January 10th - Did 100$ box of assorted CWR nickels & 25$ in CWR pennies (excluding 7 rolls i decided not to go through) There were a lot of crappy sticky coins in the roll, I pulled out what appeared to be long girl hair, possible eye lass hair, etc.

The main keepers in the rolls:
2 wheats (1944 & 1955 D)
Like 5-8 AU-UNC coins
1997 1 Krone (From Norway, converts to 18 cents, woohoo I'm rich!!!)
1967 nickel with a bff 4eva message on it regarding i imagine one girl one guy
1996 weird smooth error. Coin has no rim on obverse, and is really weak and has a wear effect. But it's definitely not PMD.


Here's the video if you are interested.

You should wear rubber gloves....

I have tried multiple times to wear rubber gloves but I can't get my fingers back in the rolls to put the coins in. My banks don't have coin dumping machines.

January 16th - 3rd box of 2014, pennies & nickels. Great box, double silver nickels, pre 1940 nickel, and proof nickel.
Plus, 1996 Urraca "Un Centismo de Balboa". Something I've been looking for in CRHing pennies for almost 10 years now! (I've wanted it for 8 years of that 10, lol)

Here's the video

Some decent finds. I like that IH lol. I remember finding one of those Urraca "Un Centismo de Balboa" b4 myself. And I like that '68S proof nickel...I need to find one of those to go with my '68S halves I found in my last box. And I found a really nice condition '40 Jefferson w/steps myself this week similar to the one u found earlier this month. That nice cond. '38 Jefferson is a nice find too. And I need to keep my eye out for those '82 nics too, I forget about those having a little value.

HH!

Box #4 pennies and nickels, picked up on January 23rd '14- Not a good box. No silver but I scored some nice UNC nickels including a possible 1965 from a SMS set, along with a tougher date 1950 nickel in about VF-XF condition. Also included was a pretty neat 1980 Masonic-stamped penny.

 

[CoinHuntingDrew]

Box #5, picked up January 24th. Pennies & nickels. Found some pretty good coins this box!
-1945 D silver nickel
-1945 S silver nickel
-quite a bit of wheaties and some nice pre-1960 nickels!

 

[CoinHuntingDrew]

Box #6, not sure when I got this box but it was on the week of the 26th of January. Might have been the 27th, I lost track to be honest. Just a nickel box this time around.
Great box, scored some very nice coins including:
-1926 buffalo
-1945 P (VF-XF, gold tone) war nickel
-1982 Swiss 20 Rappen, not sure of the conversion
-More nice uncs, etc.

 

[CoinHuntingDrew]

Box #7 Pennies & Nickels, picked it up either Jan. 29, 30, or 31st.
Found quite a bit of goodies in this box, but the main finds are:
2 pre 1940's wheats (both 1936)
1951 D AU+ (50, 53 or 55) wheat penny
1955 P nickel (8.4M minted)
1951 S nickel (7.7M minted, great coin!)
1942 S war nickel

 

[SilverFace]

More nice finds. I found a 2011P grease die error type nickel today similar to that 2006 nickel u found. I can barely see the mint mark on mine too. U seem to find a lot of nice condition older coins too. That '51D wheat cent is really nice. I really like red wheat cents. Good luck with your next boxes.

[CoinHuntingDrew]

Thank you. You're right, I do find for some reason a lot of nice red AU-UNC 1960's coins for some reason.
I just found a 1959 penny in box #8 that is about MS64-65

 

[CoinHuntingDrew]

-More nice UNC nickels and wheat pennies!

Drew, what's with the carpet? The one with roads/cars on it. These are well-made videos, but I imagine it'd be a heck-of-a-lot easier to make these on a desk.

 

[CoinHuntingDrew]

I'm working on getting a CRHing desk in my room that I film in hopefully sooner or later. I got a desk in my normal room, this is the spare bedroom that I use for gaming etc.
But the lighting in my normal room sucks and the table is small. Hopefully I can get the location changed. Not one of my biggest priorities at the moment, really. I've been meaning on getting a new camera.

 

[CoinHuntingDrew]

Box #10 - Don't remember when I got this one, I just know it was around the time I uploaded the video
Got some more silver in this video, not a whole ton.

 

[CoinHuntingDrew]

Box #11 - Another not so terrific box, but still got a silver nickel and some 2009's.

 

[CoinHuntingDrew]

Box #12 - Terrific box, dual silver, UNC 1959 penny & nickel (nickel had full steps
-1955 UNC nickel
-1960 D unc nickel
