  1. 20 March - financial institutional facility $40 CWR 50c - zilch, zip, nada 20 March a particular member owned credit union facility: $210 CWR 10c 1 Canada YH 10c 1962 - .800 silver $80 CWR 5c 1 40-S 11 40s 1 Canada 65-81 $10 CWR 1c - chaffed that the teller sold them to someone else, was supposed to hold for me. 2 57-D 1 70-S 1 dirty dime. Except for the Canadian silver sort of a waste of my time.
  2. Two more Canadian 10c coins and 33c in American change.
  3. I am sure the North Koreans are working on it as we speak. They had one heck of a time when they came out with the new $100 - and the BEP had the crinkle problem and didn't release the notes - as of yet the Series 2009 notes have still not been released to circulation - only the Series 2009-A. So the North Koreans printed up the new Series 2009 like nobody's business and are sitting on a mountain of currency they cannot circulate. Wanna know why they are getting restive and firing off missiles and sending Dennis Rodman back instead of keeping him hostage - it is because they worked hard on those $100 bills and they cannot spend them. Perhaps they will have an easier time with the pound coins.
  4. They were only circulated between banks in 1934. There are copies of them that were printed in SE Asia in the late 1990s that have been making the rounds for years. None of them are legal to own.
  5. Okay the results from searching $125 in CWR cents - 12,500 coins: 1 1916-D 2 1944-S, 1946-S 1 1946 with a lamination error on the reverse 22 Wheats from the 40s and 50s 13 68-74 S mints 2 BU cents 1960-D and 1964 4 Canada GVI 46(x2) 50(x2) 41 Canada YH 8 Canada '67 1 Dime The funny part about the Canadian cents was they were largely concentrated in two rolls - which were solidly Canadian from GVI - on up through the 2012 QEII. I have searched rolls like that before, where you search a whole bunch of rolls and then find what you are looking for concentrated in one roll - as though whoever deposited them saved them separetly and stashed them in one roll - a few times I have found solid rolls of Wheat back cents that were all in one roll - but none in the rest of the rolls.
  6. Not a recent phenomenon, but back when pay telephones took dimes people used to shave down cents to dime size to use in pay phones. I have found a few of these "modified" cents during roll searches over the years. Most of the ones I have found were dated in the 1950s and early 1960s.
  7. $50 CWR halves - zilch, zip nada. $150 CWR Dimes 1 1964-D Silver $70 CWR Nickels 1 1952-S 6 40s 1 Canada GVI 1949 3 Canada 65-81 $125.00 in CWR Cents This one is going to take at least a few more hours.
  8. I have to sit out most of this thread, until much later on. Mine start getting a lot more common in the early 20th century on back to the early 18th century. Her Majesty, my 9 year old daughter, owns something far far older than I do though.
  9. Credit unions are pretty popular, they are even opening new branches while some regional banks are closing branches. The great thing is you can often open accounts with as little as $5 - which is why I have accounts in about half a dozen credit unions. But even the ones that I am not a member of save stuff for me because I bring them goodies.
  10. Banks are getting stinky about selling rolls and boxes - you have to have a friend on the inside, or a young lady you have bought off with boxes of candy like I do. Credit Unions are my best friends though. They are just pleased as punch to sell me all their inbound coin from deposits because then they don't have to break open the rolls to send to Brinks and with all the associated costs of sending the coin to the big city.
  11. Or have a friend in a bank that will save the finds for you. One of my banks had a coin machine that they used to count change from a local bus company and I got their goodies on a weekly basis. Until then the bus company went to another bank
  12. One of my credit unions a bit out of town called me last night - had $120 in halves come in and they wanted to know if I wanted them. So I drove out and got them today. $120 CWR 50c 2 40% halves - 1965 and 1967 $40 CWR 5c 2 40s S mints 6 40s dated coins 1 1943-P Silver 1 Canada YH 12 sided 2 Canada 65-81 $30 CWR 1c 2 1940 dated coins 4 40s and 50s dated wheats 1 1959 c/s with Masonic symbol - first counterstamped cent I have found in several months 4 S mints 1968-74 6 Canada YH For not doing a lot of searching this week had some pretty decent finds - especially all the silver and the 1888 Liberty nickel.
  13. At the coin machine at my credit union yesterday a 1968 Washer and a 1972 Canadian mooser.
  14. Very nice. Don't you just love the variety that is possible with those? I like the provincial issues, particularly the Kiangsi - Jiangxi issues.
