Overall a great day of searching!

 

That was a GREAT cent box. Congrats!!!

 

I agree Ive never found 2 1910's in 1 box those are great finds

 

I got a roll of quarters the other day and found 27 bicentennials.
Not exactly a good find but I thought it was interesting.

 

5 banks looking for halves and searched one box.......nada.

Going to the coin show tomorrow (small one in the south part of Houston), and will get another box of halves.....hopefully, a better coin day.

 

I'm so glad I found this site...very cool. I'm glad to see that others are finding good stuff. I have a local gas station clerk who always comes through with at least a small handfull of wheat cents for me and just the other day I found a 42P nickel sitting atop the misc. lincoln cents in the 'give a penny, take a penny' dish on the gas station counter. At a different gas station up the street I was getting some things and I saw a wheat cent in the same kind of dish on the counter. I picked it out and noticed another one...and then another, and another. I asked the girl if I could trade my regular memorial cents for them and she goes, "Do you want the rest of them?" She opened up her register and handed me about twenty more. Apparently someone had given her an entire roll of 'em the previous day. About two weeks ago at a nearby bank (Bremerton, WA) I was buying rolls of cents to search through when I noticed a Franklin half sitting on top of the teller's loose change deal. I got that for fifty cents and then found an 1888 Indian head in the rolls I searched that day. The '88 was in great shape, too...maybe VF+. I'm usually pulling anywhere from 8 to 20 wheat cents per 50 rolls searched. Just the other day when searching four rolls from a gas station I found a decent 43D Lincoln. I also have a nice Garrett detector and have had some luck with that also. However, the best cent I've held the last couple of days I could only WISH I had found. I was visiting my girlfriend's family here in Sequim, WA and her uncle started telling me about his '09S VDB he was auctioning on ebay. He said it was at 800 with two days left on the bidding and that it was graded at XF+ when he bout it for about a hundred bucks in the early sixties. So he's telling me about this and then asks if I want to see it. I didn't know he had brought it with him, as he had traveled 3 hours from his home to get to where we were all gathered at the grandma's house. He goes into another room and then comes back with a plastic baggie out of which he pulls a bare-naked cent and hands it to me like no big deal. This '09 was absolutely gorgeous... I'd say only slightly below AU. A very beautiful chocolate brown. He probably ended up getting easily 1500 for it as that is what I would have paid. Now I only wish I had found that one in a damn roll...

If anyone is interested I am willing to trade silver I find in rolls for a comparable value in wheat pennies...

 

I would say so. Let me know where to get boxes of lincolns that saturated with wheats, please.

 

just searched one box of halves. I revealed 9 40% halves and 4 1964's. I also got a 1982-d in which i needed to fill a hole in the folder. I also got a 1995s that was in the last roll. I'd say it was a decent box overall.

 

Found 3 %40 silver halves and a 1964 half in a box and on a bank trip found 4 more %40

 

Searching

$240 in bank rolls, $80 in customer rolls and $34 in loose yielded 1 1964 and 1 1967. Better than I have been getting lol! Picking been really slow for about a month.

I haven't gone through any rolls in 25 years, since I was a kid... so after reading all the post I decided to give it a try. Went to the local bank and asked for halves, but they didn't have any. I was told I would have to order $1000 to get some, so I did. Took my 12 year old and I about 2 hours to go through all and here is what we found: Pretty good I think??

29 - 90%ers
25 - 40%ers

Does anyone know where the banks get the rolled halves? I know they come from N.F. String & Son, Brinks or one of the other large distributors, but my question is do these companies roll their coin locally in each city, or do they roll them in say 5 or 6 large cities in the US , then distribute them to smaller cities?

 

box of halves. nothing

$110 of customer rolled halves: 2 40%ers.

 

Spoke to soon. There was another roll and in it I found a 2007, a 1964 and a 1974D DDO

Welcome to the forum.

And that was an amazing box of $1/2.

 

Why do Bi-centennial Quarter's bring a premium? I see rolls of them selling on ebay for more then face value.

 

'cause folks are dumb.

 

Bag of halves found nothing :crying: but did pick up 3 customer rolls with it and found 1 1967 been pretty dry for me lately

 

Picked up 170 (halves) in rolls, all presearched (one end opened)!
