This "Lombardo" - maybe Tri-State Area?

I'm in Northern NJ.

I've gotten coins with some sticker advertising a Pizza Joint in Pa also.

Went through $1400 over the last couple days. Found almost all marked coins in the first $1300, finally started seeing mostly unmarked during the last hundred dollars. Got down to the last 3 rolls and was disappointed that I found nothing, finally the last $30 I found a single 1968. Puts me at $2400 in halves searched, finding 1 40%

M0nks,

Hey, you can say things are looking up? :)

Anyway, I have about $350 worth of halves left to go through this afternoon.

Question:

Does anyone keep 1988Ps and 1988Ds?

I see they have a higher value, but I also seem to be getting quite a
few of them in my searching. If I am finding them, I am wondering if I may just be on a lucky streak or if they
are a bit more common than the RedBook value would lead one to believe.

M0nks,

I have found around 60 in my last two boxes plus about just as many in my first few boxes. I think I may go through them and keep the BUs or better.

TheDanMan,

I haven't found any silver enders yet, but I have only done a few boxes.

Chuckster, I am in Southern Westchester and have also seen "Lombardo" marked coins. But, I have found a lot of marked rolls that have silver in them so I don't get too discouraged.

I'm up in Worcester, MA and I believe I've seen one Lombardo coin... I only recall because I had to rotate the coin a few times to decide what it said.

My absolute worst boxes ever......4 boxes...... ONE 1979 proof.
NO silver
NO NIFC
NO foreign

This batch was well picked over! Things are getting slim, am thinking about changing banks for source material for a while and see if my luck improves
