[ Most likely stuck on stock meant for a foreign coin. ]
Always wondered, are foreign coins clad or just an alloy mix?
EDIT: Alot are solid like the earlier Canadian coins are 100% nickel
Some are clad- Panama for instance and Liberia. The US struck coins for both these countries in that time period.. No, not an incorrect alloy mix. It could just be thinner stock or made incorrectly. But why so many of them? I'm sure that I will find more in the same weigh range. I think that the mint just ran out of the correct stock and used what was available that was close. JMHO. However, these have little or no premium at this time. I will keep them anyways.
All the ones that I have found are 1972-P's.

Question guys. You CRH some serious quantities. Where do you return them all so that you don't get the same coins back for your next hunt?
Just hope you don't get the same ones back. But honestly, I return my coins to my branch's coin counter so most likely, it'll get delivered to some central 'hub' where it'll be rolled up again and sent to a branch that orders them. It could also be sent to a third party like Loomis where it could be sent across the country. I believe the probability of the same coins to end up back where you got them is extremely low but it could be a possibility.

I buy rolls at the bank in town (city) then turn them in to banks outside of my town (city). I always indiscriminately mark my rolls with a Sharpie marker just in case I get some back (as banks in my area do purchase rolls as needed from other banks in said area) I won't research them. IF by chance I have accumulated a bunch of Kennedy halves I like to piss off the drive-thru guy by paying for my beer with them!!!!!!!!

I use four different banks with lots of branches. I only get coins from two banks (they order them and get them from the federal reserve) and return them to different banks and different branches.. I try to return them to different branches each week and not to overload them and go to each branch like once a month. With the coin shortage going on some banks are thankful when you bring them quarters, but not so much half dollars. My one bank has a sign in the lobby "Quarters wanted" The clerk said that they cannot get any coins at all right now. Man were they happy when I brought in only $330 in quarters. If you can get your bank to order coins for you from the federal reserve, you wount get the same ones next week.
In most banks you need an account to order coins, so just start and account and put in the minimum amount needed to avoid fees. In most banks the minimum amount is like $300 or even less to avoid fees. I am looking into starting a fifth bank, you can never have too many resources-the more banks the better the chances.

Corporate Law is to demand 7 DOLLARS or else...
And there is no Santa Clause , GO HOME !
If the elderly neighbor had paid cash then Jonny wouldn’t have needed to slip and slide all the way to the bank or even need to pay corporates extortionist share. They both pass go!
Just a few customer penny rolls I've had sitting around resulted in a handful of ok wheaties...but I am seriously loving some of my more modern 100% natural toner finds. Good modern natural toning is just so rare.
This one and it's gorgeous warm perimeter toning really pleases me...I find it so soothing in hand

Nice find there Joey. It is clear to see that they are starting to wear and get scratched up. The last $400 I searched through I did not find a single keeper. I could only get 3 or 5 rolls per bank and a lot of them were customer wrapped and short a few coins. I can't wait until I can order quarters again from the federal reserve. Right now I can only get 1/2 dollar and small dollar coins.
Brutal oh yes lol. But I'm enjoying it.
Taped or glued in the past maybe?

This weeks half dollar finds ($1000 searched) One 90% a 1964 Kennedy, Three 40 % -2 1968-D's and one 1969-D. Only 2 NIFC's a 2013-D and 2018-P. And another 1972 light weight Kennedy at 10.43 grams. The NIFC's are Kinda lightly beat-up-ish and I will put them back. It does seem strange to get more silvers then NIFC's. No complaints, I will take silver over NIFC any day. Also a clad proof 1976-S.
@CoinscratchFever... Tarnish is a molecular bonding of the base metal with a contaminant. Acetone only removes organic substances that have become deposited on the surface. Tarnish becomes part of the surface. And yes, if one were to put acetone on their new car surface, it would get ugly. Cheers, RickO

Thanks for clarifying Sir. Here is an example of acetone stripping the glaze from the surface, notice the color change as well.
The photos don't really show just how dramatic the change was. Believe me it was like night and day.
It went from cherry red to faded pink. I thought the acetone would remove the spots
Pay no attention to the spots This was back when I was still sending in spotted coins.
This coin was put in a zip lock containing extra virgin olive oil. (few drops) for 2 weeks or so.
Notice the reaction. It's bleeding green. (Eagle's Fan, LOL)
I'm going to open this soon, rinse it off (no rubbing of any kind I should add} with a 5% dish soap dunk.
I was going on the thought sealed with no oxygen.
What would happen. Research a stretch ? Or not ?
At room temp..
I finally found some good home rolled and mostly copper cents. It was nice to see you some good clean piggy bank coins rather than the usual trashed out parking lot zincs
However, it was short-lived nothing better than 67 on the zincs and 65 for the coppers. Murphy winks, close but no cigar!
Not much for this weeks halves- 4 NIFC's - nothing else. Three of which are 2020-P's.
Small dollars:
2 proof presidential dollars
1 proof 1981 SBA's and a 1981-S NIFC regular issue
2 1979-near date or wide rim SBA's
Not even worth reporting these finds. I have discontinued the dollar orders. Starting next week I will only have $1000.00 in half dollars to search.
Joey on the 5:00 news:
Man enters bank wielding a skunk demands teller give quarters from back of vault. Last seen leaving bank with untold rolls of quarters.
Authorities are looking for a cackling middle aged smelly Caucasian. Possible coin collector.
Yes, the last 200, from Loomis. We're pretty bad. Maybe, these from the Fed. and 1 customer wrapped will result in a better outcome? Different bank this time. Something tells me, it WILL! We shall see tonight.

The notorious coin collector spotted again today! Seen running down Main Street jumping and laughing bag o quarters in one hand and a skunk in the other.
Warning: He’s considered armed and smelly
I haven't found anything in quarters for at least the last $470 that I got at banks. Both customer wrapped and bank wrapped. We need to obtain boxes direct from the federal reserve. However, still cannot order any. I can get half dollars at one bank and dollar coins at another- but no other denominations. The dollar coins are not to fruitful however. Once the fed decides to deliver coins in my area, I think the finds will get better. Some banks that whined earlier when I brought coins in, are now begging for coins in any denomination. One bank even has a big sign reading "WE NEED Quarters". I think that the only coins available in my area are recycles from the community around here.
Some banks wrap their own coins.
At least you can get coins Joey. Once in a while a bank will give me 3-5 rolls, but these are very very thin on collectable coins.
...but these are very very thin on collectable coins.
Yep, sorry! This explains why on Ebay, how quarter bank boxes are going for 2-3 times face. Lol. Yep, it's true. Along with other denominations in bank boxes. I would NEVER pay those prices.

I am in NE Pa. No state vaccine mandates here yet
Some good errors on 2021 quarters. I have never got a total uncirculated box of quarters in my life. Pennies once in 2007. They usually are circulated. Halves I am fortunate to get -two boxes per week but only at one branch of one bank. So far all circulated boxes.
@rec78 Thats a nice area and actually some banks here in Southeast Texas are also limiting change. I think it depends on which bank and if local or not. And actually some of the same banks can vary depending on location or personnel on any given day.
Interesting, so I looked at the price guide and didn’t see that PCGS has any errors to date for the 2021 but I suppose it takes time for them to be acknowledged and:or realized.
When you get a chance show us some of what we should be looking for in the 2021 quarters.
Some cool errors there Joey. I have searched a lot of quarters from Mar-Aug. and I did not find one of those double pump handle coins even though I was looking for them.
