<p>[QUOTE=&quot;midtncoin, post: 2873017, member: 89569&quot;]Just finished a $500 box of MWR halves, Loomis.&nbsp; No silver but did find some decent stuff anyway.</p><p><br /></p><p>88D, 90D (x2), 90P (x3), 01D, and 01P -- all look like they just came out of a mint set.</p><p><br /></p><p>02P (x2), 02D, 03P, 04D, 05P, 09D, 10D, 16D -- NIFC.&nbsp; All but the 16D are awesome.&nbsp; The 16D is quite banged up so it&#039;s been floating around in a bag or bin for some time.</p><p><br /></p><p>it is interesting to me that so many NIFC halves can be found in a single box.&nbsp; Since they are only available in mint sets or rolls/bags from the mint, even if we assume that some people broke up mint sets and spent them, that doesn&#039;t seem to explain the frequency.&nbsp; And I&#039;ve seen many roll posters mention finding them very often.&nbsp; So if they&#039;re coming from mint rolls/bags, are collectors dumping them into circulation?&nbsp; Can&#039;t see that happening as they were bought at well over face and that would be a financial loss to the collectors.</p><p><br /></p><p>Is it possible that after the sell period for the bags/rolls expired, the mint is dumping them into circulation just to free up storage room for more inventory space?&nbsp; Just wondering....</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ll start the next box sometime next week and see what I can discover in it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
