New to the site... Figured I'd share my best find...

EDIT: These pics are coming up huge for me, however the place I have them hosted at definitely has them way smaller... let me know if they're too big and I'll figure something else out.

So, I'm new to this site, but not to roll searching, thanks to cointalk. I was recently banned for reasons we won't get into, so I need somewhere else to rant and rave about my roll finds, and that is going to be here. With that said, I basically started out with halves, had some luck, but that pretty quickly disappeared. I think, to date, I've searched around $17,500 in halves and found about $300 melt value in silver.

So I tried my luck in dimes, and it's been a lot better. Then, just under a month ago (8/19), I got my best box to date. 19 mercs, 8 roosies, for a total of 27 silver dimes. The best roll had 5 silvers, 4 of which were Mercs... Took the first pic below right after I pulled 'em outta the roll. The other pic is the finds from that box. Things have dried up in dimes since then, and I've moved on to nickels (4 buffs in 5 boxes, 6 silvers) and now back to halves. My most recent purchase of halves was $92 from a coin counting machine that yielded 3 40%'s and a '42 Walker in F+.

Yeah dimes were fun until they dried up. Pulled 100 silver dimes in about 5 weeks, $6,500 or so searched. The Philly area sucks for roll searching.

And figuring that silver is up 32c/oz today to $20.47, a U S silver dime is worth $1.50 EACH for its silver content. Keep searching for the silver....I use my metal detector.

Hey LTrain welcome! I discovered this site through cointalk myself, sorry you got banned there, sounded like a bad rap. Anyway hope you find a ton of silver! I got skunked today on my box, oh well.

Welcome aboard, I've lurked on cointalk lately and seen some of your finds in the coin roll thread. I wonder if that's where Obediahs gone?

Thanks guys, and yeah, I'm not very happy with why I got banned. Suffice to say, kids under 10 shouldn't be on forums to start with.

Did some more today, I might just make this my regular updating thread since my finds usually suck. Nothing in $250 quarters, 1 silver dime in $250 dimes, and a roll of 1960 and earlier nickels from $100, including an AU 1960 DDR-016.
