You gotta get thru the bad ones to get to the good ones. Better luck next week!

Rough week SilverSlug, probably just searching through a pile of someone else's dumps. Keep digging through 'em!

Skunk boxes are just the pits. I feel for ya. Keep your chin up, though. Like I've always said to others here: it comes in waves; you're just between them at this point.

$250 box of dimes (Loomis): skunk
$100 box of nickels (Loomis): 1940's (3) including a 1942-D, 1950's (8), 2009 (6). I added to 1942-D to my date collection.
No silver, but anytime I can fill in a missing date in my coin folder, it's a successful hunt.

11-26-2014:
$500 box of halves (Brinks): skunk
$500 box of halves (Brinks): no silver; 1987-P for my Whitman folder.
No silver the first two boxes, but very nice to fill in a missing date in my Whitman halves folder.
11-27-2014:
$500 box of halves (Brinks): 1967
$500 box of halves (Brinks): no silver, 1981-S proof
The skunk streak finally ends at six. These boxes had obviously been searched--lots of marked coins. The 1967 had a super-dirty edge, so it had been missed.
11-28-2014:
$250 box of dimes (Loomis): 1958-D, 1960, 1964, 1964-D. I picked up the very first roll and placed a screwdriver on the end to uncrimp the roll, and there was an uncirculated 1964 reverse ender staring me in the face. Maybe the Loomis silver culling/counting machine theory can be put to rest now. My Loomis boxes have been so lousy for the past few months, but this box seems to debunk that theory.
$250 box of dimes (Loomis): 1940-S, 1 Canadian
$100 box of nickels (Loomis): 1 Norwegian Krone, 2 Canadians, 1 dateless Buffalo, 1939 (3), 1940's (5),
1950's (11), 2009-D (3)
11-30-2014:
$500 box of quarters (Loomis): no silver, found a 2014-D Great Sand Dunes, and a 2014-P Great Smoky Mountains for my date collection.

Never had luck at Wells Fargo. Seems like you've been raking in the silver though

Until this past week I was just about to give up on Loomis/Wells Fargo, but I had a really good week, so I think I'll stick with them.

I've had the worst luck with loomis dimes.... Moved to Garda and average a little over one per box

For some reason, most Loomis rolls in my area are new 2014-D coins. They no longer seem to be using NF String wrappers anymore. The plain wrapper boxes are the worst in my area.

Is this coin you're posting a rotated die?

 

[gaston]

No, just a placement issue on the scanner

Congrats on finishing your Kennedy Whitman folder! Will you grab another one and start over? Little bit of silver this week too which is nice.

If I thought it had any value, I might. Would something like that sell on e-bay for a decent amount? I've been saving some of the NIFC's so it wouldn't take much to complete another folder.
