2 boxes of halves. No silver, a few NIFC, and another stickered coin for a credit union 100 miles away that someone tried to peel it off (I already have 3 from them in my reject collection)

In a box of nickels I found highly lustrous 1970D and 1970S. I hope the matching 1970D half from this mint set that got cut up ends up in one of my next boxes.

Got shorted approximately $250-$300 dumping today. While I don't count my stuff ahead of time I use a container that holds ~$300 and I throw in another 6 or 7 rolls each ziplock bag. I had 4 bags to dump. The teller asked me how much I thought I had when he was almost done. I told him $1450. He said it wasn't that much. He brought the handwritten slip out and had $1102 written on it. I told him no way was that right. He went back behind the wall to the machine and then came back and said $1132. They hide the machine behind a wall so I can't see how many times they change the bag and when to get an estimate of how much there is. The teller said he went and looked in all of the bags to make sure that they weren't feeding into the wrong denomination causing the shortage. HE said they would have to balance the machine but if it counts wrong I don't know how they are going to come up with the right number running the same coins through a broken machine.

jack, sorry that happened to you, happened to me quite a few times (never quite got back the exact amount lost but usually its within 20 dollars) is this a TD bank penny arcade? I hate the ones that are in the back - I avoid those now they basically have to count the coins when the armored car takes the bags then whatever is over goes back to you. I hope you get your money back!

Processed 6 boxes over the last two weeks. Here are the results:

1988-S
1999-S
1989-S

1976 - gold plated
1973 - gold plated

2009-P - 15 of them
2007-D
2007-D - 2
2005-D - 2
2005-P - 3 (one with a vulgar female anatomy phrase etched into it)
2004-P

8 "holed" bicentennials - several more from other years

Lots of black sharpie "T" marks
Lots of black sharpie "808" marks on obverse.

Georgivs V Dei Gra:Britt:Omn:Rex Fid:Ind:Imp - Penny - 1919

No 40% or 90% yet again (only my beginners luck box last month which had 2 - 40%'s)

An absolute ton (probably at least 5-8% per box) of 1993's with brilliant luster. I only kept a couple of the best BU examples, the rest had bag marks or counting machine marks.
I find it weird that so many 1993's are in my area (Denton,TX).
Any explanation for this?

@northtexas55693: I had a couple of boxes last week with those black T's on them as well. It seemed like most of those marks were on bicentennials. I wonder how big of an area this guy has covered because I am in San Antonio. I did find a few 40% halves in those boxes though.

@northtexas55693 @tpmjr I have not got any black T marked half dollars yet in Houston. Is it normal for vaults to deliver halves from other vaults for example Dunbar has been delivering String and Son and Loomis half dollar boxes to my bank.

3 boxes of halves today.

Complete skunk. No silver, no NIFC, no errors, no proofs, not even a jacked up half for my reject collection.

At least I found an extra $360 in my account so I guess the bank admits they messed up counting my $1500 dump on Tuesday claiming it was only $1130.

I'm here in Fort Worth and get a lot of halves with the "T"
mark.
Also I have gotten 4 solid boxes so far of 1993D I sold several rolls on ebay, bought some gold with 1 box and dumped the rest. That is why you see so many here in north Texas.

@trent

I am sure it has been discussed in this thread already, and I am probably a little bit wrong but:
The way my bank lady says the process works is that when I dump coins with her, they go back to big bins at the fed (here in FTW I think) via carrier companies.
The fed, then bags them up and sends them out to carriers (Loomis, Brinks, Wells Fargo, etc) who roll them.
Then those carriers bring them back to the banks.

I think it is a blessing and a curse to be so close to a fed acceptance center.
I am fairly new to CRH, but I am already noticing patterns of the same marked coins showing up again and again and again.

I started marking my coins with blue sharpie (in JFK's ear and writing "817" on them). I now mark with an orange paint pen in JFK's ear only. Keep an eye out for them.

Also anecdotally, the "flat packs" that I have been getting are way "skunkier" than the cubes. The flat packs have also been 2-4 coins short of $500 pretty consistently.

@trapper

How much were you selling those 1993-D rolls on ebay for? Looks like $23-25 is the going rate. With shipping costs it looks like the profit is less than $1...?
