2/7/24 hunt. (My weekly pickup)

[CRHer700]

Since this is my first post in this forum, I’ll introduce myself. I am from Florida, and I spend a lot of time CRHing. I got started on this in the summer of 2022, with this forum as well as Collectors Universe(I also post there)being great influences on what I have done, and have kept increasing in volume since then. This thread kept me going through times that I thought about quitting. I am hooked for good now and now that I have joined, will enjoy posting some of my finds. My avatar is my best V nickel that I have pulled. I have a weekly pickup every week on Wednesday, besides where I randomly stop by at other times. The title is the date that I picked the coins up. This hunt is quite suitable for my first post here, as it was one of my best ever. $300 in nickels, $250 in dimes, and $500 in halves. All Loomis wrappers. The dimes were very good, with six silvers, and the halves were also good with 4 40%ers. The halves are also my first silvers in that denomination for over 4 months. The nickels however, stood out aways from the rest. The first box: 1 buff, 1 war(average), Box 2:_27_ buffs, 2 wars, Box 3:_22_ buffs, 1 war. My previous record for buffaloes was 17 in one box. Someone must have dumped their collection of buffs in the coin machine. Dates were from 1913var.1 to 1937. I crossed off 8 date/mm varieties including 1913-D var.1, 1915, 1917-S, 1921, 1924-D, 1925-D, 1928-S, and 1935-D. Thanks for looking and happy hunting!

Thanks for the response, I’ll keep posting some finds here, although usually none of my hunts compare to that one.
