4 boxes since I last posted. one 40% 68D  one 72D no FG one 2011 D one 2009D one horrible 2003 D I threw back. Several 2001 P&Ds also catch and release. I also got 4 rolls of customer wrapped halves - hoping for something good, but... oh well. Got to find my stats papers from each to update my totals! |

I normally just do dimes, but my teller told me she had $15 of loose halves, so I decided to try them. They got me: 1 x 1969-D 3 x 1968-D 3 x 1967  In the future I will always get any halves my bank has!  |

I don't think many realize the silver value especially the 65to70 halves

Just finished box #1.
2 1967
I found them in the last 2 rolls. I thought this box was going to be a skunk for silver.
1 2002-P
2 2005-D
1 2005-P
1 2007-D
4 2008-D
3 2008-P
1 2009-P
I can't believe the number of 2008's. I have only found 2 2008-D's up to this point. I found it odd to find this many in one box.
Also, I found some really nice BU 1999's and 1971's. They really stood out. The edges looked flawless. Just out of the ordinary.
On to box #2.

Finished Box #2.
Almost a complete skunk. No silver and only 2 2006-D's.
I think these coins were mostly someone's dump. There were numerous coins that were marked on the edge. Also, this box contained far more 2001's than Box #1.
I plan on taking the coins to work tomorrow and giving them a acetone bath to remove any markings. This way they will be nice and clean for the next person to sort through.

After this blunder at the bank: https://goccf.com/t/134629What I left out of that story was as the teller opened the drawer to get my money, I noticed in his sorting tray almost $10 worth of halves. However, because the guy was so flustered with the dimes, I didn't get them. Kicking myself for not checking. I vow never to not ask another teller again to check their halves. =) Edited by MadMortician

Ben, I sell all my 40%ers to add to my payroll or buy coins with. I sold 10 rolls this week, netted $810 after the cost of the coins themselves. Reimbursed myself $100 for gas costs, dropped 30% into savings to cover my tax liability, and am left with $500 to spend on whatever the heck I want.

Yeehaw! I got another 74 D DDO out of a box!  Also got a 2004D, a 2002D NIFC, and one of the nicest looking 72Ds I have ever seen. This was out of 3 boxes though, so although the numbers are low, I like what I found. How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?
