10 boxes of halves... and one box of pennies

[Brett]

Ok, here comes 10 boxes of halves and 1 box of pennies!





Some stats:
1 box of halves had 27 40%'ers (4 of the rolls had 4 silvers in each roll.. mostly in the first half of the box, yeah I was freaking out)
1 box of halves had 17 40%'ers
2 boxes of halves were skunks
(60) total 40% halves
(2) 90% halves (one being the Frankie)
-------------------------------

1 Box of Pennies yielded 10 wheaties with the oldest being a 1920-p, newest was 1957-d, also had 8 canadian cents in there.



Now the bad news...

My primary bank, but a satellite branch, has said they wanna start charging me $5 per box! They said that's THEIR cost and they were just being nice... I was thinking "bull--deleted--, you are a bank... you want and get your money... and you can take that $5 fee and stuff it", but I just said, "I'll think about it".

Hopefully my main branch doesn't do this, which is the same one that ordered me the 8 boxes without blinking.

I think I might start tapering off anyway because once I can start digging, that's about all I'm going to have time for.

Nice silver haul! wish i could get the darn banks to order me some boxes. I'm still pretty new to this but was curious as to why you are keeping the 2001's?

2001-p were made to be uncirculated... and the 2001-d are just nicer and shinier than most other halves... and are good for tips and stuff. People that I give these two really do hang on to them and think they are treasure.

Hate to break it to you, but the 2001 P/D was the last year for coins intended for circulation. Philly had a mintage of 21 mil and Denver had 19 mil. 2002 and later were NIFC. Now, keeping them for use as tips is still cool. In my last 8 boxes I hit a vein of 95's that were brand spanking new. Kept them all and will use them for the waitresses.

He's right about the 2001's they are NOT NIFC.

nice finds

Thanks everyone. I guess the Red book can be wrong about some stuff, it shows a high number minted, but also has a note that says NIFC.
