Only thing of real interest I have found in the other denominations was a triple clip nickel. HH all.

Ok my best find yet... I went to the bank to cash a check and I deside to get some rolls. I got two rolls of half dallars and 1 roll of the new ND quarter. When I go to the car I notice that they both half dollar rolls had 1967 written on them. So I look at a few while still at the bank in my car and yes they were 1967 so I deside to go back in and ask the teller if she had any more half she said just 16.50 worth I said I would take them. On the 3rd roll it said 1965,1966. So when I got back to work I went throw the rolls and yes all the rolls were 40% silver rolls. had 1 half rolls of 1967, half a roll of 1965 and half a roll or 1966 and a few 1968. So I would say that today was a great find.

I did, I am not going to clean them. Acaully I had to go back to the bank after work and get a few more rolls. in one of the two roll I got a 1964 half dollar. I am down to 16 half dollar left for the whole set. I got all of them out of rolls except the 1987 since can only get them out of mint set and also the 2002-2006. It has been lot of fun. I have been collecting half for about a month now.
I called my local dealer when I got back to work to see what he is paying for 40%halfs he is giving 1.25 each so now I am trying to deside if I am going to sell them or not also my uncle who collect coin said he would match it if I wanted to sell. so I am not sure if I am going to put them away for a few week and see what silver does. or sell them. not bad spent 30 dollar and I can make 45 dollars.

I found a 2003 Counterfeit $2 in amongst 2 rolls from the bank. I took it back inside to show the teller. She looks out for 'strange' coins for me. She called me the next day and told me she had found another, which she gave me. She also gave me a: - 2000 South Carolina D Quarter
- 1996 Quarter P
- 2000 Virginia D
- 2003 Illinois P
- 1963 English Shilling, and
- 2 2006 Australian rabbit ear errors
All these coins (apart from the rabbits) were passed off as Australian 10 cent pieces. The quarters are fractionally larger. I had provided the teller with a few scanned photographs of commemorative coins worth watching out for. She's only too happy to search through her coins and give me a call. She particularly lets me know when new rolls come in. There is nothing quite like an uncirculated error coin. |
