Silver Everywhere today

[waseeker]

Well, it was one of those days where I found a bit of silver everywhere I looked . Usually Tuesday is my day to get coin bags from the bank so I don't ground hunt, but I had an extra hour this morning so I headed to a local park. Found a bit of clad then got that good sound from the SE and out popped a 55-S Roosevelt Dime (3rd silver with the new 11" DD coil).



So Then I head to the bank to pick up any bags of dimes and cents they have for me.
while the teller is getting the stuff from the vault I mosey over to check out the reject bin of the coin counter. In addition to the usual Canadian and foreign coins, I see the reverse of a BARBER Quarter looking up at me. So I empty the reject tray real quick and dump everything into my pocket. The Barber turned out to be an 1899. I've got my dime and cent bags loaded in the car and was almost out of the parking lot when my dementia eased up a bit and I realized that I should get the quarter bag as well, since if one got rejected maybe some more got accepted.

I get home, go through the quarter bag and sure enough there was a worn out SLQ and 2 silver Washington quarters.

Then I go through the Dime bag and pull another 9 silver dimes including a 1943D Merc.

I like days like this

thanks for looking

Great find

nice finds, in fact, those are great finds. I have to ask though, What does the bank charge for a bag of coins? Seriously. I didn't know they did such a thing, I was under the impression that the coins would be rolled and wrapped. That's a way cool way of hunting.

I have an account there so it doesn't cost anything. They have self serve coin counters for the customers and I purchase the bags when they come off of the machine.

Check out a category called COIN ROLL HUNTING here on TN for more information.
