Dimes:

Quarters:

Nickels:

Box 1: 2 war nickels, 1943 and 1945 AND when I opened one of my nickel rolls, I noticed a penny lodged in there, nothing out of the usual. BUT, it seemed a bit shiny, so I checked it out and it just so happened to be a very nice condition 1968s proof penny! :] Don't know how uncommon those are, but it's better than nothing.

Spoils: 13 boxes = 3 keepable coins

HH,
Cody.

not all 1968-s pennies are proofs, in fact, from 1968-1974, San francisco mint(s mintmark) made circulation strike pennies just like denver and philly did. could be near mint state though. Unless it is mirror finish, it is not proof, sorry. Nice find though!

I dumped them all at one bank. The teller is a total 817CH so I just walked in with my buddy and gf, put all the boxes on the tellers station, and told her I wanted it in 100's!

And trust me, me too. I usually avereage about 1 silver a box.

Thanks for making my day a little worse but it is quite shiny/glossy for a '68 either way, it's a keeper. Thanks for the info.

I have $1 in all my bank accounts. The bank I dumped it at was a smallllll smalllllll credit union and they need all the business they can get, so she can deal with it. She is unbearably rude.

That is an awful skunk day. At least you found a couple war nicks. Some days you just gotta take the small victories. You'll get a good score, hang in there.
