Roll-searchers, post your results!

After dragging my feet for months I finally ordered $500 in halves from my bank. It turns out they give them out in a clear plastic bag from their cash room. I wasn't too optimistic but I found 3 40% (1966, 1967, 1967) and 1 90% (1964). I also got $5.25 in quarters that must have slipped through the machine and a $2 Canadian coin. First time I have ever seen one of those. Thanks everyone for keeping me motivated!

Last week $600 brinks rolled halves 1 40%
Today Not even halfway through $500 box 24 -40% almost all 1968 its things like this that keep me addicted to rolls

 

Looks like you finally had a good day! At least soembody has......I'm having such a dry spell i'm abt ready to take this $$ and just buy a few nice coins for my collection. Unfortunately, most local dealers don't carry what I am looking for.

 

Checked one more bank and found $240 is customer wrapped rolls of halves. I LOVE these. Unfortunately, these were well searched.

Still, I'm please with the 7 found earlier....

 

As stated before I could care less if he decided not to be my friend. I see an opportunity I seize it and move along.
Plus I am well known in the community.
Plus this "friend" who we shall call "John" is a pothead of 20 years. constant smoker, constantly high. Hes fried out and rather quite slow, best part is if he did figure out that I flipped them he would forget within a week and go back to getting silver coins for me.
gotta love california, potheads are easy to manipulate, IMHO.

 

You sound like quite the user, if you continually "seize it and move along" you could find yourself alone on moving day.

I know an elderly man that was misguided into selling off hundreds of pre 1967 Canadian Half dollars to one of his, let's say for the sake of this tread "friend" , The old man is still spiteful to this day...

And as for your statement about potheads, You should know that many great minds have used marijuana and people twenty folds smarter then you still do.

 

I found 5 silver dimes and a silver quarter this week

 

Went through a box a customer rolled dimes and found nothing. Turned em back in and as I got my doe I asked the teller if he had any halves? He had 42.00 in loose halves. Plucked out 14 40%ers. Not bad for a sunday....

 

Are you a member of congress?

3-1958
2-1957
3-1954
3-1953

This was my first time to go through some rolls and i had fun. I like the anticipation that you never know what you can find next. For my first time i think i did pretty good and cant wait to get more.

 

Erin, you might remember not too many months back I got almost two boxes of String and Sons halves that were all UNC 1998-D Not very exciting in my opinion. However, people for some reason were buying them on Ebay for $14/roll. This worked fine until one guy ordered five rolls and didn't pay (i.e. he claimed not to have received them and won the arbitration from PayPal...don't even get me started on that one), so I made just about enough on all of them to make up for the money lost to the rip off artist and crooked PayPal arbitration system.
Anyhow, back to the original point - you will occasionally see huge clusters of UNC coins in halves since they don't seem to circulate much - save amongst us roll searchers.

 

Yesterday, found only $6 face in halves, but did get a '09P and a '65; a great percentage of keepers, if I could only have found more coin.

 

lol. People always ask me that, but i dont think thats the way I should do, its just too complicated.

 

holy crap you guys find some amazing stuff. This thread might make me start going to my local bank....

I used to cashier at a supermarket and a guy handed me a $5 silver certificate that i immediately told my boss about and she let me swap a 5 in my wallet for it and i would find random 60's silver but the $5 bill is my biggest find!

Went to the bank to turn back in some nickels and cents and pick up some more cents (they won't give out halves...). As she was dumping my change into the machine (so much easier than rolling!) I saw a silver edged quarter in her change tray (Where all the change is stacked up in increments) and asked if I could get that one, 1942 silver quarter! We'll see what the cents have.

 

cool find

 

Found a 1951-D silver quarter and a silver dime at work this morning
Also pcked up $190 in rolled halves found 2 %40 halves

 

Not my find, but a guy at my coin club meeting tonight recently found a 1932 D quarter in a roll. IN A ROLL!
