Todays halves haul, sitting on top of the worst String cents box I have ever opened. One Wheat cent, one 2000 Wide AM, and a dozen or so canuck pennies. Plenty of copper cents which I will save in case the mint ever relaxes the "no melt" ban. Halves...one 65, one 66, loads of 67s, several 68-d and 69-d, one 2001-s and one 2005-d. Plus the peso...  21 - 40% coins makes an ok day. Still waiting for that 90% to show up...have yet to see one since I started searching rolls again... happy hunting! - 50c |

Hello All:
Did another box, and only found one 40%--a 68D--but did find two 1991-Ps that were prooflife. Anyone know anything about this, i.e., was it a new die or something? I know that new dies can look prooflife, take for example the 1878-S Morgans. But I have never seen this in Kennedys. When I first saw them, in fact, I was sure they WERE proofs but then I realized that only San Fran did proofs then.

I had several rolls of 1989 p and d coins that looked prooflike too......no idea what was up with that , but they were nice coins with strong strikes. I sent 2 of them to pcgs and they came back 64 and 65 (not bad for somethnig found in a roll)
That chinese coin has real nice detail on the wall design

Chuckster, wow, the Chinese coin is sure somewhere out of left field, huh? Nice though....
SDcoin guy- I live in so cal but search in the riverside area, I do believe there are some hunters here already or else I'm tipping off the tellers!

6 boxes today:
A big whopping : 3 - 40%
I guess it's better than nothing. :)
But I did have someone bring me some halves and ikes he had I believe with the halves; 1-90% 1964 and 3 or 4 40% I think I will buy those tommorrow but not the ikes.

Update on the Chinese coin. It's a 1 Yuan from the People's Republic of China and worth around $2.00 US in uncirculated condition. *2 more boxes to go today* *SDcoinguy: Price wise on the 1972DDO- its worth around $15.00 to $20.00 in that condition according to Bill "Found in Rolls". If it were in real nice shape, its worth even more than the more popular 1974D DDO according to Bill. Probably around $60.00 to $70.00 for it as opposed to around $40.00/$50.00 for the 74D I take my time with each roll and look at every coin, so its no big deal to look for certain variety's/errors besides just going for the "SILVER"!

Thanks 50cent. I'll try that before goo-gone. Since they are most likely out of an album, they are in really good shape - the front at least. I wonder if the glue is successfully removed, would they be grade-worthy... I probably won't get them graded, though, I just like having the bullion.

Try boiling the coin in water to get the glue off.

picked up 10 loose halves at the bank - one 40% (1967), nothing special in the rest.
I'll take it.
