All, moved to Louisiana this week for work (had to leave the family back in Missouri for school etc....). Will only be here for about 8 months, but on my trips here in the past the silver was flowing pretty well. Anyways, did a box of nickels before I left and scored one war nic and a 1923 Buffalo, did a bag of dimes ($500) and scored 4 silver roosies including a 1950S which is a pretty tough date. Got down here on Friday and already found a dump bank and several supply banks. People working in the banks are friendly down here just like Missouri, so that's nice -- one head teller told me she would order whatever I wanted, and she had two boxes of halves in the vault right now
I got $250 just for a quick test and found a 1964 and a 1974D Doubled Die. Meanwhile my daughter back in MO will continue to hunt nickels while I'm gone to build her collection. She's really getting into CRH in a big way. Too bad she's only 14 and has to get Mom or her big sister to drive her to the bank....
Well, once I get my scanner set up down here I'll post some pics of my finds. Oh, almost forgot. There are two coin shops down here, and I picked up a 1964 Proof Kennedy for melt, and it's the accented hair variety! Pretty exciting to cherry pick a dealer like that once in a while. Also scored a 1937D Merc in XF/AU from another shop for melt.
HSH to all, some pretty big finds on here lately!
