Not necessarily. For example, the post-2001 half dollars were generally only minted less that 3 million each. But they are relatively easy to find. I believe the toughest to find non-proof half to find is the 1987-D and P. They didn't make many that year and what few they made were for collectors. I've found 2 1987-D's and still looking for a 1987-P. A 1987 half is a nice find. Keep an eye open for them.
Most of my boxes are skunks, but the good boxes make up for the skunks. Just keep on truckin' and you'll stumble onto that occasional great box.
I am going to go to my wife's bank and order a couple boxes today. Hopefully I have more luck!
Well went through a box of cents, dimes, and nickels yesterday and today. I got a bunch of copper cents, and about 8 wheaties. The dimes box was a skunk. In the nickel box I got two war nickels, a 1937 buffalo, and two almost uncirculated 1938 nickels.
Sorry I didn't get any pictures this time.
I agree. Nickels are super-cool. A lot of the guys in this forum stick with the halves, but I like everything--even pennies. I've even had some luck with quarter boxes--two silver quarters from about 5 or 6 boxes.
Yeah. I just edge check my dimes. I don't bother looking at each coin because I already have my dime folder filled in. There aren't any clad dimes that are hard to find. A few boxes and I had the whole folder filled in. I guess I'm not as patient as you. I like picking all the silver out of a dime box in thirty minutes or less.I have yet to do a quarter box, only because everyone else has kinda scared me away from them. I think next week I will pick one up and see what I can find.
I really like pennies as well. I have gotten 2 boxes and what I had in my coin jar, and I found about 28 wheaties. I really want to like dimes but I am not a big fan. I rim check them and I can go through a box in under an hour, kinda takes the fun out of it.
