2016: The Electric Coin-Roll Hunting Test

[TheMastermind]

So far in 2016 I've searched five boxes of halves, two of which were skunks. Out of the other three I managed to find one 90%er and six 40%ers:

1964
1966
1967
1968D x 2
1969D x 2

Also snagged a Roosie from a teller's tray: 1956.

Good first week.

I am confused by your title. Electric CRH test?

 

[Dozer D]

What's the ELECTRIC part of the posting, and what has it to do with CRH?

MM usually has a play on words or a pun for his annual thread, I'm not sure what this one is. Hey MM, I know I haven't been on in a while, a lot has happened this year but I am still hunting. I am going to try and post my 2015 finds tonight, it was my best year thus far! Hope everything is good with you and yours! HH, Maverick.

I think he's referring to the book, "The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test"

Yep. I'm an avid reader, the title of my yearly logs are a play on the title of whatever book I'm reading at the time.

Glad to hear you are still hunting! I hope 2016 is a quiet and easy year for you and your family, I know you've been through a lot in 2015.

2015 was my best year yet. But, I have yet to do a year-end post because my home computer crapped out and I lost all of my spreadsheets and information. Stupid me didn't back it up at all in 2015 so I'm trying to put together all of that information before I make the year-end post.

Picked up two boxes of halves and a box of dimes over the weekend, one box of halves and the box of dimes were skunks.

The other box of halves gave up a lone 40%er: 1968D.

Hey Mastermind, I saw you lost all your spreadsheet data from last year, that really sucks! I don't know how you'd feel about it, but I use Google Sheets which is basically Excel nested in Google's cloud so I can access it from any computer.

 

[TheMastermind]

Picked up $400 in MWR of dimes from a couple of banks yesterday on my lunch break, snagged four Roosies:

1946
1951
1963
1963D

 

[TheMastermind]

Picked up $200 in MWR of halves + $45 in loose halves + $30 in loose Ikes on my lunch break yesterday.

Skunked on the loose halves as well as the Ikes.

The $200 in MWR of halves gave up two 40%ers:

1967 x 2

Hey MM, I haven't asked for Ikes in for ever, I did order them for a spell and did find that 1 ASE but then stopped, you inspired my to maybe try and order a few bags this year again, ( kinda forgot all about them being caught up in my halves ) HH, Maverick.

Been picking up rolls of different denominations here and there, but not finding anything of note.

Threw two rolls of nickels into a coin machine today and picked up an overage of $2.87, which included a 1946D Washington from the reject tray. First silver quarter of 2016.

Stopped into a dump bank today to throw a roll of nickels into the coin machine, ended up with an extra $1.27 when I printed the ticket out.

Took my ticket up to the teller and spied some silver in her tray, left the bank with eight 40%ers and a silver quarter on top of the overage from the coin machine:

1966 x 2
1967 x 3
1968D x 2
1969D
