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.

The last couple of weeks have been pretty bad for me, a ton of skunks. Those two boxes were certainly a welcomed change. Haha.

Picked up three boxes of halves this morning, but only got around to searching one so far. It gave up one 40%er: 1968D.

I also scored a 1953 Ben from the teller's tray while picking up the boxes.

EDIT: those other two boxes were skunks.

Picked up two boxes of halves yesterday evening, one of which was a skunk.

The other box had a Bender:



It was the only silver in the box.

I hate it when that happens, haha. Nice Ben though!!

 

[BuffaloBoy]

Sorry to hear that it was a lone silver. Benders are still awesome, glad you did not get skunked. Hope the next batch is better!

Picked up two boxes of halves + a box of dimes yesterday, skunked on both of the boxes of halves.

The box of dimes was pretty good though, my best so far this year. It gave up five keepers:

1943 Merc
1957 Roosie
1963D
1964 x 2

Weekend update:

Friday evening I picked up a box of halves + $250 in MWR of halves + a box of dimes.

The box of dimes gave up two Roosies:

1956
1961D

The MWR of halves gave up a 40%er: 1968D.

The box of halves gave up a 90%er: 1964.

I also happened to find a Millard Fillmore presidential dollar in a roll, which was a first for me. The roll contained all twenty half dollars plus the dollar coin. Strange.









Also, picked up two boxes of halves Saturday morning. Managed to pull three 40%ers between the two boxes:

1966 x 2
1968D

Riiight. That's why you attacked me and my finds in your thread, then came in here and posted what you did.

I agreed with you, that CRH videos aren't good for the hobby. I only disliked your lack of couth and your attacks on other members. I originally only called your needless act of superiority pathetic.
