PICTURES ADDED OF DDR's - Several firsts this week
I had a very interesting CRH'ing week this week. Posted 5 or 6 firsts for me.
Halves - Went to pick up my boxes this week only to find two of them had been replaced with a bag, which is always a good thing. However, I knew I was in trouble when I didn't see any lint, pennies or other junk in the bottom of the bag. The bag was a skunk which is my first ever bag skunk.
Dimes - Was lamenting that I would never find a proof dime because I only edge check them. In a CWR roll of dimes I pulled out a very nice 1962 proof dime! My first proof dime, oldest proof silver and my second oldest proof coin ( found a 1960 cent ender a couple of weeks ago). Also pulled a beautiful 1900 V nickel, my first out of a MWR, 5th overall V this year.
Quarters - Now that I'd found a proof dime I only need a proof quarter to have every denomination covered. As I was machine dumping a mixed load is odds and ends I notice a quarter that needed further examination. I pulled an '07-S Wyoming clad proof out my own dumps. This is my first proof quarter.
Nickels - Pulled a dateless 1913 Buffalo out of a roll, my first 1913 Buffalo. Earlier in the week I pulled a very nice 1989-P nickel with a sizable clip at 7 o'cock and nice presentation of the Blakesly effect. The is my first good clipped nickel.
Week totals
29 wheats - including 1917, 1919
1900 V Nickel
2 dateless Buffalo's
4 war nickels
Nice clipped nickel, a '71-S and several nickels under 10MM production.
4 silver Rosie's including the 1962 proof.
1 clad proof quarter, 11 gold plated state quarters
20 40% halves, all loose or CWR, plus a clad proof and a bunch of NIFC's.
And maybe the key to it all, I found a bank who offered (I didn't even ask) to order me bags of IKE's. I asked 'are you sure they're the big dollars?" Teller said "Yeah, the Eisenhower dollars, the big ones. I have a way to order them but you'll need to take $1,000 of them. I've ordered them in the past." So there should be an order arriving next week with 1,000 IKE's, or hopefully 996 IKE's, 2 Morgans, a Peace dollar and an ASE! We'll see how that goes, would be my first IKE bag. I have to drive a comically long way to get the bag but curiosity will fuel me. I think I can set up a regular IKE pick up I'd have to do it.
Overall an interesting week for me. Disappointed with the penny results and that MWR and bag Halves were all skunks but still a decent week. The proof dime and V nickel where really cool to find.
