Very nice scores as usual, CJ! Always good to see Buffs, Mercs, and Walkers. Do you use Nic-A-Date on the dateless Buffs? I've had pretty good success with being able to pull the date with limited use of that product.
It's one thing to find solid rolls...it's another to find coins in that condition. Sweet! Strange with the brinks wrapper. What do you think was going on there?
Great find, Ranger Chuck! I wouldn't say "strangely elusive" when talking about the '38S. The three Jeff nickels in discussion are the Top 3 most difficult to find in terms of mint numbers, so it's no surprise that your search has landed you here. Good luck on filling your final two holes...
Great finds as always, D&T! Looks like you got a bit of everything in 2021. Were you able to get any hunts in with your son last year? I'm sure he's busy with college and all.
This comment highlights one of the major problems with the new site format: it's bringing non-CRHers into this forum to trash a guy that just pulled a 96 yr old coin from a roll he got from his local bank.
THE MINT STRIKES BACK...
When we last left off, Sleepy had been hit by a fierce one-two punch that included a global pandemic followed by a permanent change-of-station. No longer is the local banking system rich with high volume opportunities. Gone are the days when $5310 in dime volume for a...
Immy! Congrats on #500! Nice merc you snagged as well. Excited to see you mixing in some quarters these days. May your next hunt include a pre-65. :icon_thumright:
I too think it's a grease error. I have found many like this from the mid-to-late 2010's. They are cool for the collection, but probably not worth anything. Guess quality control doesn't care as much as they used to.
Hopefully starting a small operation in December. A lot of transition...moved in April, lived out of suitcases till we closed on a house at the end of June, had our second child last month, just about done with the initial house projects. Main hold up is work. My last assignment was a school...
Wow! What a haul my friend! I have to say, I've enjoyed reading your posts over the past year or two. Happy that these rolls went to a CRHer like yourself.
Keep stacking...:coins::coins::coins:
A few years ago, I lived in a town where my dump bank vault manager wanted to roll as much coin in house as possible to cut down on ordering coin. He literally told me "bring as many dimes as you want". :occasion14: Great set up there! Last year, I lived in a place where I had one dump bank...
We just moved into our new house a few weeks ago. Looks like the grocery store down the street is showing some early signs of promise. Found this goodie along with $0.15 and C$0.10.
