10 boxes of halves today in between dumping, picking up, and working on my house today.

No silver, a small stack of NIFC (1 marked with nail polish by some inconsiderate rival), a 2002S clad proof (marked by some other inconsiderate rival), a well worn, a Magicians coin, a lightweight 1972, a clipped planchet (marked by a 3rd inconsiderate rival), a rough 1974D DDO, 2 mulched up coins, and a blue anodized bicentennial (marked by a 4th inconsiderate rival)

Picked up a 1969 $100 star note while dumping. I've got to stop keeping these as it cuts into my hunting funds.

I weighed the Magicians coin (never bothered to weigh any of the other ones I've found in the past) and was surprised it weighed 10 grams given the hollow thud they make when bouncing them compared the slightly off ring of the lightweight coin which came in at 10.5 grams while other coins with the same off ring weigh in at the correct ~11.2 grams.

Nice small head star note. I have a couple of small head notes also. Nothing as nice as yours.

I decided to take all my NIFC's and circulated Clad Proofs back to the bank today. I have just been holding on to them and I never could decide what exactly to do with them. I was able to free up $770. They really add up. I won't be keeping any Clad Proofs or NIFC's from now on.

I have two boxes waiting for me at work tomorrow. It's going to be a good Friday.

Good luck to everyone.

FadeToBlack,

Do you wheel a dolly into the bank and wheel all those boxes out? I would love to do that many in one week.

Looks like all S & S boxes.

Same here where no matter what brand bank you go to they all carry Loomis boxes until for some reason S & S boxes show up and then all brand banks have S & S boxes for a few weeks until the Loomis wrapped boxes show up again.

I forgot to post the results of Friday's 2 boxes. Nothing special.

No Silver
3 Proofs: 1992, 2006, 2012. Odd to see a 2012. It was really impaired (rough cleaning). All returned to the wild.
I possible 1973-D DDO. It was in bad shape so I threw it back rather than scrutinize it at home.
7 NIFC's

This was the first time that I was able to dump the same amount of coins that I picked up. $1000 picked up and $1000 dumped. I didn't save a single coin.

I'm taking a break from Halves for a while. I have been getting marked coins for some time now. It's getting old. For the past couple of Months I have been washing all the marks off the Halves with acetone. I would throw $500 at a time in a metal bucket and let them sit for an hour then drain it off. This way the person who is marking them could be getting back their own dump and not know it.
