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.

Picked up two boxes of halves over the weekend, didn't get around to searching them until last night. Both boxes had enders.

Both boxes also ended up being pretty good.

The first box had a 40%er ender and gave up two 90%ers and six 40%ers:

1964 x 2
1967 x 4
1968D
1969D



The second box had three enders and gave up four 90%ers and six 40%ers:

1918 Walker
1961D Ben
1964 x 2
1965
1967 x 4
1968D

Great boxes and a nice amount of 90%! Hope it keeps up!

Winder and Bender nice!!! HH, Maverick.

 

[TheMastermind]

Thanks, guys. Yeah, I'm hoping this keeps up as well. I've been picking up more and more boxes from the banks around my new office, and they have all been producing very nicely. Less and less of my boxes are coming from my older pick-up banks in and around my hometown.

This was my first ever Wender and Bender box, was a pretty cool sight to see!

 

[TheMastermind]

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

The other box had a Bender, and gave up two 90%ers and one 40%er:

1963D Ben
1964
1968D





The box that gave up silver also gave up a 1986 Statue of Liberty commemorative, but I tossed it back.

 

[maverick]

Was the commemorative all beat up? I save all of those that I find even if they're not silver. HH, Maverick.

 

[TheMastermind]

Not really. It looked pretty good. I have one already, from the Mint. Sealed still.

 

[TheMastermind]

Two boxes of halves last night gave up only one lone 40%er: 1966.

Had a busy weekend, but was still able to get some hunting in. Here is my weekend update:

Picked up three boxes of halves on Friday, all of which gave up some silver.

The first box gave up a lone 40%er: 1969D.

The second box was a little better, it gave up a 90%er and three 40%ers:

1961 Ben
1966
1967
1976S Bicentennial Proof





It also gave up a 1914 British Penny.



The third box was a good one too, it had a 90% ender and gave up two 90%ers and six 40%ers:

1964 x 2
1967 x 2

1969D





I picked up two more boxes of halves on Saturday morning, and they both gave up silver. Searched one Saturday evening and the other not until late Sunday.

The first box gave up four silvers, two 90%ers and two 40%ers:

1960 Ben
1964

The second box had three 40%er enders, which I didn't realize until opening the rolls, and gave up one 90%er and eleven 40%ers:

1969D x 3



Not too shabby of a weekend for finding silver!

 

[BuffaloBoy]
