What do you want to find CRH in 2019 ?

Megalodon · Dec 24, 2018

What find would thrill you to find in a roll in 2019?

I'll start - would love to find an old commem half like the 1920/21 MA Pilgrim or the 1934 Maryland Tercentenary, but I'd be happy with a Columbian Expo.

If I found a 2016W gold Walker half, or a 2014W gold Kennedy Anniversary half, my reaction would scare the cats...

coins without tar , gum , super glue , and massive scratches would be welcome

Well it IS Christmas, shoot for the moon. Don't forget holes and pizza joint stickers...

A pre-barber silver or a commemorative, or the ultimate would be that gold 50th anniv half. HH in 2019

Anything old, would love to pull a few more from the 1800's, or maybe luck out and find something even older... Would love to try my hand at halves too, but need a raise first. 32 wheats away from completing my Lincoln collection, would be nice to pull off too. Hope to keep finding ones from new countries too, keep it interesting.

Rosco: exactly what wheats do you need (other than the 4-key coins), maybe I can help you.

A shield nickel.

In 2018 I found a Lexington/Concord Commemorative from a teller who I asked for any halves.

For 2019 I want to find over 300 silver coins! From 2000 to 2017 I found a total of 200 silver coins of all types, granted I didn't work it very hard. This year I broke the 300 and am thrilled and look for that again!

Appreciate the offer, but I want to find them in the wild. Only been doing this 9 months or so, figure I have the time. Actually just pulled 3 more wheats I needed from my last bag, so down to 29!

Oh, I also want to find more silver dimes to finish my circ collection of Roosies, have all the clad but need about half the silver's

TheMastermind · Dec 28, 2018

A dream box.

A silver Ike.

And, of course, anything gold.

Oquario79 · Dec 28, 2018

uhh... I've found several shotgun rolls with 1 or 2 silver halves... Would be nice to find a full roll.

That 1909-S VDB is out there with your name on it. If you find one in a bag you just earned legendary status on this board like Enamel and his 16-D Merc.

One or more Indian head pennies. I found one during all of 2018, hoping to top that in 2019. Along with the usual "wake the entire family" finds hehe
Or my first silver quarter or half. That would be a good day too.

How nice to get a commem that is both locally historically important and to the formation of the US. I'd love to find that Commem! Dated 1925, it commemorates 150 years since that epic running battle. I was assigned to report on the events at the 200th celebration at Concord (1975) by my college newspaper. Pres. Ford arrived by helicopter and gave a speech after a concert, but was not there long. I did not get permission for an interview and don't believe he gave any. I spent the night there in a pup tent in the rain & mud, but that was a far safer place than where you spent time in the mud.

Great commem!
