I only searched half of the Brinks Box so far.Opened another Dump bank with a counter and took a small handful of rejects no silver today but I have some sweet mirror finished "S's". I have a box of halves coming tomorrow should be a brinks box. Now to see how many holes I'll fill in Whitman 9009 folder.

The 1938 is a really nice find. I've searched dozens of nickel boxes and have yet to find a 1938.

 

[Rick624]

Thanks and I had a hole in my second folder just right or it. Need the 38 D,S, and 39 d,s too. finished the Brinks nickels this morning got another 39, 47s (had a hole for that one too) about 12 more 48 thru 61 and 2 more 1970s. Hope to get their bigger Brothers today in my box of halves. Your 38 is dozens closer now. My best finds come from customer rolls, so when I pick up a box usually take some customer rolls along with it.

Now if only the Weather would cooperate another 12-18 inches of snow this weekend. Happy Hunting everyone!

[Rick624]

No Boxes at the bank today, so I picked up some CR Rolls 60.00 halfs, 70.00 dimes, 36.00 nickels, 36.50 pennies. No Silvers, one roll of dimes short a dollar, 7 keeper nickels, 6 Wheats. Nothing really nice enough for a picture. Well there is always tomorrow.

Who rolls their dumps ? There is 3 banks with coin counters near me. I also was told my main bank will not be getting me any boxes of halves anymore. Time to open up a BOA account I guess.


Happy Hunting All!

 

[Graciegirl]

Cool thread. I like nickels too. I haven't had much luck with them recently. Halves have been good do me recently. Keep searching.

 

[Rick624]

Thanks Gracie ! I had been doing well with nickels till yesterday, and now today Skunked on silver, did pull a sweet 2005 S today. 2 boxes of pennies were thin too. I post pics and tally up tomorrow.

Happy Hunting All

If any of my banks ever refuses to order boxes for me, they will immediately lose my business. So far, none of them has.
