$500 Brinks box

3- 90% Walker halves 1919D, 1939S, 1944D
1- JFK 40% 1969D
1- JFK clad proof 1989S
5- JFK NIFC 2003P, 2003D, 2005P X2, 2009D,
other 1 1975 Hong Kong One Dollar piece
1 1990 Iraq 250 FILS I think it's a 1990 because it has a 199. on it. Both looked up in Krause

The 1919D walker is very worn I would say a G4. The 1944D is at least a MS-63.

Just for the fun of it I weigh each roll before I open it. I found 225grams never any silver, at 226 a 50-50 chance of no silver or a 40% or a 90%, at 227 always find silver.
Today at 226 1 40%, at 226 the 1939S, at 227 both the 1919D and the 1944D in the same roll.
Now I weighed a roll and it came up 236 grams I never had 1 that weighed that much I thought this must have a lot of silver. I opened it faster than ever and no silver the roll had 20 halves and a extra coin the 1990 Iraq that weighed 10.4 grams. What a let down.
But all in all I can't complain it was a good box.

I WANT TO WISH EVERYONE A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS

Went through a second $250 Brinks dime box after I got off work and found:

1-1920 Mercury
1-1955 D Rosie :)

I also found a British 5 pence (I've found alot of those) and a very small coin from Sweden I think. It says "10 ore Sverige" on it. It's a 1968.

$12.50 in teller halves--skunk

One box of dimes--3 silver Roosevelts and a whopping 10 Canadian dimes !! :shock: This was a NF String box. I normally get 1 Canadian every 2+ boxes or so.
“Someone’s gonna have to go back and get a sh*t load of dimes.”

If you are waiting for the "correction" to buy you need to realize that the increasing prices ARE the correction.

Report on quarters searched:

$36.50 -- loose change

Silver found - none
2009 found - 98 Total -- P & D mint marks of all 2009 quarters EXCEPT for no Guam D or no P.R. D -- It was great to finally find some 2009 quarters but I just wish they hadn't all appeared at one time as it stretched me a bit thin to keep this many at once for their anniversary coin jar, but I just couldn't turn them back into the wild.
Other found - none


Other stats: Coin count was correct

Overage/shortage total: Even

Enjoy your coin searches, everyone. :geek:

Half Box #186

Not only a skunk, but the most short box I've ever had.

1 roll 2 halves short
2 rolls 1 half short
1 roll had a nickel instead of a half
2 rolls had a penny instead of halves - and as a further insult they were zinc.

Half Box #187

1 1967
1 1968D
1 1969D

1 1943 Walker
