HALVES-NICKELS-PENNIES SEARCH

[Pennyworth]

I searched a LOT of coins during the last two days. I bought $300.00 in halves that a bank ordered and I found one 1964. Not great results by any means but I'll take it. Then I searched another $100.00 in halves and found nothing.

I bought 3 sealed boxes of nickels and I found some nice surprises. Again, I found 2 1944P(silver) war nickels, must be a popular year to find! One very dark,dirty Buffalo nickel, it may have been dug out of the ground. A Republic of Somalia Food Security FAO nickel, and a 1995 Erie 1P. Other nickels:

1939-4 1940-2 1941-4 1941S-1 1942-1 1946-3 1946D-1 1947-1

1947S-1 1948-3 1948D-1 1948S-1 1949-1 1952-2 1953-3 1954D-8

1955D-4 1956-1 1956D-3 1957D-5 1958-1 1958D-6

Searched $40.00 in pennies and found these wheaties:

1927-1 1941-2 1942-1 1944-1 1946-2 1949-1 1950-1 1953D-1

1955-1 1955D-1 1956-1 1956D-1 1957D-1


I also picked up a total of .90 cents from coins on the ground and Coinstar: 1 quarter, 5 dimes, 2 nickels. 5 pennies. Three of the dimes were Canadian and left on shelf/ledge of the Coinstar machine.

The spare change is always in the "reject" area of the coin counters I use. They also let me take all the foriegn I want. It sticks to the magnets on the infeed.

I was returning halves to the counting machine one day and there were two IKES stuck in the machine. I was given them. The machines don't recognise IKES.

I'll take it where ever I can get it

Great finds! Amazing that the buffalos are still floating around.

Nice finds! One 90% half out of $300 isn't bad...I was doing $500 in dimes all the time and getting 1-6 silver...One 90% half must weigh more than 6 silver dimes...I just went through $240 in halves and got 1 1964 and 2 1968....HH

Looks good Penny! I'd say you got your penny's worth.

Now that is one dirty buffalo! Too bad you can't read the date since it looks mintmarked. So in one batch you got coins from three different continents; North America, Europe and Africa. And silver to boot! A good all around haul, WTG!
