Penny, how long did it take you to go thru 3 boxes. Do you check all the coins for key dates or just look for silver? Do you reroll them? or turn them in loose? I pick my boxes up in the afternoon and by the time I get home I can go thru 1 box maybe 2 if nothing is on TV. I do uncrimp the rolls and reroll them which takes time but I think 3 rolls in a day is beyond me. Then of cource, I'm an old man.

Congradulation on your roll finds today. I picked up 12 rolls of halves today and 2 of the complete rolls 20 coins ( was all 1997 halves that was uncirulated ( One roll even had UNC written on it ) and both had started to tone in the wrapper. Also this week I found in circulation a one dollar bill with the serial # I I2521252 A

Goldinmypan,

It takes me approximately one hour to go thru one box of halves. I look at each half, date,mistrikes,proofs,silver the whole shabang. This includes re-wrapping them in new wrappers. I then spend approximately 15 mintues per box to write my bank account number on each roll. Today I took the three boxes in from last week and turned them into one bank and the teller was very friendly and wasn't put out by it. I usually take one box of halves to one bank,as I don't like to unload too many on one branch. Today I just wanted to see what would happen if I took all three in at one time. Btw, I watch television while I'm searching the rolls; I like to multitask. I'm no spring chicken, 42 yrs old but I think I have good manual dexterity.

Hi Richard,

It's amazing when you find halves that look uncircuated; I've had some from the 1980's that were in perfect condition. I found quite a few 2002 and 2004 halves in the first box today that looked uncirculated. Good luck with your searching.

WTG on the silver and the Benji, Pennyworth.

I watch TV too when I look thru boxes. Today it was The Price is Right, and believe me getting five 40%-ers at face value was the right price! It takes me about an hour too but I don't re-roll 'em. I just bring them to the casino and dump 'em off a couple of hundred at a time.

Three boxes in one afternoon is a lot to search but your finds are making it pay off.

Immy, Today I watched Law & Order SVU and Law & Order CI. If I had more money to buy boxes with, I could order as many as a want. The head teller says she will order as much as I want. Now if I could only find a way to get some more money...

Just an FYI, I am not sure which type of wrappers you are using, shotgun or flat, but I find it is much easier to write my account number on the flat wrappers before I roll the change. It might save you some time.

 

[goldinmypan]

So far the banks I've been using don't require me to write my account # on the rolls. I think they feel its just an added chore for them to scratch them out before sending them on. I did drop some off at the same bank in another town and they wanted my acct # on the rolls. I don't know if it was just that bank or what.

Congratulations, any time Ben visits, it's a happy day!

I found quite a few 2002 and 2004 halves in the first box today that looked uncirculated.

Penny, since 2002+ was only released as uncirculated, that's not suprising. I guess somone ordered some of those $35 P&D rolls from the US Mint website, and after they picked out the ones for their collection, they turned the rest into the bank for cash. Save all those 2002+, if you don't want them I'm sure someone will trade you for other dates you might not have.
