I'm up to $230 in halves and haven't found anything worthwhile yet. The bank has a box on order for me next week. She said she usually keeps one in stock because there is someone else that does it. Felt sorta bad buying up $200 of his halves, but he didn't miss much. Just scanned the edges thus far though, so I want to go through and look for nice ones before next week.

I've got a dump bank already. The manager would only sell me $10 worth of pennies because I didn't have a business account, and they charge their businesses for coinage. (which is interesting because I asked at a different branch of the same bank and this teller is overly helpful in getting me whatever I want, with no complaints)

I tried sending myself a picture, but it's not working for some reason, but here's my story: Basically I'm stuck here in STL with Brinks for coins for searching. Which some people say is fine, but up until tonight I was 100% sure that there is somebody else here searching and somehow shotgun rolling the kennedies in generic packages. About 19 out of 20 boxes from Brinks are this generic wrapped stuff and they are always (1) marked and (2) usually contain completely destroyed coins at a rate of about 3 per box.

Literally all 500 of the coins will have a black dot on the eagle in sharpie and about half will have a dot on kennedy's ear (there are sometimes some other marking, too). I went on a pretty long skunk streak -- I don't keep track, but judging the boxes, I'd say about $5,000 - $6,000 worth without a silver. Going through a box tonight, though, all the coins were dotted as usual and I ripped open a roll and to my surprise I saw that there were two silvers right next to each other. I told myself I'd keep them sandwiched in between their dotted kennedy brothers until I finished the box and I'd see what they were as a nice treat to end the skunk rolls (also confused as to how this guy rolling these left those 2 in).

Once I finished the rest of the box I flipped one of the kennedies off and saw a Franklin! I was shocked, because this was my first Franklin -- and guess what was under him: Another Franklin! amazing.

yepee happy 500. Because of changes in my work schedule I've moved my weekly roll search to tomorrow. Hopefully I'll have better luck.

Thanks Murrellington.

This site is extremely helpful, now I have to make my way over to the Ancient coin section and see if anyone can identify some of these coins I have.

I have another box coming in on Tuesday, not expecting anything near what I got, but hopefully no skunks.

Great find rawmeat!

I have a lot of marked coins too in my boxes, brinks or otherwise, especially the infamous "SM" that makes its rounds in Southern CA.

Holy Crap Ricardo- That is the oldest date anyone's ever found in rolls as far as I know.

NICE!
