4 boxes and just some NIFC - back to re-order. I found this elderly guy who emailed me per my ad on craigslist...i bought mint sets from him and a 1909 au50 vdb penny and I asked him what else he had - you guys shouldve seen his collection! it was EPIC! he's selling it b/c his kids don't like coins and he doesn't want them going to waste so we're talking... wish me luck! :D

The boxes that I had hoped to get last week never came to be. I managed to scrounge up about $2000 in loose, CWR, and BWR to go through, although all of the CWR looked to be someone's dump. All told I managed to find 4 x 40%, 2 x 1974-D DDO, a 1994-S Proof, and plenty of NIFC. I also managed to find a total of 47 Ikes from two different banks. I should have at least 2 boxes this week, I just hope I still have some cash left by the time they come in. |

4 boxes nothing again like chuck I'm stopping till next month as well - going to just concentrate on dimes and sometimes throw in a quarter box or 2, plus its getting difficult for me to keep dumping the halves

6 boxes yesterday. All 6 boxes had at least 1 silver. 3 boxes had enders. 1 Franklin, 2 1964, 9 40%ers, 2 holed, 4 proofs, a counter stamped, 1 bubbled up core from a fire, a beat up 1974D DDO, and some NIFC.  |

is there a reason to keep coins that are holed other than the fact that they're rare and interesting? assuming theres no value to them at all right?

Quote:How many DDO and DDR are people finding per box? I'm guessing I would average 2 or 4 if I looked at every 71d, 72, 73d, 74d, and 77d. However, I typically only look at the coins that are AU or better. I probably average 1 or 2 with the 74d DDO representing a large majority. I know this may be surprising to some people but there are tons of the 74d DDO's and more of the others than I could have ever expected. I don't find many of the 72 DDO's but I'm guessing that's because the majority of my coins are Denver mint. OO |

Out of approximately 2250 boxes I have found 44 1974D DDO. I don't bother looking for the other dates as they are impossible to see unless the coins are uncirculated. |

Holed coins (virtually any PMD actually) will still have the silver value if it's silver. Edited by Superhal
