<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Walnut, post: 1375546, member: 36341&quot;]<b>Hello Everyone</b></p><p><br /></p><p>Been lurking awhile and decided to join the group.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have been doing this about 11 months now. I search halves, dimes, quarters. As far as boxes I order a couple half boxes a week and buy a few dime and quarter boxes every week as much as time allows. I only search the clear dime and quarters. I have a small sum of money I keep in rotation.</p><p><br /></p><p>I read this thread about every week to see how everyone is doing.</p><p><br /></p><p>I was amazed like everyone else as to what VACookey was finding. Those pics with 5 silvers from one roll was neat. </p><p><br /></p><p>My best find was last summer. 6 1/2 rolls of BU 64&#039;s with the other half being 40%&#039;s. </p><p><br /></p><p>My best box or quarters was 9 silvers.</p><p><br /></p><p>My best box of dimes was 9 silvers. I think there was a couple of Canadians in there.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have had a couple of half boxes with 30 or so silvers mostly 40%&#039;s. In this area the yellow flat boxes do better for me than the square ones. Stopped doing them because I haven&#039;t found a thing from them other than a couple gold plated with the extra 1980 stamp or whatever it is.</p><p><br /></p><p>My oldest coin find was a 1917 (i think) standing liberty quarter. Highly worn, but cool to find none the less.</p><p><br /></p><p>Took a few months before I found my first Franklin. Have not yet found any Walkers. I am not sure they made it out to this part of the country. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>My first dime find was a merc, but I typically find 1 roosie per box like everyone else.</p><p><br /></p><p>I tried nickles when I first started but it was way to much work for me. Need to look at every coin closely.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, I am getting quite a collecting of foreign coins. I was getting a bunch of British 5 centers for awhile in the dimes, though they have trailed off now. I bet the banks were complaining, so they probably tightened their sorting. It was 2 per box for awhile there.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyhow, hello to everybody. I will post my finds every so often.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
