Just finished a box and thankfully my 3 or 4 box skunk streak came to an end. I found 7 40% (yay me ) I also found 2 NIFC and a gold plated 1985 Kennedy ! Where on earth did that come from?

Hello Everyone,

I am now about done with my second box and I have found a 1964 D as well as about
six new proofs including a 1976-S and 1972-S to mention just a few. Also, I have found
a mother-load of almost mint 1988-P halves.

I still have 12 more rolls to go so I will try to give a tally when done. I also have some nice
2000P halves, in addition to some other harder to find dates.

BTW, I think I let a silver slip through so I am going to do some edge searching as I wrap those I have not kept.

Last week two boxes, yielded 12 pretty much brand new 2005 halves, and two 40%.
This week was my best ever, I feel lucky.
1st box 10 40%, and 3 90% 63 Franklin, and two 1964 Kennedy.
2nd box 3 40%
That's exactly 3 oz. I'm pumped.

I did 2 boxes this week. First box had no silver and 2 2010. The second had 2 40percent that both had a marker on them. In one roll there was a 40 percent, a proof 1983 and another 2010.

Searched 1000.
Found 0 silver.
Found 5 DDR's. 1971NMM DDR, 1972D DDR X 2, 1973D DDR

How much are DDR's worth when found in average circulated condition?

Oh my gosh, I did not realize there were DDRs on the 1971-1973s.

I can tell these two boxes have probably not yielded up everything yet!!

Tallies will follow later.

I didn't know about the DDR's either until stumbling across a youtube video. The guy showed one up close so we would know what to be looking for. Otherwise, I would be ignorant of them. To find 5 from my very first box was a blast! The double die reverse quarters go for over $125 each so am hoping for even better price with my halves.

I am now going to go back through all my 1971s to 1973s. As we know, that is a good percentage of the coins.

I also learned that on some of the 2000 P coins, the eagle is offset by 35 degrees on the back. This is something else I did not know about until I searched for price ranges on E-Bay and noticed someone had sold one for around $15 or so.

So, when going through the 2000 P coins, simply flip them horizontally and the offset should become quite obvious.

I have the Cherry Pickers Guide but mine does not cover the halves.

FINALLY got my first box in, on Thursday. It was a skunker, which was really discouraging.

I found a 2003, 2004, 2006. I also found this 1991.... which appears to be in amazing condition. I've read before that some are plated, is this worth keeping, or throwing back?

It's too beautiful to throw back. If you can afford to keep it then do so. Over time it will still gain in value. http://www.numismedia.com lists an MS60 at $3.45 but you can always check ebay and see what's selling and how much if you decide to sell.

"Sad part is that BB&T decided to implement a NO bank boxes for regular customers. Only for business customers and for a fee."

Ouch. Do you think this is a local decision or a bank-wide thing? What is the fee for business customers?
