Im asking for your best photographs

I'm asking for your best photographs

Hello to all. I know this has been done before. I'm sorry. But I haven't asked before. I am asking for your favorite 2 or 3 photos of your most memorial (productive) coin hunts. I hope to get many photos of enders, too. I am keeping a list (and photos) of my own special finds and would appreciate help gathering photos for many of you who have made truly beautiful finds. If you can help me, please include a sentence or two of your recollection of your favorite find.

Re: I'm asking for your best photographs

I don't have any pictures, but you said you have some, you should post yours as well!

The only ender I have ever gotten was a 1964p kennedy half dollar on my first box! that box also produced 6x 40%ers...

Re: I'm asking for your best photographs

In three years, my boxes have been quite sad. Best had 27 keepers.
Hand-rolled have been fabulous! Here are a few from the last year.

I'm happy to say, my wife is a teller and she snagged an entire roll of steelies. She also blocked almost 5 solid rolls of 40%. I must give credit where's it's due, to my wonderful wife for supporting my hobby.
Thanks to her I also scored a key date '38D Walker for $5, and countless silver dimes.
I actually do roll hunt, and my best scores have been solid rolls of silver halves.

16 90%ers and 22 40%ers best find ever and it'll probably stay that way :dontknow:

not too many silver halves in my area.

...Solid Rolls Of Silver Halves... this is what dreams are made of!

Thanks, FFD for your favorite photos. I want my own collection of photos just as a collection of actual coins. It does not matter they are not m own finds - only that they were CRH finds. Thanks so much, now I'm waiting on "help" from other folks, too. Some of you are no doubt the best in the world at this hobby, and should be in the next Olympics! Thanks again for helping me.

Here was a good day back in '07

Half-Hound · Mar 17, 2011

Gentlemen, Thanks: CYBERDAN, CDICKRUN & TXTIM I appreciate your help

Thanks to everyone who is helping me. I wouldn't ask if it wasn't important to me.
Cyberdan: thanks for providing photos other than halves - I have very few
Cdickrun64: my first CRH coin was a Washington quarter - have never found another one! I also like your 1955 BF.
TXTim: Liked how you used the mirror in photo of '07. I want to try using a mirror, too. Did you plan that, or was the reflection a accident? I love that photo, too.
Thanks so much everyone, you too fistfulladirt.

Happy Half-Hound

Reverend B IKE sorry I missed you

Thank you so much also - I scrolled down so fast to see the photos, I missed seeing your name. I was excited. Thank you also, friend.

Re: I'm asking for your best photographs

My best was on a road trip in July 09. Picked these up at one of the banks:

A total of 762 40%ers. 29 of the rolls were what I think are Original Bank Rolls from 1968 and 1969. I asked on another coin collecting site and people who know more than I do said the roll paper was correct for the years. I still have 17 of the rolls unopened.

More recently was my 3 box Walking Liberty score:

Wow Fropa, great photos! I tip my hat, and to everyone else, nice pics!

Re: I'm asking for your best photographs

these are all back from the good old days! after rereading these it reminds me of how much searching coins now sucks! i can't believe how much I used to find. In one of the posts I found 22 oz and equated that to $250...back when silver was $11 an oz. Funny thing is I never thought I'd be more excited at a higher price!!! Enjoy!!!

Re: I'm asking for your best photographs

TXTim: now I see - I thought there was a mirror making it look like twice as many coins as there really were. That is done in real estate to make the rooms look larger. Thanks for setting me straight, Tim.

Fropa: and you, too, friend. Thanks for taking time to upload photos. I especially like the enders. I've only had several 40% enders. I think if I ever get a walker or ben ender I will save it and not open it. Thank you, again.

And Phrostie: I haven't visited the links you provided yet, but I will. Thank you, too.

Incidentally, I have a PM but I don't know how to access (read) it. Any advise?
