Primary Interest:

Halves
Total Searched: $37,216
114 x 40%
37 x 90% (gonna start keeping track better next month but I had 10+ Franklins and 2 or 3 Walkers, the rest 64's)

Dimes
Total Searched: $15,385
36 silver dimes (again gonna keep better track of variety but it was about 5-6 mercs the balance rosies)

Quarters
Total Searched: ~$4000
1 - 2007-S Silver Idaho Quarter

Pennies
~300 lbs of copper recoverd. Hard to be precise with the bathroom scale, I ordered a shipping scale from Amazon so I can be more precise.

Random Stuff:
Loads of NIFC - At least $100 FV sitting on my table, gonna keep a roll of each year and return the rest to the wild. If you need 2007's PM me i have TONS of that year.
2 x 1986 NYC commemorative halves
15 or so proof halves (Buffaloboy i didn't forget....will try to post some pics of them this weekend....just been mega swamped with work and my supply/dump routine :-))
Lots of pirate booty dimes i.e. canadian, carribean, 5-pence, etc.
300 or so Ike dollars - gonna try and ebay them seems like you can get 15-20$ per 100FV if not just put them back in the wild.

I guess thats it, I've had a lot of fun these last couple months, especially this past month. Wish I had known about this hobby years ago :-)

HH All and may July shower you all with loads of Silver!!

Wow.. you went through a lot of coins ... you weren't kidding about doing half a million dollars worth in a month.

I got some IKES too that I gathered throughout the years. You can sell them on Ebay for 15-20% over face but remember Ebay charges 12% commission so where does that leave you? That left me to hold onto them. If only there was a way around the fees of Feebay.
 

Not in a month...over a year..and theres def people who do way more than me on this board :-)

I don't think there are many on this board that do more halves than me, but you certainly do way more dimes than me!

Seems like ~61 boxes of Dimes! Giving CNC a run for his money! :o
 

If only I had the hit rate he does on dimes....
Lots of the dimes I get here are $500 boxes but it seems when I get the $250 dime boxes they produce more.

Sorry.. I meant over a year.. I read your post.. typo on my part but still that's a lot of coins for a month..
 

Wow! congrats on June, hope july is just as good or better for you! Take your time with those pics, I really do not need to see them, just curious on the dates. I am starting to get a few proofs here and there in my area where before I never had any proof halves. Keep it up!
