WOW! A seated! 1875! I met a guy at a coin show who found a seated searching one time. He also found a Barber quarter which I thought was even more amazing

Did four more boxes today found these, the first Benny
is a proof in quite nice condition the scan did not come out well. The last coin on the bottom is a 1971 proof
it is black all around the edges but scan does not show this well. I believe this was in a fire this is the second one I found that appears to have been in a fire, The first one had melted plastic on it. Got a bunch more boxes ordered hope to get them before Saturday
Happy holidays to all

I tried white & black paper messed with the contrast
but could not get the proofs to look normal.
Maybe, I need to use a camera.

Trapper: Where did you get these boxes/what part of the country are you from?

Also, I noticed that someone earlier said that CWRs are better. I've had absolutely zero luck with them. Over 2 boxes and not a thing. I've had much better luck with boxes from the bank. Though I think I stumbled onto someone's dump bank lol

I thought I was getting clever, but I got shot down. I called my local credit union which I do business with and asked them if they would allow me to buy the coins from the machine. They told me they're not allowed to touch the funds in the machine. A company comes and maintains the machine. UGH! Anyway, it reminded me of the bank I go to do my dumps at... they have a machine which has a sort of vault which is locked and can be removed and wheeled off. I saw a company coming and picking that whole insert up and loading it onto a huge truck. Oh well!

yea I tried somthing like that, last time I droped off all my pennies and nickles, they had to refill the bags. When the opened it up I saw a huge bag of halfs I asked if I could buy the bag, but I guess that was all off limits to me and the bank.
