26th Roll

2009 Formative Years "Extra Thumb"

Dallife · May 15, 2022 9:45AM

Looking at all these cool finds is making me drool like my dog when he sees food 😅

WAYNEAS · May 15, 2022 3:01PM

Still searching the half dollars.
Ended up with another 1985 and 1986 clad proofs.
They will make some youngsters happy and maybe entice them to become collectors.
I also have found 2 drilled Kennedys.
Still have 22 opened rolls to view.

The "B" reverse variety is when on the reverse. The word, "States" the letters, "e&s" are separated. Most are close, almost touching. The variety is obviously separated from each other. Check Google.
They run from 1956-1964. I'll show pics later.

Jesus son - how the Heck do remember all of that information??????????? I barely remember how to tie my shoes in the morning

Roll 11/50

Looks a lot better in hand. need to work on my phone photography skills.

Kurisu · May 16, 2022 4:37PM

Got this little goody for couple bucks over the contents!

Good thing too because these are listed for only $50 at MS68 graded by our host lol.
The real question is will the "toning" be utterly unforgiving and brutal or will there be some loveliness in there?!

Take a look, I actually laughed when I saw it in hand. I hope it ends up being a fun roll!

Coinscratch · May 16, 2022 5:02PM

Those toners could be lovely. Let’s see

Coinscratch · May 16, 2022 5:06PM

My new Cent box.
From the same bank as my previous box, which had great results!

5th Roll

1995p Huge Die Crack

ricko · May 18, 2022 4:12AM

Nice die crack @joeycoins.... Don't see many of those on new cents.... Of course, I do not CRH cents, so may be more common than I think... Cheers, RickO

Kurisu · May 18, 2022 6:53AM

Hey @joeykoins you recently found those struck through paternal twins...

Well...I found fraternal twins

I just found another floating shingle, so I have an East and a West floating shingle.
I've got proper error set too now

WAYNEAS · May 19, 2022 8:32AM

After a quick search of the 2 boxes of Kennedy halves, here is what I found:
10 Proof Clads and 7, 40% Silvers.

Now I have to finish looking at the coins for errors, double dies and varieties.

Kurisu · May 19, 2022 4:39PM

I'm going to hold on to my P D S box for a bit since the price is currently ridiculous lol. Even just for the S roll.

Managed to get this P D box for $27!!!

emeraldATV · May 19, 2022 10:35PM

Their are two good ways to distinguish the Wide AM reverse from the Close AM reverse:

1) Obviously, if there is a large space between the A and M in AMERICA you are looking at a "Wide
AM". If it appears the A and M are practically touching, you are looking at a "Close AM". Be aware
that there is still a space on "Close AM'' cents. It is just a smaller space.

2) The Initials FG on the reverse are further from the memorial on the "Close AM" reverse. The
initials are a better diagnostic than the AM!

Remember that it is opposite: A "Close AM" has wide initials, and a "Wide AM" has close initials.
Don't just look at the space between the A and M. As dies deteriorate, they spread. The die may
spread far enough to create what appears to be a small space between the A and M. Always look at
both the AM and the initials.
Found this in pocket change last night. Maybe ?

You have a wide "AM" common reverse on 1992. The rare reverse for 1992 Lincolns is the close "AM".

Coinscratch · May 20, 2022 5:42AM

If I found THAT in my pocket I would immediately take a shower.

Nothing to report here, just typical boxes of the above. So I must be getting closer

joeykoins · May 20, 2022 2:31PM

Cent Box
For the weekend!

Good Sign?

Instantly!

In4apenny · May 20, 2022 10:30PM

Only bought a box of already searched halves because the teller offered to call me when any halves were turned in. This person dumps his halves at this branch almost weekly. My plan is to tell the teller not to call me when this guy does his turn ins but call when anyone else makes a deposit of halves. She is going to save them for me. Opened a few rolls and its plain to see that he is silver hunter only. The last four boxes I have searched only produced one 40%er. Cheers.

emeraldATV · May 20, 2022 10:48PM

@rec78
I think we both may be correct.
An au-topsy should enlighten the jump ball view's of the image's ?

joeykoins · May 20, 2022 10:49PM

Quick Summary

After 6 rolls.

Good results so far!

Yes, 9 wheats already.
None significant but 5 were in one roll.

Oldest

Is this still a good sign?

44 Rolls left...

rec78 · May 21, 2022 2:59AM

OK, It's been a while since I posted my finds here. So here are my finds for the last month! My one bank went bonkers and decided to double my order for half dollars. I don't know why they did this and I don't care but I am happy about it. I now search $2000 face values in half dollars every week. All of a sudden I can get any denomination from one of my other banks.

I searched $10,000 face value in half dollars and got:

90%- 5 --a 1952-P Benji and 4-1964-P Kennedy's
40% 2-- one 1968-d and a 1969-d
1972 NO FG's -2 These are real nice and are PCGS worthy!

