1 box of nickels. A handful of pre 1960's and S, 2 more 2009, and a highly lustrous 1970D and 1970S and a 1963. 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 halves 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.

Two boxes a day, trapper? One day I hope to step up to the big leagues like you guys. If I'm lucky, I get to five rolls at a time.

This is really interesting. I have a question though. Which bank do you go to if you don't mind me asking? I go through rolls as well but my bank is always on my rear because they say that it costs them $25 dollars per box of rolls to have them shipped. I think that if I ordered as many rolls as you my bank would be very upset! Maybe it's just my bank I use a regional small bank, Atlantic Stewardship bank.

Nice results that you are showing though. I bet you can sell some of your finds in this forum or elsewhere. Gotta have a lot of time to do the searching though.

Keep keeping us posted :-)
