Went to about 15 banks today and managed to get about $23 in loose halves...all Skunks.

2 boxes of dimes:

Box 1 - Skunk
Box 2 - 3 Rosies (1 x 1963 and 2 x 1964)

Not a total loss.

Forgot...also got a 1951 D Wheat Penny from the reject tray at TD bank too!

 

By far my oddest coin I pulled out of a roll was a Jamaican 5 cent nickle. My favorate find that i found was a 1910 wheat penny.

 

Awesome Lincoln Noob!!!! Well 5 boxes of halves netted 1 40%er. Box of CWR of dimes 4 roos.

 

Eh not cool we all gotta start somewhere, but anyways thats not all ive pulled from circulation. I have found over 100 wheat pennys in circulation sense I am in the middle of no where the coins dont circulate too well.

 

This week 2 boxes 1 40% half. That is actually good for lately lol. Sad but true.

Went to Lake Charles Friday with a couple of buddies and stopped in 4 banks while there found 5 40%.

Stopped in 2 banks near home midweek. New teller I have not seen before. Classic...When I asked her if she had gotten in any halves lately, her response "All I have is some old silver ones but they are tarnished so I doubt you want them." Of course I sighed, said better than nothing and took them. 1 1953, and 4 1964's. The 2nd bank next door had a few halves 1 1963, 2 1964 and 1 1966.

Today I go to visit my mother in law. There was a garage sale a few streets away. Bought these:
70 40% Halves
3 Morgans 1899o, 1881s, 1879o well circulated
1 Peace 1925 Circulated
4 ASE BU
2 Maple Leafs original packaging
4 1 onza's BU 1982, 1985, 2000, 2000 (2 of each type)
3 1968 Olympic 25 peso Commems 1 AU, 2 BU
1 $10 Casino silver token
2 1 onza's BU 1949, 1980

I love garage sales!!! I have all but given up boxes due to wasted time, gas and effort.

 

Nice finds Erin.

 

4 rolls of each denomination today... nothing. One of the rolls of cents had 8 dimes in it though. I like that.

 

Found a 1961-D Dime in my Dad's pocket change today!!! My first ever silver find!... was sorting out copper pennies from about 30 coins, and there were about 8 dimes in the pile. Location - PA

Its still out there! I think that searching Dimes may yield more results since I know that most of the halves have dried up, and most of the quarters.

 

Nice Erin!

2 dimes (64, 56) out of 100$, plus a 52S dime & a 64 quarter in the reject bin when getting rid of them

 

So I ended the weekend going through $50 in pennies, $40 in halves, and $100 in quarters with only 14 wheats and dirty fingertips to show for it. Pretty weak but there's next weekend

 

I don't know that it was valuable or rare, but I picked up three large cents, all from 1860's, in bags of half dollars. One was dateless, but who cares? Great fun.. I also found an old farthing, also dateless, from the early 1700's. Someone's pocket piece, I suppose.

 

Searched $0 in pennies, $145 in halves. Fifteen wheaties, oldest was 1939P. Included 17 Canadian, oldest 1943 and 1948.

Halves produced 3 40%, including 65, 66, 67, and three proofs, 2003S and two 2007S.

Finished my box of cents last night. (23) Wheats and about (60) Canadian (oldest was 1939). No WAMS.

 

Box of dimes, nothing.

Box of nickels, nothing, except an '85-S.

 

I searched 2 more boxes of dimes today and found 5 Rosies! Today is about two days short of my first month CRH'ing. I have to head out of town for business tomorrow and will be very busy so most likely not much searching till Friday. My first months totals are:

Kennedy Half Dollars (90%): 4
Kennedy Half Dollars (40%): 57
Washington Quarter: 2
Mercury Dime: 1
Roosevelt Dime: 17
Canadian Dime: 1

At today's spot about $425 (give or take a buck or two) :thumb:

 

Well today I decided to move the couches out from the wall and sweep, and everytime I always find something that I have been looking for or my wife and son has forgotten about. So as I pull the first couch away from the wall I find the usual suspects shoes, toys, dust bunnys, old potato chips etc. Then in the very corner I see a roll of half dollars???? I pick up the roll and see that it was never opened and my mind races!!! I rememmber the roll because all the boxes I had gotten at that time were wrapped in dollar wrappers inside out. Anyways I open the roll and find 2 40%ers!!!!! You never know what your gunna find behind the couch....

 

My boxes lately haven't been good at all. I'm happy to get any silvers. Last week the tellers forgot to order me my boxes and although I probably stop at 20-30 banks over the course of my work commute for the week, I rarely find any half dollars at all lately...I swear the northeast is the dryest of all the regions.

Anyway, today I did the 2 boxes we grabbed yesterday

Box 1 - 5 40%
Box 2 - 2-90% and 24-40%

My best box in a long time.

I just recently hit the 1 year mark so I'll have to count up everything I have and see how I did. I know I didn't hit 1000 halves total but I think I'm close if I add up 40s and 90s

 

Killer box Yac!!!!
