I know we all know what these look like, but I still enjoy some coin porn every now and then..

Heres the pile I just picked up for seaching tonight when the wife gets home from her job. We love doing coins and having a few beverages on a friday night when the kiddos go to bed ... :)

I'll update when we get them opened

3- $500 boxes of halves
2- $250 boxes of dimes

Ended up doing just the halves tonight, not a very good evening for silver.... Results as follows:

Box 1: 2- 2007 NIFC

Box 2: 1- 2007 NIFC and 1 40% 1967

Box 3: 1- 2007 NIFC and 1 40% 1966

Suprised that you do dimes in paper wraps.. I can only do dimes when they are in clear plastic.

A tip for dimes... Use a small rectangular plastic food container. Hold the container at a slight angle so that you can pour the dimes out of the wrapper into an long enough bottom/side edge so that they stay stacked. Edge search the exposed roll, then slide them back into the same wrapper and fold the end. I even re-use the original Strings & Son wrappers this way, just takes unrolling one end to open, then pushing the stack of dimes out from the open hole by pressing hard on one edge of the exposed ender with a fingertip. To get the coins all back in well on those tight rolls, slide them in tilted, then tamp the still-rolled end of the coin roll hard and straight down on a table, then fold the end you unrolled. Once you get used to the rythm of doing this you'll be suprised at how fast you can edge-search paper dime rolls. I find this easier for me than trying to see the coin edges clearly through the not-so-clear plastic on some plastic rolls.

BTW, I re-use the plastic rolls on the Brinks penny and nickel boxes too. I work the coins out from one end, then work them back in for the dump rolls. Practice builds speed.
 

weve gotten really fast at opening the paper rolls. None of our banks carry coins in the plastic rolls.
