*Official March 2011 Half Dollars and Other Coins

[PreservingThePast]

Report on quarters searched:

$20.00 -- 2 BWRs

Silver quarters found - None
2009 quarters found - Forty -- 40/2009D A.S.
Other found -- Forty -- 40/2011P Gettysburg National Park Quarters or America The Beautiful Quarters--whichever the correct name is now

OBSERVATION: In the 2009 roll all of the coins were nice and shiny, pristine looking EXCEPT for one quarter that was in about the middle that had a small stain on the obverse and a huge stain on the reverse. So much so that I would not include it in the tube in which I transferred the quarters. Anyone have any idea what might have happened here??? The quarters were in a BWR that was paper and sealed on both ends. No company name like NF String and Sons. Just white with the orange trim and did not look dirty or discolored in any way.

Other stats: No overages or shortages

Overage/shortage total: Even

Enjoy your coin searches, everyone.

Surprise Loading car to return Dime bag an Penny Bag and the local branch calls saying they two bags of penny's an a bag of Dimes I can buy,
did drop of small box valentine Chocolate candy to tellers first of week.

I get there to dump an vault teller comes over ask me for check then loads her cart two $50 cents an one $25 cent bag plus Dime $500 bag an wheels it out to my car,
I hold doors an she waits while I load the 4 bags in my trunk

Just finished Dime bag an it gave me Three dimes One Happy camper. Small box chocolates sure seemed to work this time

Not a lot of silver but better than Skunk an whine I have $200 plus Cents to hand sort the dimes do go a lot faster

Just finished Dime bag an it gave me Three dimes

I just finished a dime bag and all it gave me were the munchies.

I get discouraged at times on my dime searching. In the past my best find has been nearly two rolls of silver in a batch of CWRs. Well yesterday I hit the jackpot so I think I'll keep doing it. I just went thru the first of two batches of CWR dimes I bought yesterday.

batch 1: 29 CWRs of dimes

I always preweigh them for shorts, longs, obvious cents in the rolls, detection of GB 5 pence pieces, canadian steelies, foreign coin bulges, etc.

9 rolls weighed in at > 122gms (the excitement started building!)
there were two shorts and three longs (one single and one double)

FINDS:

only 47 clads were in these 9 overweight rolls!

383 roosies, some AU/BUs
20 avg circ mercs (only 1 1942 ... not an overdate ... now I'm getting greedy!)

There may be a couple more in the other rolls but the rest weighed in at the usual 113.8gm +- 0.4 gms, including a 1 or 2 coin tare on the shots & longs.

at the current price of silver, thats over $1,100 ($1060 profit)! Can you imagine walking into a bank and asking them for a free $1000, no (n.f.)string{s} (& son, inc.) attached? NOT!

This is my 5th best find ever.

Upon telling my wife about it, she reminded me to be thankful and think about the poor person turning them into the bank. I do thank them and feel bad that they were ignorant of the fact that they let $1060 slip through their hands ... but not bad enough to cause a scene at the bank and demand that they return them to their rightful owner.... OMG another two-edged sword to wring my hands over. How can I possibly survive this injustice once again?

The silver drought is over in AG land. Finnally got a decent bag tonight.

$1k in bagged halves yielded...
39 - 40% including a 1970S proof and a bicentenial S proof.
9 - 90% kens including a proof with DML (deep mirror like)
5 - walkers (45, 45D, 42S, 41, 34S)
2 - franklins (61D, 50)
3 - clad proofs
$4.73 in extra change
A guitar pick
A presidential token - John Quincy Adams
20 cent Australian coin.

Country,
Also found in this bag was a 1986 clad Nation of Immigrants half. Due to my excitement of the large amount of silver in the bag I somehow missed this one.

Thanks for the update.

[Country]

8 boxes Halves: 7 Skunks, 1 box gave up (4) 40% and an 2001S Clad Proof.

As if this weren't bad enough...I found 2 coins clearly marked BAMA JOE!!!

Unless you say otherwise, I am going to assume that the 4 SILVER box was the fourth box you searched.

I use this data for SKUNK streaks....

[Country]

First ever box of $500 Halves

A single 40% Half Dollar

I have another box coming in on Tuesday.

Oh yeah.. country - lump me in with the West crowd, thanks!

OK. Another searcher from California....

nope
i will say that i am from a state that is in the "west" region of the map you have.
but not california

it is a state you dont have data for, but i dont want to reveal my location.

OK... I lump your finds with the other non-staters.

[Country]

Figured I was due for a bad bunch, since I found a few last week.
Eight boxes were skunks
Two boxes 2 40% each

Unless you tell me otherwise, I am going to assume that the first 2-40%er box was the fourth box, and the second 2-40%er box was the seventh box.

I use this data for the SKUNK streaks.

On March 21 I found 36 40 % and 3 90% halves in $105 of loose and CWRs from my new favorite bank. I also got skunked with $40 from another bank. On March 28 I found 1 40% in $80 of CWR halves. I also found 5 roosies and one merc in $225 of CWR dimes. I got skunked on $400 CWR dime rolls that someone must have had the gall to search before me ... how dare they search *my* rolls (lol)!!!

I'm assuming the 3-90% halves were JFK '64s.

Nice find on the War Nicks!!

However, based on the your list of War Nicks, I count 30 of them in your $100 bag.
