I can't decide if I should be happy (for Bish) or frustrated (because I've never found a Walker, or even a full roll).

I have never found a Walker or a full roll either. I did find the miracle 1957 Benjamin yesterday though (see previous post on the miracle coin).

I hope to find some full rolls one day though. Hopefully, they will have some serious error coins and be in almost mint condition. Hey, if you are going to hope for something major might as well go big.

After filling the coin counter with half dollars, my bank said that I can bring in loose coins to ship off to verify the count. I can expect a deposit into my account in no more than 2 days. This will really make it easier than rolling and dumping at multiple banks. I will have to try to order more boxes from another bank.

I found this 1990 P, not in perfect shape but when I first saw it I thought it was a proof, it has a nice mirror finish, very proof like. Have any of you found any non-proof coins that look like proof coins?

Looks polished/whizzed, teach.

Check out this box I picked up today, in particular, the writing on top of it.

On 3/15/91, silver was trading at $4.03 an ounce according to KitCo.

That's the million dollar question eh?

Only one ender, a '68. We'll see a bit later tonight if there's anything real good in there.

Found my second decent error coin.

1972-D NO FG

I have looked extremely close with my Gemoro 10x loupe, and am now pretty sure I have the real thing. I might upload a picture of it here if anyone would like to help confirm / deny my conclusion.

Wierd looking box, sealed with machine wraps and delivered fresh for a pick up? Same wrappers you usually get?


Nothing for me today, 6 boxes all skunks. Yesterday went to my second pick up of 6 boxes, usually carry 3 out (cubes) and come back in for the other 3. The bank bought me a cart.....lol...My teller said " look what "...." (the manager) bought you" , they had my boxes loaded up on it for me to wheel out to my truck.

yep think last tuesday was part of a collection dump and today I may have got the last box

box 1) 42-walker, 2-64, 67, 68, and another trick coin
box 2) 66, 69, 77-proof worth keeping
box 3) skunk
box 4) 1-65

just kills me to think what I might have missed, need to turn this bank up to 8 boxes 2x a week, should have 12 boxes tomorrow.

Different boxes, different wraps, halfhunter. I'm FB friends with one of the tellers there, I just asked her where the box came from.

"Some old lady said her husband had a few of them laying around, he recently passed away and she cashed them in to help pay funeral expenses. We have three more if you want them!"

I'm grabbing them tomorrow, lol.

KenScott, never hurts to toss some pictures up. :)
