Hmm, I typed up a reply, but I guess it disappeared. In my opinion, I'm guessing this is a 63 due to a couple hits under the memorial and a few rim dings on the reverse, but knowing
TPG's these days, it'll go 64 because the luster is awesome.
As far as slabbing it, I'm hesitant because it will have to piggyback on a dealer submission and those can take a little while... I'd prefer to just sell it right now... Might not need to sell it, though, as I just got word I should expect a much better job offer than what I currently have within a week or so.
I've been roll-searching since early September... hardcore searching for
WAM's and ClAM's since maybe a bit before Thanksgiving. Found a 1998, a bit dirty, to accompany this one yesterday. My finds from then to the end of 2010 were as follows;
Dimes; $26,520.50 searched. 44 Mercs, 226 roosies found. One in every hundred dollars was silver. Biggest single box score was 19 Mercs and 8 Roosies in a $250 box. Best bag score was 60 silver Roosies in a $635 bag.
Halves; $35,867.00 searched. 6 Walkers, 10 Franklins, 19 1964's, 149 40%'s found. One half in every $200 was silver. Best box was 1 Walker, 1 1964, and 12 40%'s. Best bag was 2 Bens and 11 40%'s in $150.
Nickels; $3,926.00 searched. 1 v-nickel, 55
Buffalo nickels, and 46
War Nickels. One
War Nickel per $85.35, one buff nickel per $71.30. Best
War Nickel box was 4
War Nickels, and best
War Nickel bag was 5
War Nickels in $135. Best buffalo box was 16 buffalos, honorable mention to a box 2 days earlier that had 14.
Quarters; $6,502.00 searched. 7 silver Washington's found. One quarter every $928.75 was silver. All were distributed as the lone silver in the box.
I didn't track the cents, but I'd estimate I looked through $500 or so. Pulled copper at about a 25% rate, along with a dozen or so rolls of wheat cents, and a lone
IHC.
