I need to learn what to look for on the NIFC and whatnot, is the Cherry Pickers Guide my best bet? I think I can get 3 or 4 banks to order for me, I was thinking of asking for 4 boxes from each bank, some I can probably do twice a week. I was doing copper pennies but I think while I go back to school for the next 5 months I will just focus on silver, way faster.

Earle42, the Rail Authority Officer stopped me from taking pictures Sunday. He gave me a phone number to call to get permission for photos. I know of another area of the track that is not patrolled as much.

M0nks, that is a great score with the CWR. I think I'll go to a couple of banks and see what they have.

yvairguy, I don't think the Cherry Pickers Guide has much information on the newer NIFC's. From 2002 to present. Good luck on finding Silver.

Shoot 11 years out of date on what I want to do, not too good, I tried to find the post Earle42 was talking about and went back about 15 pages and couldn't find anything.

Anybody have a good web page for info on what to pull for the JFK coins?

dumping back the half dollars today I came across a gold plated bicentennial that I didn't catch just edge searching, makes you wonder what else I tossed back.

yvairguy - hope the list there also was what you were looking for. The 71-D DDO I am hoping ti to find had obvious doubling on the words "WE TRUST."

The 71-D DDO where the doubling is on the "IN" in "IN GOD" and on the "TY" in LIBERTY is easy to find.

Hope you find something good - if you have questions feel free to PM me. I have only been doing this for less than a year, but have been able to glean a lot of info from everyone else. I have the Cherry Pickers and actually like the books, but admit some of the pics are somewhat lacking (not that I could do better at present either though). But I was not even aware a 72 DDO looks just about as good as a 74DDO until fellow CCF Family member Chuck found one, saved it for me, and sold it to me.

I am still amazed more and more since I have now gone through 4138 recorded 72s (and 10 boxes prior to that I did not even total) and still have not gotten a 72 DDO besides the one I bought from him.

OK couldn't stand it when I was moving it from the truck something had the sound of silver so I opened everything, a lot of the CWR were marked with the years on the wrappers and I was hopeful that there would be some old rolls, nope. but the bank rolled stuff had some of the widest date ranges and the coin looks like it was rolled yesterday I set it aside and I will have to get a half dollar book. Will search for errors tonight. A LOT of the coin from this bank shows signs of coin roll hunters, lots of spray paint, markers, nail polish, etc.

I did get 2 of my banks to order halves for me today, it will give me 4k a week to search from one and 2k from the other, BofA asked me to start ordering today so I need to figure out how much I can actually turn a week before I go all crazy ordering.

Found these in my last box along with 5 NIFCs.

Just one silver, nicely toned I think.

Someone marked the reverse on this one.. It must have come right out of a mint set. when I saw it I was sure it was a proof because the edges are so sharp. apparently they weren't interested.

This one is pretty neat I think.. the date and face are well struck but just about everything else is really mushy.

on a whim and for the first time in months, I decided to ask for halves with my dime order...
when they brought them out, they were the same brown paper bag type wrapper I get skunked on every other time I asked at this bank in the past... they had $300 in customer rolled, so I thought what the hell,
boy am I glad I did...

16x 40% mostly 67's
2x 90% 64's

also got 2 dimes, 48s, 63-d
