Congrats! The silver seams to be a steady stream for you lately.

Picked up a box of halves today, it gave up one 40%er: 1969D.

Also found a gold-plated coin that I marked back in March.

Picked up two boxes of halves yesterday, one of which was a skunk. The other box gave up eight 40%ers, three of which were reverse enders:

1966
1967 x 3
1968D x 2

The box also had 25 regular clad proofs, ten of which were bicentennials. The newest proof was a 2008S.

You seem to be doing very well. Very consistent. I think I would rather be consistent than have tons of skunks and then one great box. it gives me faith that there is more silver out there. Happy hunting.

Picked up two boxes of halves yesterday on my lunch break, found a 1964D Washington in the teller tray!

My first silver quarter in a long while.

Managed to snag two keepers between the boxes, a 90%er and a 40%er:

1964
1966

Haven't found a Washington in the wild in awhile either, nice find! I got a teller tray Washington once and one or two reject chute ones. Nice little silver streak going again, that's more like it!

Haven't done much hunting in the last month. Been busy doing house projects, working fence jobs, partying, and going on vacation and whatnot.

Last week I picked up two boxes of halves + two boxes of dimes. One box of each denomination was a skunk.

Between the second box of dimes and the second box of halves I found one Roosie and two 40%ers:

1946 Roosie
1967
1968D

Also managed to snag a 1964D Roosie from a Coinstar at my local Wal-mart.

Should be kicking up the volume again starting this week.

The box of dimes gave up one Roosie: 1962.

Nothing but skunks for me for the last couple of weeks or so. Dumped $250 in halves today on my lunch break and found $2.72 in the reject tray.

Out of that $2.72 I scored two silver Washingtons and a Ben!



Sorry, the picture is really blurry because I suck at taking pictures with my old-ass not-smartphone.

The breakdown:

1964 x 2 Washingtons
1954 Ben

 

[BuffaloBoy]

Nice job on the reject chute finds! I hear ya about the skunky mix lately, it has been affecting me also. Hopefully things start improving as it can't get much worse.

Some of us have yet to find one quarter per year. Nice catch.
