Roll-searchers, post your results!

Un-touched brinks box from the bank. Even the teller told me he's had them a while, nobody asks/uses them :\. Tight seal on the fold, can't pull them out in a column, have to rip the paper.

Never saw those before. I don't think any of my supply banks use Brinks. Can you post a pic of the closed end? Thanks.

 

So it's an old Brinks box?! How old is old?

Lol I guess I have found silver from brinks if that's what it is. However all the stuff that is labeled "brinks" I haven't found squat.

 

Two boxes of dimes, only one silver roosie. Gonna finish the week with dimes, if things don't get better, I'll let them chill for a bit.

Went to some random banks on my usual loop, all clad, except for my favorite bank.... two rolls of 40%ers for $20.

Also found some Ikes, the majority were '72's, but no Type 2's.

 

Thanks bobbeth!

Anyway, out $500 halves, are these not worth keeping?

[1] Nice bicentennial
[2] 2002-P
[2] 2002-D
[1] 2005-D
[6] 2008-D

[2] 1972-D with a weak FG

 

I'd keep all but the bicentennial and the '72.

 

What to keep?!

Give me a list of what to keep

 

Keep anything 1970 and older, any 1987, 2001P, and any 2002 and newer. Also keep commems, and proofs. That's about it I think.

Of course, if you wanted to throw the silver back in the mix for the rest of us, that'd be great! Thanks bud! (J/K)

 

What are commems? and how do you tell if a coin is a proof?

 

Commemoratives - anything that says half dollar and was issued as a special coin from the mint.

Proofs - mintmark is an S. They have a mirrored finish to them. Google Kennedy proof and you'll see the difference.

 

Including the 40 40%'ers I found today, I'm almost already back up to $100 face in 40% silver, wow.

 

Merc, what do you do besides hunt coins? You seem to always have the best luck and the most time to go from bank to bank to bank to bank.... I are somewhat envious.

Still jazzed about the '67 I found yesterday. I hope more to follow!

 

Out of curiosity, why 2001-P?

EDIT: Also I was wondering is it rare to find 2008-D halves in rolls?

 

I was going through rolls of halves when I came across three rolls full of really shiny gold and silver Kennedy halves from the 70s, 80s, & 90s. Does anyone know why these halves are gold and silver plated? Are they worth anything more than face? Worth keeping?

 

I save 'em just for the heck of it. You might be able to find someone willing to pay a premium, but I'd consider it a bit unlikely.

I manage a retail store... I'm just dedicated to roll searching, ya know? I get up early to cash in, pick up on my lunch break, rinse wash repeat.

 

So I went through $52 of nickels and found 1940, 1946, 1947, 1954-D, 1956-D, 1957-D, 1958-D, 1963, 1966, 1969-D, 1971, and an offstruck 1981.

 

That's pretty weak, to be honest. I usually get 20-30 from before '60 with a war nickel too.

 

Went to the bank and got 2 boxes of dimes, I pulled 8 silver! I have more luck with dimes than anything else.

 

I know that's what I'm saying that's all I got. I'm shocked I didn't find at least one war nickel.

 

Out of two boxes of fimes I found 7 silver :smile 6 in first and 1 in second and a 1978 proof
Two boxes of halves both skunks I am done with boxes of halves, no more for me.
Off to Hawaii for vacation see you guys next month!
