I went to a coin show a few weeks ago and saw some walking liberties. I had seen the coin in photos but never in my hand, I immediately fell in love with the coin and I almost bought some of them but being a coin roll hunter I like to find my coins so I didn't buy them. Today I finished my 12 boxes of this week and I have found 2 walking liberties :hello2: I almost missed them because when I looked at the roll their edges looked just like clad..... thank god I check dates. I could not believe my luck. These 12 boxes were pretty good. In the first roll of the first box I found 7 40% coins. And in the second box I find 3 90% in the same roll. Finaly my last box produce 27 40%. Here is the final count:

1942: 1
1943: 1
1964: 12
1965: 1
1966: 3
1967: 9
1968: 16
1969: 10

Now I need to find a Frankling half dollar :headbang:

nice boxes Cuban!

Not sure how any 90% could ever be confused as clad :-) Maybe black from corrosion but thats always a flashing light to check!

You guys don't need to do a full date check either, just slide the roll out from one end when you open it so you can see about half of the surface of each coin. You will be able to hear & see any silver almost guaranteed this way.....then when you chuck them in the coin bag just pinch them together for a quick edge check before the bag toss.

That's my method and I do a box in 8-10 minutes this way. Of course if you are specifically checking for errors or dates for collections thats another story.

Hope you get more of the same good stuff!

HH,
