Wow this thread has died...Covid is killing everything
I'm still hunting cents. I have an ungodly number of boxes to go through and and bags that I've searched that need to be dumped. Found a few fun things but not much to write home about. Hope everyone is doing well.

 

Yep, things are really dead here. No boxes for me for weeks now. I’ve taken up NA Indian artifact hunting.

 

That’s pretty cool though! I used to find the odd arrowhead at my grandma’s farm in Nebraska when the fields would get tilled.

 

I wish I had some plowed fields to walk, lol. I do have access to a friend’s ranch and have found a few cool things including my first arrowhead, a Peno Washita bird point. The place has not been farmed in at least 10 years and is pretty overgrown.

 

My boss sent me to win dixie to get milk and what do you know I peak into the coinstar and Got a 1964 quarter. Just realised I posted this in roll hunting and not reject thread.

 

So I could consider your place to be the equivalent of MWR and my grandma's farm to be CWR lol.

 

I actually got a call today from a branch teller (no joke). This was (pre-Covid) my weekly convenient branch to deposit my check and get spending cash. Been going for years. She has someone deposit some stuff she'd think I'd like. "Some of those large dollar coins and old silver certificates. They're beat up, but thought you'd be interested."

So we make arrangement that I can come into the branch midday. First time I've been inside a branch since March! It was a little spooky.

Long story short, 21 Ikes and 27 Silver Certs (well-worn, and nothing particularly special.)

Made my week!

 

The other day I went really really early to my local CVS. I always go early because its always quiet and I get along with the lone pharmacist that works the grave yard shift.
When I paid she told me "sorry" I have to give you 22 pennys as we are low on change.. Usually I would say don't worry just keep them but not these days. It also didn't help that she had to take out a new role, it was on one of those generic white wrappers with the red ends and when she cracked it open it was loaded with dark penny's.

Sad to say that out of the 22 only one was a 1958 wheatie.
I asked her that if I brought in a bunch of my rolled one's would she swap rolls. Yes it took a little explaining as to why and the covid issue bringing out some oldies.
Figures when I went yesterday and this morning it's her 2 days off.

She also told me she has a boat load of change in 5 gallon water jug, and after I explained what a wheatie is, she just might be thinking to go through them now.

 

Funny and true! Now that I am digging and screening dirt and not finding much, it’s like driving to a far away bank for those MWRs, finding the lone silver, having to re-roll them, and waiting in line to dump them in the commercial lane at the motor bank!

 

Today I dropped off a package of cookies at my favorite order bank. The cookies were store-bought, sealed in plastic, and fresh, so should be covid free!

None of the 3 folks I typically order coins from were there at the time, but I made certain the (new) teller I spoke with would pass along my name and a cookie

The teller to whom I passed the cookies told me another teller, who would be at work tomorrow morning, has $80 in CWR halves, so I will likely stop by there in the morning and pick them up.

All is not lost!

 

Coworker found out I collect coins, so he brought me 18 rolls of quarters he rolled from his piggy bank. Very last roll and a Lowell W pops out!

 

Meow has had a fairly dry few months CRH. Found 4 W quarters in AU: 3AMPs, and 1WIPs. Meow has yet to find a any 2020 circulated coins besides 2020d pennies here and there. A 1927 penny, 1999d Georgia double ear and hair. A couple of finger feeder 1998p 1997p quarters. And a very mushy N Dakota ATB.

 

I've recently gotten a few 2020 dimes and quarters in change, some of which are in my pocket right now, including a 2020-P Salt River Bay (US Virgin Islands) quarter.

 

Meow gets very uneven coin distribution where Meow lives. Meow CRHs quarters on a regular basis. Meow has lost count, of how many W quarters Meow has found, as Meow has stashed most of them deep in the Cat Hoard. But most of them where AMPs, maybe 70%. The rest WIPs, besides one Lowell and one RONR. Meow has even yet to find a Texas one yet.

 

Who can say no to a cookie?

 

Today I finally stopped in at the bank I delivered cookies to last week. The tellers remembered me and thanked me for the cookies.

Last week they had told me one teller had $80 in halves. These halves were gone today, but they had $14.50 in loose halves. 2, 40%ers in them so I am happy!

 

I had to go to our bank for some in-person business last week, and I asked about half dollars. They had quite a lot. I took four rolls. Nothing -- no silver, no NIFC, no proofs, no high-grade, nothing. Oh, well. The self-checkout machines aren't picky.

 

This beautiful 1972S Proof came from a roll tonight. I am working through my backlog of boxes and currently have 6.5 left.

 

Cool.......I love finding proofs in coin rolls!
