Great (and bad) news!
Yesterday while I was dumping some coins (and getting some coin wrappers), I asked if customers are able to order coins yet (last I heard, my bank couldn't really order coins for customers due to the "coin shortage") and got the reply (I'm paraphrasing): "Well, no, except for dollars and half dollars, I think"
So, what did I do? I ordered a couple of boxes of halves of course!
Before now, the most boxes of halves that I have ever ordered was 1 box (because I also got nickels and pennies [which I can't do now]) but this time I ordered 3
I will definitely update this thread once I get them (on Thursday/Friday) and hunt through them.
Let's just hope they aren't all brand new 2021s.

Just picked them up this morning-they aren't brand new (yahoo)! Starting to hunt them in a few minutes, and I will post the finds (most likely) in a few days.

Looking forward to it. Those are some nice finds and great close up camera work on the statue of Lincoln. That can be tough to photograph.

I always like finding the no "FG"'s. More valuable than silver sometimes.

Just finished hunting 2000 nickels (a box). This was definitely my best box ever! I found several "firsts" Here is the cool stuff that I found (I won't bore you with the common older Jeffs and such ) First, I looking at the enders not expecting anything (never found any cool nickel enders before) and stumbled across my first ever silver ender (and first ever War Nickel ender), a 1943-P! Found a 1923 buffalo. Next, as I was working my way through one of the rolls, I was surprised by a V-nickel reverse about half way through the roll all of the sudden and I immediately snapped a photo before I checked the date (1907). Next, as I was going through a roll, I pulled out a coin with a 80's looking reverse, flipped it over and-POW-it was a 1938! This is awesome since somehow I hadn't been able to pull a first year Jefferson yet and I needed it for my folder badly. Lastly, I found two laminations. I found a 1960 with a Lam that goes all the way across (although hard to see in photo) the obverse, and a 1941-S with a big ol' Lam on the reverse     Elliot Mitchell Experienced coin roll hunter with 5+ years in the hobby My Registry Type Set: https://www.NGCcoin.com/registry/co...sets/334324/My IS Type Set: http://goccf.com/t/411655My Want List: http://goccf.com/t/408555My Ebay Store: https://www.ebay.com/usr/coinhunter...047675.l2559 ANA # 3204217, CONECA # Y-6505 Edited by CoinHunter4
