Roll-searchers, post your results!

Got 2 boxes of pennies on Wednesday.
Found 25 wheats, 6 Canadian, and a Bahamas penny.

Why do I get so many Gerorge VI cents? This is my third 1945 this month.

30 rolls of quarters. Found 60 Guam W's. Going to send the rest of the 50 rolls back into the wild. Most of the W's are almost proof like

 

Will save the 2 rolls with W ENDERS

 

I do need a few Lowell Ma. W's. Oops only 56. @furryfrog02

 

This represent searching about 70 SBA coins.

 

Wow! Let’s see some photos.

 

60 is absolutely insane! Way to go!

 

Nice haul of Wide Rim / Close Dates! Especially with so few searched. I believe the stained one (3rd individual coin picture shown) is not a Wide Rim though. But, I could be wrong! Anyways, you more than exceeded the handful I have found over the last couple of years.

 

Awesome haul of War In The Pacific quarters Cheech! I can only drool from here in my small West Texas town where I am only now just finding a few 2019-D Lowells!

 

You are correct. The rest look to be wide rims though.

 

Oooh, nice catch. I'll have to pull that one out of the water soak and toss it back to the pile. Thanks for the assist. Yes, quite a haul for searching so few of them. But that's the beauty of being in Europe, some of this stuff kind of just pools over here. The seller I purchased these from thoroughly searched out all silver, buffalo nickels, war nickels, etc, but this and the 1976-D T1 Ike Dollar that I found are ones the seller probably didn't know to look for.

Now, if I could just find one darn 1974-D DDO/TDO, I'd be happy. My total count so far in my life: 0, and yes, I've seen the multiples you've found

 

The next 2 Loomis boxes of halves were slim pickins. 1 x 1965 & 2 x 1974-DDO. Only 1 of the DDOs was okay enough to warrant a picture. I did pick up 2 more boxes today - no enders. Will search them later. I now am sure I have serious competition in my small town. One of my banks offered me $1500 returned by a CRHer this morning in CWR wrappers. I quizzed my favorite teller who told me a collector had searched and returned them. After having just searched $890 in CWRs from the same branch earlier this week and finding absolutely nothing, I said no thanks and just bought the sealed box.

 

Good luck @TexAg. I dumped half of my searched coin this morning. Was going to go around town to do some freestyle searching but decided it was way too hot.

 

Just got finished going through my third box of halves. Finally found my first 40%, a 1968D! Now just need to find a 90%!

 

Congrats @tmeyer ! Keep searching and you will find a 90%er.

 

Thanks TexAg! My bank said they would order me a box a week. Getting excited to get the next box.

 

To give you a feel for the percentage of 90%ers you might find, here are my stats:
2017 total silver halves found
372 total 90%ers found (Walkers, Benjamins, Kennedys)
18.4% 90% silver find rate
But remember, "Past performance is not indicative of future results", lol.

 

@furryfrog02. @TexAg. Mailed this morn. Hope both are happy. Now i have to find someone with extra Lowell W's. For my Guams

 

Does your silver find rate imply per box?

 

Man, I wish, lol! No, 18.4% is just the percentage of silver halves I found that are 90%ers. My silver find rate for all sources (boxes, teller trays, CWRs, bags from coin counting machines) has dropped in recent months from around 0.60% to 0.51%. That's equivalent to about 5 silvers per $500 box.
