NetJohn Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 Been doing lots of halves roll searches. Recent finds include 6 Walkers, 11 Franklins, 5 90% JFKs, 12 40% JFKs (only one 1965, most 67 or 68-D). My mother called me excitedly from her vacation, telling me she got a star note in change. 1995 B 0000 2835 *. First 4-digit star for me, and a new lowest serial number (previous was a B 0000 3004 D). More rolls of halves on Tuesday. Is it wierd that I'm excited about it?

ikaros Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 More rolls of halves on Tuesday. Is it wierd that I'm excited about it? Heck, no. I remember one roll in particular in '79 or '80 that had one Franklin, five 90% Kennedys, and the balance 40% Kennedys--one roll, all silver. The only thing that could be better would be to make that hit now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
likes_Ikes Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 Where is everyone getting all of these rolls of halves? Most of the banks around me look at me funny when I ask if they have any. Then they try strong arm push the Sac dollars on me! I'd consider driving to a small town with an old bank if I knew they'd have some good rolls of Kennedy halves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd consider driving to a small town with an old bank if I knew they'd have some good rolls of Kennedy halves. Actually, I get all of my halves from one of the larger bank chains. The key is to find the bank in the area that is the main distribution point for the other banks. The one branch bank near where I work serves several banks in the area. They order $1000 in halves every week or two. I was going in so often they pointed out they could order a box ($500) for me if I wanted to. Tomorrow I find out if the box finds are better than their normal delivery. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syzygy Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 It's been a real dry spell but I retired these two tired warriors from lunch change today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NetJohn Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 It's been a real dry spell but I retired these two tired warriors from lunch change today. You know, I do like the look of a well-worn Jeff. I think it's because it's a coin that has been out there serving its purpose. Of course, I have a tube or two of those well-worn Jeffs, so I've been known to decide they're done serving their purpose, too! I must have almost a dollar's worth of 1940s, but that 51-D is a nice find! More halves tomorrow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bifrost Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 I found yesterday a Us. state quarter (New Hampshire) in my pocket change. Perhaps not so exciting you may think, but this happened were I live, in Sweden. It must have been misstaken for a swedish 1 krona coin although they differ somewhat. It has some signs of circulation, so it might have passed some hands in Sweden before I got it. As it is a missing piece in my state quarter collection I have singled it out for keeping. // Joakim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Sisu Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 A first for me today: I actually passed up on keeping last year's €2 Finn commem. I have plenty already. However, I did get an Italian 2003 €0.10 and a Finland 2003 €0.50. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burks Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 2001-P UNC (maybe BU) Sac in change from a stamp machine. Decided what the hey, I'll get some $1 coins for the heck of it while I'm buying stamps. Most of the Sacs I see have a dark, dirty look to them. This looks like those found in mint sets. It went directly into my type album! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burks Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 Found a 1958 D Wheatie in change from the Dollar Tree today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikaros Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 Hah! Got one of my periodic rolls of dollars, came out with five 2001Ps, three 2000Ds, and a very sharp 80D. Heck, I was just glad to see something that wasn't 2000P or 1979! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiffibunny Posted March 19, 2006 Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 Someone dumped their change hoard recently. Patrick went to McDonalds and got back a 65 Washer, a bicent (which I quickly snatched), and a 74 Roosie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted March 19, 2006 Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 Not a thing worth mentioning. I haven't even been getting SQs in change this past week - clad Washers only. ???? So what's that all about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagleeye Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 Got two drummer boy quarters from the vending machine at work yesterday. And an entire roll of '65 quarters from the bank the other day... Guess somebody cashed in their stash... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
28Plain Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 Got a 1993 C-note a few months ago and have kept it in the back of the cash stack ever since. It's just kind of comforting to see the old style hundred from earlier days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
