Here is my coin roll finds of the last few days, roughly a week of time. This is my first week of ever hunting half coin rolls. I think I had great luck, maybe beginners luck.
All in all I sifted through about $840.00 rolls and loose Halves, and an unknown amount of loose dimes, maybe around $500.00........ Here's what I found.....
76 ~ 40%ers
1 ~ 90% Franklin
2 ~ 90% Silver dimes
2 ~ S Mint Proofs
And a few odd coins I need help identifying
1) First photo is all the silver finds.... The unstacked coins at the lower half of the picture is what I found just this afternoon in a $500 box.....Makes me feel like an outlaw from the old West with all that silver.
2) Second photo is of the proofs and odd coins. Coin in the center is a great 81' S mint proof with frosted portrait.
The two upper coins are a mystery to me. Left one is a mirror like shiny 1998 D mint coin, the right one is also mirror like from 1974 with no mintmark. What are those two coins? I would think they are proofs but neither has an S mint mark. They look like chrome on the faces of the coins.
The bottom right coin is a 2006 half. Read on here to save those ones cause they were never meant to be circulated.
The bottom left one is a real mystery. It's a 1973 coin, but appears to have no copper what so ever? Is it possible that it is an all nickel error coin? Is there even such a thing as this? It isn't silver, and sounds just slightly different than a regular clad. I've read that people are finding new quarters the same way as this? Anyone know what's up with this coin??
3) Third photo is a side close up of the apparently all nickel - half dollar.
I also found (not pictured) 2 1998 wide AM Lincolns, about ten wheat cents, and another S mint mark clad half which isn't pictured because it was heavily circulated and looking fairly rough.

well that would explain it. sure would be a good trick to play on your competition. i would still weigh it. you should be able to pick up a nice pocket scale at a pawn shop
