<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Atreides, post: 1465941, member: 36287&quot;]Weekly results:</p><p><br /></p><p>Quarters (54 rolls): Skunk</p><p>Dimes (122 rolls and 4 boxes): Roosie x12, Merc x1</p><p>Nickels (87 rolls and 2 boxes): War x8, 1976S Proof, 1992S Proof, and 1999S Proof.&nbsp; Proofy!</p><p>Pennies (66): Wheat x20</p><p>Halves ($24.50 loose and 4 boxes): 90% x2, 40% x4</p><p><br /></p><p>Also 23 Ikes, one of which was a 1976D Type 1.&nbsp; That was my first rare Ike die variety for the year, out of 313.</p><p><br /></p><p>Foreign finds for this week: 75c Canada, 15c Bermuda, 50c Ecuador, 10p10c Dominican Republic, 10c Panama, 30p UK, 40c Peru, 200L Italy, 25o Denmark, 30g Poland, and 70s Bulgaria.</p><p><br /></p><p>This week was pretty good, since I finally had a bit of good luck with halves.&nbsp; I found a decently nice 1943P War Nickel to trade up in my Jefferson album (still have 5 holes in that one), and a 1956S Roosie for my Silver Roosevelt Dime folder.&nbsp; Now that I have so few holes left in both, it&#039;s really exciting when you finally find a coin you can plug in.&nbsp; Total silver found this week was 2.7053 ozt. </p><p><br /></p><p>I think I&#039;ve come to a conclusion on Ikes, I think I&#039;ll just keep the best one of every date/mintmark, in fact I&#039;ll probably end up ordering an album/folder the next time I order coin supplies.&nbsp; The rest are going to get dumped on an unsuspecting teller, maybe the one at the only bank this year (knock on wood) to cut me off from CRH!</p><p><br /></p><p>My pickup bank tellers have been really great about ordering halves so as long as I can manage the extra trips to my dump bank, I&#039;ll be upping my volume from now on.&nbsp; I did find a local chain that carries black-and-white wrapped halves, but they would only give me half a roll (skunk of course) without an account.&nbsp; The manager was very nice and said I can &quot;clean them out, order more, get 2 dollar bills, whatever&quot; and the minimum balance is $100 so I may just open an account (yet another checking account, lol).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
