CaptainFwiffo's July totals
The biggest story of July for me was the complete inability to obtain boxes of half dollars. I have boxes on order at multiple banks, but every time I go in, "they haven't come in yet". I also crossed the $10k total searched milestone. Dimes started the month slow and got worse, with three consecutive skunks, but ended strong with two three-fer boxes including a Merc. Nickels did the opposite, starting out strong but slowed toward the end. They were dominated by very nice errors and varieties. I also got several Ikes from several banks, so somebody must be spending them all over town.
Half dollars:
1 box ($500) plus $131.50 loose and CWR
40% x 6
NIFC x 7
2008-S proof
The box was a skunk
Dimes:
9 boxes ($2250)
Silver FDR x 9
Mercury x 2
1972-S proof
4 skunks
Nickels:
9 boxes ($900)
Silver War Nickels x 7
Buffalo x 4 (dateless x 2, 1923, 1935)
2004-P Peace Medal DDO-001 x 10 (yeah, I got 10 of this valuable variety)
Struck-through error
Major die clash x 2
105 degree rotated die error
2 skunks
