Bully!

Postby jacer333 » Tue Jul 10, 2012 9:02 pm

I think this may qualify for a "bully" by Thogey standards.

I just scooped up 5 wild Injuns and a fistful of wheats from one box! Somebody must have gotten really tired of starring at these ol' coins and had to dump them! Nothing special on the picture quality, but enough to back me up :)

Funny coincidence. I bought $90 in CWR today and 3 of the rolls were solid wheats. Each roll had an IHC as well! You beat me with 5 though. That's a nice box! I got. 1883 1888 and 1906. Best coin from the bunch was a F 1909 VDB. Best CWR cents I have ever had. Glad to see you had a great night too.

Sweet find!! My bank won't allow CWR, they make everyone send the coins through the coin counter. They got burned on some CWR quarters they said. Teller told me that some kind of metal bolts were in the centers of several hundred rolls... ouch! makes it rough on all the honest people...

Same here. No such thing as CWR's around here. I can bring in my machine wrapped rolls and they would make me stand there and bust them open so they can run them through the counter.

Thanks guys! It sure was a fun box to go to...after finding the 2nd Indian and already seeing a high number of wheats, I was excited to see what each subsequent roll would hold. Yes, this was from one Loomis machine-wrapped box.

NHsorter-much congrats on your haul too, I'd say you did as well or better than I did! We sure put a dent in what is left of the wild Indian tribe out there. :)

Bully!
If I have the gift of prophesy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to move mountains but do not have love I am nothing. And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned but do not have love it profits me nothing.
