tonight I picked a very well-scattered $1.33, some really terrible coins, most of them roadrashed to some degree, but keepers nonetheless. that's only the third time so far this month that I've found $1 or more.

tonight was even better, I scored more than twice as much as last night. tonight started when I picked three quarters from a drive-up window area, which was great, but I figured that was going to be the best find of the night, ie, no guarantee of $1+... a while later I picked a pair of quarters from an ice machine coin return:  toward the end of the route I discovered that some kind soul left me a tidy pile of coins at an air-vac:  $2.97 on the night... one of the lincoln cents I picked was a 1970-S with roadrash:    ouch... I would have kept that if it had no roadrash.  oh well... still a very above-average night. tubes fill a lot faster. I wrapped a full roll of quarters on sunday, cycle 20 now at $159, and I have nearly topped a full roll of dimes and two full rolls of zincolns, so cycle 20 will reach $165 soon.  |

Nice finds, MrPink! It seems that news of the cent's demise were greatly exaggerated because you're still finding them.

Excellent finds! Quote:

yes, and tonight was just as good. for only the fifth time this month (and third consecutive night) I scored $1+. I managed to pick a well-scattered $1.55, although the bulk of tonight's find was deja vu-like as I picked four nice new quarters from the same drive-up window area as last night (last night I picked three quarters there). I noticed this detail last night, too: those nice new quarters I've picked up there are the 2026 mayflower & pilgrims:  lucky me. they're flinging to the ground those nice new quarters. I got 'em before they got trashed. tonight's pickins topped-off a zincoln tube and the dime tube, so cycle 20 officially sits at $165. Edited by MrPink2018
