My box tonight had three rolls straight from the Mint with 2000-D Sacagawea dollars. Wonder if there are any MS69's in there. Edited by shotgung

No wounded eagles Fuzzy? When I get the boxes, I look for those, wide rim SBA's then varieties on the Presidentials. After reading an article on the missing lettering, now I hold the rolls and look at the edges to make sure I'm not missing any of those. |

I don't really look for most varieties. I mainly just look for missing edge lettering.  |

In order:
1. circulation, coin roll hunting. I've been going through 2 boxes of halves, and 2 boxes of another coin type each week.
2. Facebook. I have a saved search for "coins" in the marketplace. I pick some some deals and small collections off Facebook about 6 times a year, but I check my search daily to be on top of potential deals.
3. I go to the Fort Wayne, IN coin show once a year.
4. A local coin shop.
Circulation is my favor because its a hobby and its virtually free or slightly profitable. Coin roll hunting is fun to do with my boy!
Facebook and Craigslist take consistancy, but the deals are out there.

Went and picked up $600 in small dollars. First $300 were a bust. Second $300 yielded a 2000-P SAC Wounded Eagle, I'm guessing MS65 maybe pushing 66 and a 2008-D Andrew Jackson DDR-001. Not bad. Getting $1000 tomorrow so will see what that holds! |