Quarters -Searched $1500 face value and got 3-90% - a 1945-P, 1952-S and a 1964-P

Dimes $650 face value-No finds at all Dimes are no fun. 😢

Nickel Amount searched- unknown $250 face maybe: 23 with die cuds on the sides of Monticello, some with cuds on both sides of Montecello (Not shown) dating from 2011-2021 (All P mints). And a 1929-P buffalo nickel.

Cents: A few common date wheat cents and a 1937-s.

And this just came in yesterday:
A BU box of 2021-P Shield Cents!

GEE! What should I do with this??
Sell it right away for profit?
Keep it closed in box for 5 years and then sell it at market price?
Search through it and try to find one of the many error or double dies that were produced for this year? This may not yield any profit but could be alot of fun! I think you know what I will be doing with it!

Coinscratch · May 21, 2022 5:50AM

Nice little haul and I agree dimes are a pain in the are no fun. And when you do find a silver it barely moves the scale.

@rec78 said:

Well, great results! Esp. in the 1972d "NO FG's" Beautiful!
Concerning the 2021p cent box.
There is a well known Die break Cud for that year and mint. Going for decent money on the bay, too!
I would search the whole box.
Check Ebay, for what I'm talking about.
Good Luck

WAYNEAS · May 21, 2022 8:36AM

Good Luck, my friend.

Find a Key!

joeykoins · May 22, 2022 9:19PM

Cent Box

Update:

After 24 Rolls Later...

Still nothing of real significance.
However, continuing to find wheats!
Again, a multiple wheat roll. This time, 4 were in one roll.
19, thus far. No key, YET?

26 Rolls to go...

Kurisu · May 23, 2022 6:44PM

I haven't been doing a ton of pennies but I don't find wheats much in newer rolls here in Denver.
Or S's of any years very often.

So this was a satisfying moment from a Loomis roll that also had some 2022 pennies in it
Fun! I'll take it as a good omen
Nothing very special but it made me smile.

joeykoins · May 23, 2022 10:45PM

Completed box

Here's the final finds.
11 more wheats, nothing significant.

Total Wheats =30

6 stacks of 5

One more rough find.

1998 "Wide AM"

Thanks

Coinscratch · May 24, 2022 2:51PM

Newsflash! Anything goes here, doesn’t have to be just rolls K. And I don’t want to chance editing the OP in fear of the POOF!!! Plus I don’t want to hear a lot of “Get that modern crap off my lawn” busy ness 😂🤪😂
Now that we’ve cleared that up check out what I found today😊👍

I’ll show off the luster/toning later once I’ve broken into them a bit. Whomever originally collected these knew what he/she was a doing…And this very unlikely source has a crapload more as well, shhhhhhhhh.

Coinscratch · May 24, 2022 5:36PM

Okay, not a whole lot to get excited about grade wise. A few borderline but nothing really jumping out at me. A couple of FS, FB, and a possible FBL.

However, one score so far on the 63 proof set, an FS-802 which if it actually is then PCGS will attribute.

@joeykoins What is the trick to identifying Bugsy? I think I might have one but not sure.

Looks like a piranha! I don't have one, LOL

joeykoins · May 25, 2022 11:01AM

Piranha's are the most coolest fish in nature!

joeykoins · May 25, 2022 11:04AM

The "Bugs Bunny" variety is one of the most distinguished coins in the World.
What a discovery and title!
Awesome hobby, isn't it?

Just a thought?
At the time, maybe Warner Bros. should have received residuals?

"Eh, What's up Doc?"

My latest cent finds from my recent bank box.
Really strange 9+7, In the date? Also, in the "Li" in Liberty?
All other numbers and letters are normal.

1997p

Normal Date

Strange Date?

1973d

Also, a Strike Through. Obv.+ Rev.

reverse. Effect on the opposite side of the Obv. Str. Thr.

After further examination. Is it just me or is this some sort of letters/numbers?
I posted both angles. Right side up and upside down.

What do you guys think?
Thanks

Coinscratch · May 26, 2022 5:38AM

I have a Jefferson with very similar looking damage. Almost like it got caught in a gear except the reverse is fine. And that 97 is struck through just a little bit of grease :-)

Coinscratch · May 26, 2022 3:49PM

Look at the toning on some of these envelopes 😬
Let the games begin!

I'm just commenting on the "Alligator Skin" cent - just a strange looking lamination.

Forget the toning, you've got mega chances for

Varieties!

Esp. in that 1968 proof set.
Mainly, check that quarter! Lol

Good Luck, also with some Toners too.

I LOVED that "Grandmothers house smell" - It was a combination of "Baked Cherry Pie", Pot Roast with onions, carrots, and potatoes baking in a Dutch Oven, and Moth balls in the closet - DAMN, I miss those days!!!!!!!!!!

Coinscratch · May 26, 2022 8:46PM

Only had time to rummage through for toners. Close your eyes @ricko

joeykoins · May 26, 2022 9:38PM

Some real Beautes you have there, alright.

Coinscratch · May 26, 2022 9:43PM

I love the blue Washingtons, I’ve found a few lately, they tend to be from 1968 to mid 70’s.
