Roll-searchers, post your results!

Looks like you got several proof coins.

I have been wondering if the mint puts proofs back into circulation to make room in their vaults? Thank you.

I know, you would think I was back in Texas or something!

 

Went bank hopping after my midnight to 8 am shift this morning and scored really big. From a couple of banks, I got a bunch of Atlantic City casino rolled half dollars from the 80s and 90s. Also acquired some rolls from the estate of an elderly woman who had passed away. She actually had a wrapped roll of Ikes! I've never seen this before. The 5 crimped rolls of halves were from two different coin wrapping companies, but are tightly crimped and look to be pre-1980. One of the rolls has 1964 Kennedy enders. I weighed it to be sure, and it looks to be a full 90% bank roll...probably BU. Also, there were many sequential and uncirculated 1976 $2 bills that I took. I assume these were also from the same woman's estate. Truly and awesome score!

 

You have a dealer that buys BU kennedys??? I usually come across a random early to mid 90s year that shows up multiple times in my boxes. Last time it was 1991-P. I've been throwing them back. Should I be keeping these and trying to sell them to a dealer??

 

They do sometimes, actually....

 

Doesn’t hurt to ask before tossing them back. This particular dealer works out of his house and only wants Uncirculated modern coins. If he doesn’t think he can put them in 2x2’s and sell them for a nice profit, he won’t buy them. I’ve sold him some BU shield cent rolls for face before which probably helped grease the skids.

 

That's a great find! Thanks for sharing that! Love that you got a roll of Ike's!!!

 

Amazing! Santa came early. I love old MWRolls I am very good/bad about not opening them.

 

I got a box full of my favorite white MWR.
No wheat or foreign through 6 rolls.
I've been experimenting with the 69-73 pennies so many of which have a dished reverse. I've tried leather and wood as bottom. And a brass bar about as big around as a penny to strike with. So far striking through a couple pieces of leather with the reverse sitting on wood to be the best results.
Further experimentation to happen. Because I return most 69-73 to the wild.

 

Your good

 

looking forward to seeing what you pulled, are you planning to open all the Rolls. full sealed rolls like that don't come around too often.

 

The skunk streak continues I think this puts me at 20 boxes with no silver. Just have to keep plugging away. I have a goal to reach!. Hope everyone else is having some luck. Wishing you all the best. Oh almost forgot, found these in the coin reject at the banks coin machine where I dump. The British coin is a 1913 3 Pence

 

Who’s hitting the teller trays hard right now for halves? I have a theory that people need more money for Christmas gifts and are giving their change to the banks. I’ll give it a shot.

56 skunk box run......whew! Broke a record I never wanted to repeat. I have 20 boxes ordered for this week. Fingers crossed this ends this week

 

My skunk streak is 48 boxes, hoping I never see that again. Would really like to see some silver this week.

 

Bought another $100 in CWRs while in Oregon Monday. One lone 1968-D Kennedy.

 

Got two Boxes of halves yesterday. 2 40%ers. I have decided to hit the tellers much harder with hopes of great scores.

 

@Bman33 I am taking a break from boxes of halves locally after finding only 4, 40%ers in 14 boxes. I have been checking teller trays...So far nothing from the teller trays, but I will keep at it. GL!

 

I've given up on boxes. I get occasional rolls and still nothing.

 

Bought a box of NF String halves today, 2 Loomis rolls, and $120 in what I thought would be MWRs (they were Loomis rolls that were searched, re-wrapped, and the wrappers marked - oh well). The box yielded a 1964-D and 8 NIFCs including 2 impaired proofs (1978-S & 2003-S). The 2 rolls gave only an NIFC. More boxes should be in tomorrow.
