I've been tossing my 2009's back. i'll keep em if they're stunningly beautiful, but for the most part they all go back in the pond. I realize it's a fairly low mintage, but I just cant get all that excited about it. maybe i'll kick myself in 5 or 10 years' time. we'll see.

i was keeping them because even the circulated rolls were selling for over $10 each on ebay. I just checked and it looks like the 2009 coins buying frenzy has worn down a bit. People were paying over $100 for an uncirculated 2009 p nickel roll. looks like people gained their sanity back. |

Box 24: A silver 45-P and a 1927 buffalo (solid G4). Nothing else but I'm pretty happy with the box.

Ive gotten like 10 or so 2009P and 3-4 2009D. I only keep them if they look nice and not all dirty or whatever.

Box #42 down  1 silver: 1942-P I'm changing my ratio to make more sense. 33/42 so 33 silvers out of 42 boxes. no buffs no proofs no V's 8 keepers altogether. Even with the reject pre60s I usually have more. Dates: 42CuNi 41-D Til next time |

I've been collecting various junk silver for a while now (I work in a bank... it's an easy hobby) came across this thread after finding my first War Nickel. Decided to start collecting a full set from 38-61 and I must say it didn't take long to get hooked. I search rolls a bit differently... I search about $20 a day and whatever random cwr's we take in. I estimate that I am a box and a half in and the results are good. I have filled 30 of 65 holes and have 2 silvers and a dateless buff on the tally. Here are results: 41 pre 1958 2 silvers 1 dateless buff 0 foreign coins Good stuff: 1951 1951 d 1952 d 1952s 1953s 1955. I know found it in my first box Thanks for the good thread I am enjoying the challenge! |

I found a dime in a fed wrapped roll yesterday; the roll had 1 dime and 39 nickels. First time that happened. Also found a fed wrapped roll that was 4 nickels short.

Rachums, working in a bank is great for collecting... most of my teammates think collecting is pretty strange (even just collecting silver) so they give me whatever I ask for that comes in. On the flip side I don't work on the teller line so I can't get too distracted with the hobby.

How do you go about getting many many boxes of coins. I have done a couple here and there and just tell them I'm working on a small project. How do you all go about this and what do you tell the bank?

@Finn235: Was that one box for all those Buffaloes?

Just tell them the truth. Most banks will work with you if you are curtious and polite. They can usually see through a lie.
