Hi all. Well I've had a pretty good week but felt like hunting today so out I went. At a local TD bank I traded $250 in dimes. My already searched rolls for some cwr they had. They looked ok, no marks on the wrappers although I was a little concerned that almost 200, out of the 250 were in the same type coin-tainer wrappers. The ones that are already formed into a cylinder with a crimp on one end. When I got them home I lined them up on my table and started magnet checking them. Every last one of them really liked my magnet. I mean REALLY liked it. Ok I've got someone's dumps. Next, I start weighing them. Most are a few grams light. Next step, open the first roll. 7 or 8 Canadian rims looking back at me. By the time I was done I had set aside about $19 in Canadian. Really pissed me off. Canadian is common in my area but this was excessive. I know others have been burned worse and it's just the cost of being a coin roll hunter, but I just had to vent. But on the plus side,I did find two Canadian that didn't like my magnet. The young queen and king George. As for the other Canadian, it's not a loss, I'll work it off slowly. Also got a box at BOA and found a couple Rosie's. Happy hunting to all.
