lincolncentguy,
I already have a 8166 Dansco complete with BU coins from Mints sets.

I have just been putting all the proof halves that I find in a roll. Over 2 rolls so far.
Going big this week with 18 boxes! Going to be fun!

I have been getting yellow flat boxes lately and every one of them has been nothing but junk.

No, that looks like corrosion to me. The ones I found are all proofs and blackened on one side or around the edges.
Here is a 1996s I found. It is blackened on both sides.

Rest in Peace

I'd bet a dollar to a donut that coinstar is checking for silver. Extra profits for them.

Might be true with machines in banks (where they don't get their 9%), but I've seen reports where grocery store machines reject silver.

Good I hope coinstar does reject silver, some person will have to spend it and it will get back in circulation where some lucky person will find it hopefully.
Whats with the 9% at the bank machines will you elaborate
on that please.

was talking with an uncle of mine today about half-dollar roll searching. He said he is in good with a person at his bank that controls the vault. He is an old time commercial customer with a big accounts, he said the person he knows asked him last month if he wanted any Franklin halves, he asked "how many do you have" and she said "forty rolls", he took them all! He is going to show them to me next time I visit. What a haul! makes me salivate just thinking 'bout it. If I can get pics will post them.

Did my 2nd box today found a scratched up 1984 proof and on my 3rd from the last roll, got a 1967. So thats 2 for 2 on the 40% silver in my 2 boxes. Will be searching $1000.00 bag next week. maybe some better luck?
