I picked up my usual order of two boxes and was pleased with the results! Finally got my first walker! 2 90% and a 40% is great as I normally only get 1 or 2 40%'s lately. http://img821.imageshack.us/i/dsc01048xd.jpg (here's the link since imageshack doesn't work here for me, the thumbnail doesn't appear as one, it appears as the full image..  Also pulled a 1971 impaired proof, and 6 NIFC's. |

Received 2 boxes from BofA. Got an awesome 1957 Franklin proof https://goccf.com/t/76317&5-40% Now this really irks me...also found a 1997 UK 50p, 1970 France 5 Francs, and a 1928 English Large Penny. The 1997 50p isn't even round!! I think I might have been shorted 2 coins as well! Patty...I know you buy a lot of BofA boxes...have you run across a lot of foreign coins? If so, are you able to take them back to the bank and get credit? I thought about asking the branch manager about that. |

Hey Russ, better to see some cool foreign coins than another 1974 Ken, right?
I'd be thrilled to find that 1928 British penny!

Russ: I haven't got any foreign coins at all but did get a Presidential dollar in the last batch and a Martin guitar pick in the one before that. The guy at the bank was reimbursing me for shortages, especially after he gave me 1 box too many and I pointed out to him I could use the $ but that isn't the right way to go about that. A week or so ago he said they couldn't reimburse for shortages any longer but I have only been down about a buck in the past 30 or so boxes. Supposed to pick up 28 boxes on Monday and will try to get another 10 on Wednesday. Be safe Patty |

Russ:
I count the roll as I go through it and any halves that come out are made up for by adding one from "spares" pot nearby. I dispose in incriments of bags of $500 so I know if the counter machine is off or not...
Be safe

two rolls this weekend, one I picked up locally when I stopped to make a deposit. 2 x 2009D and a 2009P. That was interesting.
then my dad came by and gave me a roll he picked up. I looked through it a few hours later when I went home, and 2 1953D franklins! I was totally stoked as I have never found silver in a roll, much less franklins.
called him to tell him what he had given me and to go get me every roll in that bank. he started laughing... proceeds to tell me he bought the franklins in a coin shop and planted them. I guess it was fun while it lasted, thinking I had gotten two franklins in one roll, but hats off to him. it was a pretty fun day of roll searching!

8 box total for the weekend = 0 silver.
That is not a misprint. Unbelievable that a search of 8000 coins would yield not a single one older than 1971. Oh well, on to next week.
Obla, to answer your question, my coins come from Guarda.

How do you dump so many halves? I think I'd fill up the machine with 14 large in halves - probably get banned too!
