Roll-searchers, post your results!

I’ve been getting extremely lucky the past couple of months, so the adrenaline rush was somewhat subdued after the first two rolls, but nonetheless still a great feeling!! However, I will never forget how fast I dropped that first roll and ran back into the bank to claim the other rolls.

I can feel my own mouth watering... Sweet solid stacks!!!

Congrats LibertyHead!

 

Tough 5-1/2 boxes of halves last week - no silver! My first box this week broke my longest skunk streak of 7-1/2 boxes. I was really getting discouraged, and don’t know how some are able to go through much longer skunk streaks. The box had a 1964 ender which foreshadowed a good box totaling 16 silvers and 6 NIFCs:

1 x 1962-D Benjamin (extremely worn)
3 x 1964
2 x 1964-D
2 x 1965
3 x 1966
4 x 1967
1 x 1968-D
1 x 1987-P
1 x 2010-S Impaired Proof

 

picked up 7.50 in halves from the teller tray. nothing except a holed 1972 which is now on my dog's collar

 

That will make ones mouth water!!!!

 

Tex I get excited if I only get a 71/2 box skunk streak, my longest box skunk streak is 49. Now that is something to get discouraged over! LOL

 

Today 4 boxes one skunk, I pulled 1-64D, and 2-67's I also pulled a bunch of NIFC, 1-11D, 5-11P, 1-13P, 1-15D, 3-17P,3-17P, 4-18D, My first 18P. I also pulled 1 Batting Cage Token from Salem Oregon. Its always a good when one scores Silver! Wishing Everyone the Best.

 

$160 BWR halves - skunk
$80 CWR halves - 5 total (1 90%, 4 40%) one being a 68-D of interest. I'll get back at some point with pictures of it.

 

I definitely know the feeling! Nice score.

And now forever, you'll pick up whatever that branch gets, even other peoples' dumps. All because "that one time..."

 

1 bank tonight had $3 loose halves, skunk (my reality bites)

 

Man oh man! I love stories like these especially when they come from someone telling a legit story. Thats a fairy tale find one we all dream about. Im glad you found them at least someone did! Everyone deserves a nice lucky coin story haha

 

Selling my current box today. Only real question is whether I get a "fed" box or a CRW box.

 

I posted this yesterday but forgot to show closeups of the very worn (FR02) 1962-D Franklin. This is the most worn Benjamin I have found and it’s not even an older Benjamin. It’s as if somebody carried it around in their pocket for years for good luck. This one weighs almost a whole gram less than the standard (11.58 vs 12.50 grams), or a 7% loss.

 

Box #1 this week was a skunk. I think I have some new competition as somebody marked every shiny (AU or better) 1993-D half dollar with a black marker (approximately 40 of them). I hope he/she gets discouraged and stops searching, lol. It was interesting that I did not find a single NIFC which is very unusual. However, I did find another nice 1974-D DDO which took away a little of the sting. More boxes coming tomorrow and Friday.

 

Stopped to get $40 in nickels today. They were going to give me customer rolls (which have been dry lately), so I requested bank rolls. Glad I did. Those 20 rolls had a buffalo and TWO v-nickels.





One v was a trainwreck...

but it's a 1906.

The other was wiped but shows a clean date

 

Man, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Franklin that bad. They seem to hold up very well usually. That coin has some stories to tell about its travel. Keep hunting Tex!

 

You can't. It will have missing luster since it was in circulation, no matter how little time. Handling, fingerprints, etc. It may look UNC, but that is what UNC means - no circulation!

 

I found these this past week! 1967 Lincoln DDO Face and this really nice 1962 with a 3rd Leg in the R in LIBERTY

 

I did my last boxes for this week, 1 skunk out of 4, pulled 3067, 1-68, and 1-69. Also a ton on NIFC 2002-2014's Hope you all have a great week. Unless I pickup something In San Diego you won't be seeing any posts for a while.

 

This represents searching 37,640 quarters. That makes about 1 silver quarter per 52 rolls.
