$1000 bag of Halves results - March 5th, 2010

It was difficult to get the bag, and the bank manager said this would be a one time courtesy and then no more bags.

Netted only one Ben, a Susan B. Anthony, 2 1987 D's, a 2002 S, plus a handful of foreign coins.

Hard to believe not one 40% coin in the bag!

Nice finds though.

Usually a machine bag will be far better than that. Must be some CRHers in your area using it for dumps. Did you see any marked up halves in there?

Jim,

You are probably right about somebody using that machine for their dumps.

I saw a few marked halves in there.

I might be mistaken but I believe the 10 Pesos silver coin sells for around $5 dollars.

I think that 10 new pesos is worth 79 cents. I don't think any of those coins are silver. The older "un peso" coins are pretty much worthless. Here is a good site to see pictures of world coins and figure out if they are worth more than face value. Old Mexican coins (old pesos) were devalued many years ago and are pretty much worthless now. I've got a bunch of them.

Wow, thanks for letting me know that, I was unaware!

It is a 1995 10 Nuevo Pesos coin with a ( 1/6oz ) .925 silver center.

Mexico makes a modern coin with AG in it? You sure about that?
