Not trying to steal Rachums board about best roll finds of the year. Just looking to see what all of you found in 2011. I see a lot of your finds in your signatures. Let's post them all here. Got this idea from seeing fistfullofdirt's signature with his 2011 silver finds. Here's what I got:

40 boxes of cents:
-----------
1 Indian Head cent
311 Wheat Cents

56 boxes of nickels:
-----------
16 Buffalo nickels
42 Silver War Nickels

53 boxes of dimes:
-----------
2 Mercury dimes
65 Silver Roosevelt dimes
1 Canadian Silver Dime

0 boxes of quarters (Cash register find):
-----------
1 Silver Washington quarter

$142.50 face value of halves searched:
-----------
1 Walking Liberty half dollar
3 40% JFK Halves



This was my first year of searching and I didn't start until february/march.
(list doesn't include varieties I found or proofs)

Wow murry you must do a box a day to get that much silver! I only searched nickels in 2011, and started at the end of May.

26.4 boxes yielded:

1 Liberty
9 Buffalo
25 Silver
4 Proof

I already did box #1 for 2012 the other day and found nothing of interest. Well, on to the next! Good luck this year, searchers!

Nice going. Lots of stuff popping up due to the economy and people dumping coins from old jars, cans, etc to the banks.
