a first for me :)

[JeffG]

So I was dumping a bag of halves and the merchant teller said she had $80 in rolled halves someone just brought in and $500 in dimes from customers. I of course took them all and had to come back to work (the nice part of being 1099'd) I decided to open 1 roll before I came into my office and YESSS!



Now I am not getting any work done as I think about the other rolls.

Good Luck,

Jeff

Awsome score there Jeff! I have been waiting for one of those to pop up for over a year now! I've searched hundreds of boxes too. HH, Maverick.

I am also dreaming of the 1970, as well as silver proofs of any year, and silver comems. I have found a barber in the wild, plenty of walkers, plenty of bens, and plenty of 90% kens. Lucky guy! Post your other pics from the finds later, please!?

Thanks very much guys! Went home for lunch and unfortunately I did not get the solid rolls I was day dreaming about as the 70 was the only find. I am not complaining though as the first find of something is always the best

I will go through dimes tonight, than 8 boxes of halves tomorrow so will let you all know.

Good luck,

Jeff

Very nice find Jeff!! Is it a 1970-D? It's a beaut! Two weeks ago I found my first 70-D and 70-S in two different boxes, but they both had the same dirty paint on them. Yours looks great!!! Puts mine to shame. Haha

 

[JeffG]

FlFinder, yes it is the D and is in very nice shape. That is awesome you found 2 in one week!!

Good luck,

Jeff

It was bittersweet since they were so ugly. Lol Yours looks great and the D has a lower mintage than the S.

So I did the $500 in dimes last night and got 3 rosies. I'll take it.

Good Luck,

Jeff
