Buffalo stampede

[mercury1]

Hi all, things have been slow for me recently with lots of skunks and 2012 p dimes and nickels. Started my bank rounds today with 3 boxes of 2012 dimes and one of nickels, left over from last week. I was looking to swap them out for something better. Traded 2 unopened dime boxes for 2 mixed date boxes and got cwr for the other dime and nickel box. Also picked up 5 new boxes of dimes and 2 of nickels. The results:
Box 1 thru 4: all 2012
Box 5 1961 Rosie
1964 Rosie
Box 6 : 1 no date buff
1907 panama 2 1/2 something.
Box 7: 4 no date buffs
1944 p war nick.
Box 8 and 9, mixed date dimes that I traded for the 2012's: skunk.
50 cwr of dimes: 1964 Rosie.
50 cwr of nickels: 2 .999 Canadian.
1 solid roll of buffs!
This is my 3rd solid roll I've found. Also got a 1969 half from a cwr. Thanks for looking and HH.

They were about half with dates. Most were 1936 and 1937 and then mostly individual dates going back into the 20's.

Not bad Wish I could get a few more buffs. Right place right time I guess!
Lucky you

Ya, element of luck at play here, helped out by volume. Now I'm left with more 2012 dimes to try and swap out for cwr tomorrow. I've never done that well with cwr dimes. Would really love a solid roll of dimes. Girls at one bank told me a business customer got a bunch of solid dime rolls and cashed them in for about $2000. In my dreams.

Wow that's really rough about the dimes though, especially since you got skunked on some of the mixed date ones you traded in for, and also got more solids. The solid roll of buffs definitely makes up for all that though, its rough when you only get the short end of the stick and not the thing that makes you keep hunting another day.

Honestly, It's been a month since I've gotten a half box with more than 1 silver in it, and bank tellers across the board are getting ornery at me for bringing them two boxes of halves every week, or in some cases every other. It's like, Geez I'm sorry to bother you! two boxes every other week and I'm getting sour looks? Like I give a rats a*#, every man for himself! more halves please!

I got my first box of halves ever comming in next week, hope my boxes aren't like yours! And I hope I can dump them easily Going to go to dump bank and just "deposit" them instead of trade for $$$ say my grandpa or grandpa gave me their old coins. or some bogus lie.
Good luck

The Panamanian coin is 2 1/2 centesimos. It's value is: $6 in VF, $20 in XF.

The red buffalo nickel can be put in vinegar to remove the red stuff.

Thanks for the info sag. I'm surprised the panama coin is worth that much. That red buffalo nick is orange on the other side. Probably soak it at some point.
