Johns CRH Log

[jcole77]

I kind of stumbled on this forum by accident. I started going through coin rolls about 2 1/2 months ago specifically looking for the hard to find 2009 dated coins and was pleasantly surprised to find lots of good older stuff is still out there. I search through around 8,000-10,000 coins per week... everything from pennies to half dollars.

So far, I've found all kinds of interesting stuff... some of the highlights to date:

Pennies: 1889 Indian, 1919-D, 1999-D Lincoln (Missing Copper Plating)
Nickels: 1902 V Nickel, 1937 Buffalo Nickel, 1938-D Jefferson, 1942-D Nickel (3), 9 Silver War Nickels, 1949-S, 1951-S, 2006-S (Proof)
Dimes: 1947-D, 1964, 1964-D (2)
Quarters: 1964, 1964-D, 2006-S (Proof)
Halves: 1964, 2003-D

Will post more complete totals later... - John

Welcome to the party. Good Luck and Happy Hunting......Love seeing them CRH finds.

Jcole: glad to see your a hunter of the 2009 coins. Beside CRH for silver, I save all my 2009 cents & dimes, with the expectations that years to come they will be "SLEEPERS" that may prove to be difficult to find in circulation.

 

[jcole77]

Sorry for the delayed reply... I save the 2009 Nickels and Quarters as well. The 09-P coins are all extremely hard to find out here. Most of the 2010-2012 Quarters are also low mintage, so I save them as well.

 

[jcole77]

Thanks... it's a lot of fun. Hopefully will update my totals in a few days... My latest find is a 2000? Kennedy Half with the Obverse struck through grease on the Obverse.

Here's a summary of my finds for cents and nickels through 6/10/16.

July has started with an absolute bang!

Halves: 1964, 1967, and I completed my 2002-2015 NIFC set finding the missing 07-P and 10-D today (600 coins)
Nickels: 1918-D!!!, 1927, 1937, 1938, 1942-D, 1942-P, 1943-S (2), 1950, 1958, 1973-S Proof, 2005-S Proof (6780 coins)

Some pics of the highlights... still in shock over the 18-D Buffalo!

 

[jcole77]

Going to update my totals through July in the next few days... Am now 5 coins away from completing my Jefferson set only needing the 38-S, 39-D, 43-D, 50-D, and 55 Philly to complete it out of CRH!

 

[jcole77]

August has been absolutely CRAZY as far as Nickels go! I found 170 pre-60s in a partial LOOMIS box (44 of 50 rolls) including a 1937 Buffalo and a 1938-D Jefferson... a sister LOOMIS box had 37 pre-60s including a 1938-S and an AU 1939-D!!! Sadly, these were the only LOOMIS boxes my bank got in this week. There were several BU 1956, 1959 and 1960 Philadelphia nickels in both, along with a scattering of Uncirculated coins from the 60s and 70s. Interestingly, most of the 1970s coins were either 1970-S or Denver minted coins. This tells me the person likely hoarded these coins over a very long period of time, and moved at some point. Also, they apparently were culling the silver as there was not a single silver coin amongst the 207 coins. A non-LOOMIS box I got yesterday had 26 pre-60s including an 1887 V and the very hard to find 1955 Philly.

FYI, I've found 1,336 Pre-60 nickels so far in just over 6 months of searching... Will be posting complete updated totals at the end of the month.

 

[jcole77]

Found my 49th and 50th War Nickels of the year today, along with my 21st Buffalo!

 

[jcole77]

It's been a while since I updated here... September was another good month... here's my tally sheet with some totals. Another 17 War Nickels, 5 Buffalos, and a 1939-S were added to the collection.

 

[jcole77]

Updated the nickel totals through the end of last month.

 

[jcole77]

And my cent totals... exactly 400 wheaties and Indians!

 

[jcole77]

Knocked off the 43-D Jefferson today... I'm now only lacking the 50-D for my CRH set!

 

[jcole77]

Some updated totals for my nickels... with rankings for Jeffersons on the right.

 

[jcole77]

A slow Silver month for me so far... only 7 War Nickels after 17 each of the past two months... this was #7... found last night.

 

[jcole77]

More herding... a nice 28-S Buffalo among 4 pre-60s in 12 rolls!
