Weekend rolls

[jamesandsons]

Appetizer: $100 dimes

First Course: $30 cents

Main Course: $340 nickels

We'll see how far I get with these. I've got a lot of other stuff to do this weekend too. Thought I'd log the project for your enjoyment though.

Boy, that is a great photo. I can stare at rolled up money like that all day.

 

[jamesandsons]

Dimes were a bust. 2/3 were solid rolls of 2012. Oh well, wasn't enough rolls to really have a great chance of a silver anyway. On to the fun stuff now.

U look like a much more organized CRHer than me lol. Good luck with the rest of the rolls (the fun stuff lol).

I'm usually not organized at all. Next time I'll take a picture of the slush-covered wrappers littering the passenger floor area of my car to give you a taste of how I usually operate!

I think I need to come to your place for a meal. What time is dinner?

 

[jamesandsons]

Didn't see any wheats as I was dumping the rolls out; usually I spot at least one or two. Hopefully they're in there somewhere.

Man, you open each roll and dump them out all together like that? That would give me a headache.

Good luck though!

HH!

Yeah Im a one roll at a time searcher myself too. Well at least u know they aren't all new rolls like most of the dimes were. GL with your first course search!

Only when my wife is gone for the weekend.

Sometimes I like to create a huge pile and watch it slowly shrink away. The largest we ever did was $80 in cents last fall. If I do the nickels this way though it will be a much larger pile. I might do those $100 at a time. Depends how long it takes to get these cents done. I haven't even started yet - been putting up window coverings all afternoon. I'm going to make some dinner now and then see if I can't get at it.

good luck!

Well... the cents weren't very good.

Out of 60 rolls I got 11 wheats.


Ten were common later dates. The highlight was a red 1958.


I also got a gorgeous red 1959-D. These could've been from the same album dump.


The other wheat was a 1919-S that looks almost haunted.


I also got a handful of S mints, a handful of Canadian (but nothing older than the 60's). This was a pretty lame pile.

I did haul over 5 pounds of copper though (26.5%). Which is decent, around my average I'd say.


I sure hope those nickels can redeem the time I spent on the cents.

To be continued...

I love red wheat cents. GL with your main course lol. Hopefully u saved the best for last.

 

[jamesandsons]

Snagged one war nickel (42-P) out of the first $40. Time to call it a night. I'll pick this up tomorrow.

 

[SilverFace]

Nice find. I've got about $50 in nickels to search tomorrow so I'm hoping I can find at least one silver in those myself.

 

[danya]

Wheats are pretty good, IMO.

 

[WheatWaffle]

That 1958 is beautiful. Only found one in that good of shape myself, and I've found around 430 total.

HH!

I used to do that, but now I search roll-by-roll.

 

[jamesandsons]

Finally finished the nickels. From 3.4 boxes:

-3 war nickels
-3 buffalo (2 dateless & one nearly dateless 1928)
-4 2009 (3 D & 1 P)
-1983 20 Pence
-5 Euro cent
-5 cent Bahamas
-3 Canadian




Nothing terribly exciting, although the 20P is kinda cool. 3 buffs is a lot for $340, but I'd have preferred one decent one. 3 war nickels is about average.

Well... I guess that's another weekend in the books. Time to dump this pile and start over again!

 

[SilverFace]

Pretty good with the nickels. I've only found 1 no date Buffalo this year so far but I got lucky with a '45P nic today in the last of the rolls I got for the wknd, which is only my 3rd silver nic of the year but so far I haven't been searching as many nickels as I had planned. So do u at least save the pre-silver '38-'42D Jefferson's too?
