I paused my halves order this week due to the 4th.......but I couldn't take it.......grabbed a box of dimes.....man, I forgot how many you go through........anyway.......Tuesday's box of dimes yielded....... 1 x 64!

$250 Canadian dimes CWR box assembled from different clients who used 5 different wrapper styles. 21 US, 3 UK 5 pence and 2! 1966 80% silver. A fantastic box.

Wednesday's box of halves........skunk.......

$750 in dimes. 2 full boxes machine wrapped rolls, might not bother to look at them as the machines take out anything Silver or US. Went through half the CWR and found a block of rolls that were solid 1968-late 70's. No idea how that happened. Did not look like a collection... more like an old piggy bank. Just when I thought that they were all nickel, found a silver dime in there. Pulled a few American ones too from other rolls.Will update if anything else from this batch.

Thursday's box of halves yielded....... 2 x 64 , 1 x 66, and 1 x 69!!!

Friday's box of halves ........skunkage......

$316 in US halves yielded a single 40%er, second loose coin I checked. Also another 2018D. All the Loomis rolls were skunk as were the $255 in dimes with zero silver or unusual coins. Not even a Canadian dime.

Wednesday's box of halves yielded......1 x47 !

Those 47 and 47-D halves are quite difficult to find. Somewhat surprising that they don’t fetch bigger premiums. Perhaps that is because it was the last year of Walkers being minted and some people hoard first and last year coins.

Last week a buddy told me about getting three silver quarters out of a bar machine that gives quateers for the pool tables. No such luck for my twenty bucks.

Handful of halves yesterday were a skunk. Several banks in rural central WA had zero halves so skunk today.

Interesting,. Thanks, I hadn't thought of that.

Thursday's box of halves.......1 x 64 !

Close to $100 in halves from 6 banks yielded 4 more 40%ers. Also another $12.50 in 2018Ds. I'm having a hard time believing the 2018Ds are NIFC as i'm finding them all over Washington State.

I remember ca. 2006-2007 there were 2001’s coming out of the woodwork in my area for perhaps six months or so. They were very sharply struck and had tons of lustre- think 1881-S Morgans on steroids. I probably could have gotten $5,000 to $10,000 in face without too much effort. They were very nice looking coins, but so common that I chose to avoid them. I’ve never seen anyone paying anything above face for them since, so I feel that I made the right decision by staying away.

I've had the opposite happen a number of times, penny rolls that have clad dimes in them. A box in the past month or so had three dimes.