  15. This afternoon after all my appointments were done I decided to go to the only large commercial bank I visit to give them their candy reward for my find of the 1905 IHC a couple of weeks ago. So slithered in through the back entrance and asked for the vault teller. It was kind of funny, she said she had nothing new for me - she says this often. So I lift up the box of candy and place it on the counter and she says she does have $10 worth of customer wrapped cents and I say I will take them. I tell her why she is getting the box of candy for the branch, you know the whole found a 1905 Indian cent in the last box of cents etc and she goes back to get the $10 tray of customer wrapped cents. She was gone a bit of time, then she comes out with the tray and two other tellers following her - each with a box - one of fed wrapped cents and one of fed wrapped nickels and she says they look "not new" so saying I might want them. Kind of funny, it was like she wasn't too eager to sell them because she didn't mention them before - and then the candy somehow had some magical effect of making errant boxes appear in the vault. She is a teller I have known for a while, but she is new to this branch and being a vault teller - the previous vault teller was promoted and I had her well trained - she would order a couple of extra boxes of cents and nickels every week for me - this is a larger branch that has a lot of commercial customers and she could "pad" the orders and did. The new teller is trying to follow the "rules", but I will have her corrupted hopefully soon. $10 CWR 1 cent 1 solitary 1957 wheat 1 dime 2 Canada YH Whoopy. So the box of fed wrapped cents: 5 pre 1941 including a 1924 and 4 1940 dated coins 13 40s and 50s dated wheats 1 1969-S in bright red BU - nice sweet find. 1 Canada GVI 1943 7 Canada YH 2 Canada 1967 All and all pretty decent for a fed wrapped box, liked finding all those pre-1941s. Then I crack open the nickel box. And something isn't right. There is too much space so I line it up like the rolls are supposed to go in there, ie 10 rows of 5 rolls for a total of 50 rolls of nickels and I see a problem right away - it is short two rolls so I only got $96 worth of nickels for the $100 I spent to buy this box. Had I caught this at the bank I might have not bought it - because it was short and I am losing $4 by taking it. So there is nothing I can do, because I only discovered this after getting home. $4 down the tubes. So I started peeling open the rolls. A 1941-S was one of my first decent finds. But... Here is what else I found: 1 1888 Liberty nickel 1 1917 Buffalo nickel 1 1939-S - gosh I love finding those early Jeffersons from the City by the Bay 3 other 40s and 50s dated S mint nickels 12 40s dated coins 3 Silver nickels, 1943-P(x2) and 1944-P But the proof is the picture: The 1888 Lib is an AG-3, but still a very decent find - my oldest nickel ever, beating out the 1890 I found over a year ago and the first one I have found since last summer. Gosh I am darned glad I didn't figure out the box was short a couple of rolls at the bank and passed over buying it
  16. Posted in wrong thread : 12 March 2014 institution 1: $44 CWR 5c 1 1939 1 BU 1940 - not a bad find for 74 years old! 4 40s $10 CWR 1c 1 1944 wheat 2 Canada YH 12 March 2014 Institution 2 $150 CWR 10c - zilch zip nada $40 CWR 5 c 3 40s 1 Canada YH, 12 sided 1 Canada YH round 1 Canada 65-81 $30 CWR 1c 9 40s and 50s wheats including a 1943 steel cent 8 68-74 S 3 Canada GVI, 1945, 6 and 1951 4 Canada YH 1 Canada 1967 5 Dimes - always nice 2 Nickels - literally crammed into the cent rolls. Kind of funny the teller would have taken rolls with bulges from the nickels on them. Then after cashing out at my credit union the teller told me to wait a minute while she went back to the vault and brought out a large plastic storage bag stuffed with 130 Ikes including a 1976-S proof. Might do one more bank today then take a break from roll searching. Too much other stuff I have to do.
  17. Probably Capt Awacs spent it - I wonder if some of the UAE, Kuwait etc coins come my way via servicemen returning. I know I have accidentally spent Ukrainian and probably Russian coins in the USA.

  19. Near and dear and one I have used quite a bit in actual circulation: The funny thing about this note is that it is actually larger than the previous 200 Hryven note that was a different design and that we used starting in 2001. Back when this note was first circulated in late 2007 and 2008 they were worth almost $40 - but now with economic problems and most recently Russian incursion only worth about $10 face value. These used to be grocery shopping note - now need a couple of them if not more.
  20. The French 50 ctms is a nice find - silver is so nice to find.
  21. It is not a slot token, these were created as 1 ounce silver rounds and sold by these "tribes". I cannot comment on the Shawnee tribe, don't know a lot about it. But the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma sued the maker of some of these "coins" that had "Cherokee Nation" on them and forced them to stop making and distributing them because they are not a legal entity of the Cherokee Nation. I myself have a collection of the Cherokee Nation coins, the ones from 1979, 1989 and 2006.
  22. Mine go back to a network of three different credit unions that have free coin counting machines - if you deposit them. So it gets deposited, then a day later I withdrawal and do all over again.,
