Another Incredible Week in Silver and Copper

[waseeker]

Some of ya'll may recall that last week I got an 1899 Barber Quarter in the reject bin of the coin counter at my bank. This was in addition to some other silver quarters and some dimes. Well this week the reject bin only had 60 cents Canadian, but the dime bag for this machine was available as well as 3 cent bags.

The dime bag produced pretty well with 17 total silver dimes (15 Roosies and 2 Canadian), also, 3 older foreign silver coins (dime sized) and some other foreign.

HOWEVER, it was one of the cent bags that really produced. Last week one of the cent bags from this branch produced 3 IHC, making 4 for the year for me. I was really excited. At least until this week. One of the bags produced 36 Indians

Dates:

Dimes 1952; 1952D; 1952S; 1953; 1956D (2); 1957; 1960D; 1964 (2); 1964D (5);
Canadian Dimes 1940; 1956

IHC: 1874;1880; 1882; 1883; 1886; 1887; 1890 (2); 1892; 1896; 1897 (2); 1898 (4); 1899 (3); 1900; 1902 (2); 1903 (2); 1904; 1905 (2); 1906 (5); 1907 (7);

Foreign:
1918 S Philippines 10 Centavos (Silver)
1945D Philippines 10 Centavos (Silver)
1988 Singapore 5 Cents
1946 5 Centavos Ecuador
1941/42/43 Japanese Sen
1905 Panama 5 Centesimo (Silver).

Needless to say I am thrilled with this haul and am wishing I had bought the nickel bag as well.

Thanks for looking.

You just captured the whole tribe! wow, that is incredible.

when you buy a bag like that, do you take it back, and replace the ones you took out?

Yes, I do look for wheats. So far this year I've found a little over 9,000 of them. The bag with the IHC only had 7 wheats and all of them were from the 1950's.

No, a branch of the bank close to me has a coin counter that has a bin rather than individual bags by denomination. Since I can't buy anything from this branch it is my dump bank.

 

[Narthoniel]

that makes sense then. And dude, 9000 wheats is a sick number. How many pennys have you searched to net that kind of loot?

I'm at approximately 1.2 million cents for the year. I haven't had less than 6 bags in a single week all year ( I get them from 3 different branches) and have had as many as 18 in a week when schools have penny drives. So that makes 6 bags per week at 5000 coins per bag or 30,000 cents a week for 38 weeks makes 1,140,000 cents. And as I say many weeks I get more than 6 bags.

I used to search every coin and found some nice newer errors, but for the past 18 months or so I've just focused on wheat cents. That way it doesn't take too long to search a bag.

GMan It is a 1904. Those durn fat thumbs strike again

hand sort. Even if I had a Ryedale I would have to manually go through the copper to pull the wheaties. With the volume I go through I can't afford to keep all of the copper.

Those totals beat my previous high by a bunch. Once a couple of years ago I did get 10 Indians in a single bag.
