First box of cents ever produced some wheats and a few hole fillers for the memorials. Trying to fill this album up. I cleared out a Wells Fargo of halves, $620 worth, all marked rolls of someone's dump. Was a busy week, happy with the box having 2 90%. HH all!
Oh and even got out for a few hours with the metal detector. It was fun, even found a stainless steel ring.

$170 cwr - '64, 25 x 40%ers
$24 teller tray - skunk
Dimes
$370 cwr - '64
Quarters
$120 - skunk
One bank out of 7 I stopped at last Tuesday had $100 of cwr halves. All the previous I went to said "someone just bought them all earlier today". No one else was in line so I asked all the tellers, which one gal said the same thing, she was bought out.... But her neighbor said someone else brought in $100 this morning. I bought them and asked if they brought in anything else, $120 of quarters, so I bought those too.
The halves were great, with 1 90% and 25 40%. The quarters were solid rolls.... Of bicentennials. Roll after roll. I did keep a few very nice uncirculated ones. No 40%, that would have been awesome. HH!

I picked up $90 cwr where a teller said she'd gone through them. Dirty '67 she missed. Also picked up $120 cwr halves and found the '76s 40%er. It was also a dump with all the rolls marked and 50% of the halves marked with a S over kennedy's face. Noobs

Great week with finds.... Especially the bank I found which will sell me their bags!!! This is the same bank that I found the 9 solid rolls of halves about a year 1/2 ago. The bag also turned up 2 free car washes and 4 foreign.
On a detecting side note I got a permission at an estate sale... Also picked up a silver thimble and a small silver ring for $1

The box with the gold plated Obamas was a bummer. I just kept pulling them and started to get on my nerves... Kept imagining if those were solid white rims vs gold plated. I came up with some nicknames for this box
Barak's box
Barox of Obamas
Plated presidents
What's in the baracks
I had great luck with my boxes this week! Best box of halves in a long time, haven't seen double digits in a while! I had a feeling it might be really good with 4 Enders. Pics to come later. HH!

Dimes
$95 cwr - '60, '64d
Reject tray - 2 steelies, 2 common wheats and another twonie.
Before today the week was pretty bad. I made a dump at a coin machine which rejects silver so I always ask the tellers for loose halves after I cash out. The teller had $11 and $9.50 were 40%. Saved the week!
Also I came across a metal detecting find coin roll hunting. It came from the $1000 bag. I believe it was dug, looks the part. I cleaned it a bit, looks to be a hotel room key tag possibly? Room 735. If any of you have any ideas please chime in!

Two weeks were busy and Easter just got me behind on my post. This weeks boxes were great producing the Bens, wheats and silver dime. Last week just had 3 40% and a '67 silver Canadian quarter out of a tellers tray.
If you have any opinions on the blank planchette or the grade on the 16s it would be appreciated!
