Roll-searchers, post your results!

I found a 1994 D penny with the word liberty doubled is it rare

Good quality pictures of entire obverse, reverse, and zoomed in (cropped) of the doubling in question would be a big help.

 

Can someone tell me about the last colum

 

I got a clean 56D and a not so clean 57P out yesterday.
Plugging along with my pennies is pretty much all I got.

 

Another 20 skunks making it a 72 box streak

I’ve had a record year with over 500 ounces of silver, right or wrong I’m taking a break until the first of the year

Happy huntilng

 

@Sam Carter sorry to hear this, although 500 toz silver is an absolutely stunning return on your investment!

Do you mark coins? If so, did you see your own marked coins during this 72 box skunk streak? Inquiring minds want to know.

Reason I ask is two years ago I began marking 74Ds after I check them for the DDO error on the obverse. I do not search nearly the volume you do, but I have not seen any of the 74Ds with my mark on them to-date. I am also taking a break from searching boxes of halves, but in my case I had found only 4, 40%ers in the last 14 boxes. This was enough to turn me off for awhile.

 

I don’t mark them, but I know others do because at least half of the boxes had lots of coins marked with an s or 5 couldn’t tell but I knew I was on a run of search coins. I also knew by the Loomis location stamp of 6602, they all had a fading ink stamp so each time I picked up I knew I wasnt going to find anythin. I usually can battle through it but I’m crying UNCLE at 72. I would have kept it up through the rest of the year I had found even a few in the last 72, but zero is not fun for weeks in end. Or had the Loomis location number changed to 4792.

If you through my posts I can get coins from three to four different Loomis process centers I guess depending on inventory. Oh well, we will see what 2019 brings.

 

Berto, how do you mark your 74-Ds? I sometimes get 74-Ds here in West Texas that are marked with a black Sharpie two different ways: 1) The D is marked with a small dot barely covering the mint mark; 2) "We Trust" is highlighted with the Sharpie. I know it would be odd if these are your marked coins (unless you live in my "region"), but that's too much of a coincidence. Especially since these marked coins are never DDOs. Just curious.......

 

@TexAg I use a red sharpie and only place a small dot behind JFK's head. I mark only 74Ds after I check them for the DDO. This mark could easily be removed using acetone if a fellow collector needed a 74D.

I am located on the west coast.

 

Gotcha @berto , thanks!

 

@Sam Carter I have never searched a box of halves with any number stamped on it. I have searched a fair number of boxes of halves from 4 different states and none of the boxes have been stamped. The best boxes have come from states where older-model coin counters exist in at least a handful of bank chains. Older model counters do not reject silver coins.

It is good your area has stamps so you can keep track of codes that produce and change-up your ordering to try and receive boxes with the better codes.

 

My skunk streak continues yet again, 4 boxes yesterday and today my bank did't order, one would think after 5 years of visiting that bank every Thursday to pickup halves they would not forget. Sometimes makes me wonder. They did have one box, Skunked no silver, the box contained 163 NIFC coins. 07D-9, 07P-9, 08D-39, 08P-35, 10D-17, 10P-12, 11D-19,and 11P-23. These all are GEM, Many will go BU. Hope you all have a wonderful weekend, May you all find the silver you seek. Until Next week.

 

Congrats Sam, you did well this year, I am at 150 ounces this year. The lowest amount I have found since 2013. Once again congrats.

 

What is this

 

spare change

 

PMD (post mint damage). Possibly a "parking lot coin", one which was driven over by a car.

 

Picked up 4 boxes of halves yesterday. Just finished 2, 1st box (NF String) was a skunk. 2nd box (Loomis) had (2) 40%ers & a 1974-D DDO. Silver for me is way down over the last few months, but I am finding just enough to keep me searching (for now, lol).
