<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Aggiecollector, post: 1460907, member: 19545&quot;]<b>3 Years of Roll Searching Top Ten</b></p><p><br /></p><p>Well, I am two weeks short of 3 years of searching. Year one was decent, year two was amazing, and year three has tailed off so I don&#039;t spend much time anymore outside of my town and my tellers. Anyway, I thought it would be kind of fun to look at my top ten finds so I compiled them. I have some other cool finds but for value, these are probably the top ten, I included year of find:</p><p><br /></p><p>Cut line was $625+</p><p>10 2011 - Spent $325 got over 900 coins in a 5 inch binder buried in a storage locker. Value of coins over $950.</p><p>9 2011 - $200 in CWR yielded 10 Walkers, 5 Franklins, 11 64&#039;s, 86 40%.</p><p>8 2010 - $180 in CWR yielded 7 64&#039;s, 1 70D, 142 40%.</p><p>7 2010 - $80 in CWR yielded 160 40%.</p><p>6 2010 - $250 in CWR yielded 20 Franklins, 19 64&#039;s, 69 40%.</p><p>5 2011 - $190 in CWR yielded 9 Franklins, 52 64&#039;s, 26 40%.</p><p><br /></p><p>Top 4 all have value over $1100...</p><p><br /></p><p>4 2011 - 2 Boxes same bank same day when out of town for kid&#039;s soccer tournament:</p><p>Box 1: 5 Franklins, 9 64&#039;s, 81 40%</p><p>Box 2: 2 Walkers, 5 Franklins, 38 64&#039;s, 1 1976S silver, 42 40%.</p><p>Total: 59 90%&#039;ers, 124 40%&#039;ers in the tow boxes.</p><p>3 2011 - Only Bag ever purchased when the bag filled on my dump and she pulled it out so I saw a bunch of Franklins s and bought it after talking to several managers yielded 1 Walker, 85 Franklins, 26 64&#039;s, 20 40%.</p><p>2 2011 - $160 in CWR yielded 35 Franklins, 85 64&#039;s, 34 40%.</p><p><br /></p><p>Finally, ........</p><p><br /></p><p>Best find came at an estate sale that I randomly stunbled upon waiting for banks to open:</p><p>1 1916 D Mercury Dime (Amongs others in coin album) for $2.65. Had estimated value by dealer placed at $500 AND</p><p>1 Almost full 56/58 Indian Head Cent album including flying Eagles and only missing 2 coins for $20. Had dealer estimate value $900 - $1200. I paid $20 for the whole book and there are more than 30 coins in the book worth over $20 EACH.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Have some other cool finds but value wise they could not crack the top ten. I just thought would be fun to share and see what kind of scores you long time searchers have in your top ten. I know some of the Florida guys have some bigger finds than mine.</p><p><br /></p><p>PS Some of the finds were more valuable at the time but I am using todays silver values.</p><p>Erin[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
