than a soup sandwich.
Also$10 in MWR halves. Nothing.
