Hey guys, did pretty decent on the boxes, although I mostly got my finds from the first 4 boxes. They held 3 90%ers and 14 40%. There was 4 enders between the 3 boxes that produced, a Reverse BENDER, Reverse 64 kennedy, and 2 40% enders as well.
Total for the week 4 90% and 22 40% from boxes, one of the 40% was my second 1976 Bicentennial silver half(non proof, in AU condition). Also scored a magicians coin, and some gold/proofs.
Today I was dumping some halves at my normal dump bank. Ran the machine first to see if anything was stuck inside, sure enough sounded like quite a few coins were in there(ikes usually, as they dont get counted by these machines). The one teller came over and was asking me why I had the machine apart and was digging inside of it, but I explained I have found ammunition inside of the machines and dont want to run my coins with that possibility... which I have numerous times. Anyways, I pocketed these coins pretty quick, some large dollars and I thought i heard and saw a silver half dollar. Could not wait to get to the car to check what I had!
I picked out 2 large dollars, and 2 halves, which is odd because I dump halves in these machines... but I did find a silver 67 half, a non silver half, non silver ike, and a 1886(P) MORGAN DOLLAR!!! Holy crap!! This is my first large 90% silver find. The only other large silver find was from almost a month ago, I picked up a 2006 ASE for 1$ at a dump bank.
This 1886 Morgan is now my oldest coin found, followed by my 1892 Columbian Exposition half dollar found in a box. I cant believe the condition it is in...
I also went on a 3 hour CWR hunt, hitting every single bank I could and buying any halves and large dollars(didnt find any large at all), and also buying up CWR dime/quarters...
The one bank had 110 in halves, with writing on the outsides, so I had a good feeling, and the wrappers looked like those old good ones!! had 5 rolls of BU bicentennials(non silver) 2 of which are not opened at all!!!! I dumped the rest. And also a roll had written on the side "65-69" So I opened this one last, and it held all of the silver!! Held 23 1967 kennedys!! Better than a solid roll, solid roll +3!! lol.
Are those 2 unopened Bicentennial rolls worth much? I would rather sell them for a profit than hold onto.
Total for CWR/Loose trip was 33 40%, my first canadian silver quarter(1962), my first 50% silver(1968 canadian dime), and 2 rosies. Not bad for 3 hours of driving around, and also the 2 hours to search it all.
Hope everyone had a good week! This definitely made up for last weeks 8 40% out of 20 boxes.
