Roly Poly

I went to the bank today and got some more coins. So far I have found 2 kennedy halves with errors and 3 silver roosevelts and a canadian dime. I have pennies left to look through and I will post pictures of my finds later. Gosh I hate the cold! I am also going to make a spread sheet for roll searching if anyone is interested in taking a look at it when I'm done. It will create percentages, # of coins you have to search through to find one piece of silver, etc. Any more ideas for what I should add to the spreadsheet?

Here are my final finds after searching through $400 in dimes, $180 in halves, and $20 in pennies:

Wheaties:

1925
1951
1953

Roosevelts:
1959
1961D
1964D

Canadian:
1984 Dime
1979 Penny
1983 Penny

Errors:
1963D Penny - Doubling of 3
1979D Half - no FG on back
1982P Half - No FG on back
1983P Half - No FG on back

I also got a 1988D in AU.

Not a bad day I don't think. I also created a spreadsheet for my roll searching finds that shows the % of silver, foreign, errors, etc. for each kind of coin and keeps a running tally of the totals if anyone is interested.

Here is a picture:

Nice work boss!

Out of $250 halves i got no errors, just a 67 40% half. The dimes await!

No silver dimes today. Just $150 of regular old rosies!

Tomorrow is another day!

Total take for the day was 1 40% half - and it was fun too!

Congrats on the silver half though!

Here is a link to the spreadsheet I created today for coin roll hunting in case anyone is interested in using it:

Nice spreadsheet!

Motivates me to get more dimes!

Yeah, just keep on getting more dimes from the bank in the clear rolls and just return them to another bank and do this on a daily basis if you have the time

 

[Hothgar]

Yeah, i got my first clear roll today. one out of the 30 was clear. Was easy though =).

Did the bank of america $50 bonus for signing up for a checking account - hopefully that will go through tomorrow and i can get coins from them (since they are walking distance from here). They wont sell me coins unless i have an account.
