Wednesday's box of halves...nada....

I was in Denver last week and got to go the mint......incredible building. I wish I had more time and could have done the tour but the gift shop had so many unbelievable coins!

[cwgii]

Stingy banks
$50 quarters... Virgin is, Puerto rico , 86 Canada
$5 dimes... Mex .50
$10 nickels...5 keepers.

[Saabman]

Thursday's box of halves yielded....1 x68!

Friday's box of halves .......zilch....

[coindood]

$230 in small dollars got me nothing except a 1990 Canadian loonie.

Noticing that bank-wrapped Loomis rolls are almost always skunks for NIFC small dollars.

Knock on wood. The CU that has been giving me coin machine bags, called. I see no ,upside, but she wants me to take the $1 bag.

Sounds promising, though there'll probably be a fair amount of quarters in the mix. I say go for it.

[Saabman]

Wednesday's box of halves yielded....1 x 67 and 1 x 68!!

[cwgii]

I am embarrassed. I dumped some mixed coin this morning. Rejected, 1968 half. How to hell did I miss it. All I can say ,it was soooo dark I thought it a a junk cull.
I hereby turn in my ,coin sorter badge.

Got the bag. A 10 second, looks like 1% SBA, fi not see any quarters.

This will be second sort. The pull of doing the box of halves is much stronger.

[cwgii]

In the interest of time, I cheated. I weighed the rolls.
High was 225.1 low 223.8
WaAA NO SILVER.

SO on to the dimes.

[cwgii]

Poop.
Chase...$80, cwr. I looked at the 3 heaviest. Nothing, not even extra coins.

Pima1...20 BWR. Zip
Pima2...$180 cwr, 4 that were ,underweight, counted 46,47.
I hate counting dimes, too small for these fumble fingers.

Heavyweight, 6. 52 in the highest.

So, it is possible but not probable. My scale is a cheapie.and most if the ,same wrappers, were 113-4.

Oh well. Still have to remove damaged . who knows ,there might be a Canadian , Mexican, or a clad proof.
Next,

I did not order quarter but he got a box. So of course, I took it. We know there is even less chance.

Nice variety there. Agreed that amount I wouldn't want to do weekly. Nice to fill holes though. You've found some Pres I've haven't yet.
