yeah I'm confused as well. I've done 4 boxes and gotten some good finds, but way fewer than that.

were these boxes special in some way?

Maineman, FMV puts the 82-P @ .24 in G4 and 3.60 in MS60. It rivals most other dates. I've had no problem getting the MS value, especially when asking 2.50.
Obla...., Actually, this lot as a whole stunk. I had an entire box that looked "bleached-out". The box I'm messing with now is incredibly beat-up. Last trip to that bank for awhile. The finest box ever came from a check-cashing joint. These boxes from the bank are dated from Oct. Those from June-July are pretty productive.

hmm...fill me in. so you think check cashing places are worth a shot?

do they usually have boxes of coin on hand?
do you have to actually cash a check there to get the coin?
etc.

If you can them from them. I live in a small city and know the mgr. pretty well. One of my wife's buddies. At one point, I cashed very large checks there, which helps, I guess. They dont tell you they can order them, that's not their focus. It's always worth a shot. They tend to have the older boxes. At first I was getting the older ones from my bank, but I went through all they had. Each shipment seems a little poorer. New hunting ground needed.

And, out of 8000 pieces, the one and only


I found 10 2009-D's in the brinks box I went through last night, along with 12 2010-D's. Seems the 2009's are finally starting to show up out here in Cali.

Only other one worth mentioning was a 1945-S silver.

That 1st box had so many, I didn't save anything under about 50. Heck, even in AU50, they're FMV valued at 2.00 As far as selling my son did a quicky auction and got 27. for a roll of 82-Ds, UNC being FMV valued at .96 each. He was here awhile ago and said he he had alot of mailing to do tomorrow I sold a roll of Ps and a few other things to people I know. My son will probably put a roll or two together tonight. This stinki' box I'm in now appears to have gotten wet at some point. Wouldn't be so bad, but it's my last one till 9 tomorrow morning.

My guide says the '82, '83, and '84 sell for a premium. Should I save all of these coins? Or is there one in particular that has real value. I found at least a roll of them all. I got about 35 buffs in the box too.

I totally commend your patience with nickels, and applaude that you kept track of them to share here. Just a couple of minor issues, though...

Your 100% partial collar is actually the center out of a "lucky coin" encasement. It's not an error at all.

Your "lamination peel" isn't...it's just glue or something stuck to the coin.

Coppercoins, There isn't anything added to the coin. The Jeff is actually missing metal. He has one in front of his face as well.
Thanks for enlightening me about the other. My son just sold it. Guess I'll toss the others.
