    @JoeyCoins — Have you posted here earlier about the roll searching skills that you employ? How long does a roll require you to examine the coins that it contains? Do you search a roll more than once?
    Thanks—Craig.

    You guys make it sound like this is renovating a building! :D
    I go through tons of rolls, in many denominations, each and every day.
    One roll of quarters, even meticulously, only takes me approximately 1 minute.
    No big deal. Yes, it can be tedious but the tedious turns into profits and satisfactory excitement, periodically as well.
    I found many coins worth grading than either flipping them or keeping them for my CRHunt inventory.

    Agreed Joey and ditto :blush:
    Additionally...I genuinely enjoy those fresh rolls of all the same coin easily as much as I enjoy mixed rolls and my vintage rolls! It's a form of meditation...but sometimes profitable as well.

    Coins are Neato!

    Thanks, @JoeyCoins — that is what I was curious about. You’re a monster of nature! It’s a privilege to be in your wake.
    Do you have a method, e.g.: field first, letters, artifacts? If so, do you see all coins the same way?
    @Kurisu — that rapidly too, damn.

    I may have a similar method to Joey when I'm doing solid rolls of the same fresh coins...One very good light source, similar to how a grader views coins...I pick them up in small stacks and flip them over one at a time from one hand to the other checking both sides and watching for anomolies and beauties to re-check. Then I quickly end up with a smaller pile to re-scan sometimes going through a few rolls before checking the re-scan pile. I keep a good loupe handy and almost never use my scope.

    @joeykoins I’m on the hunt for the first 1976 Type 1 Ike in MS67 among others for wondercoin. See bst. I’m finding these can tone very nicely which is most of the hoopla to begin with but still a clean one in any color is going to be a challenge. Yea 👍

    These were kinda odd! I pulled these out of a roll today. I've never found or have seen anything like it before. They look like some type of souvenir coin from a gift shop. Real dollars. Almost like a plated reverse proof look. Both sides are filled with a clean epoxy. The epoxy is raised on the coin, so the coins don't touch. They look very well made. Any ideas?

    They might have been part of a display collection that got disassembled.

    Now here's a rarity! A silver ender!!!

    Grabbed some rolls from my credit union and a box of quarters from Chase.
    Nice mix of quarters in the box too rather than mostly fresh rolls :blush:
    Usually the Credit Union limits all rolls to 2 of each...the tellers who know me offered up their halves so I got to leave with 6 rolls of halves today.

    Hard not to notice the beautiful gold toning on one of the rolls of halves and thought to myself, this might actually be a silver ender!!!
    Well would you look at that :smiley:

    This week's half dollar finds - 2 boxes ($1000 face value)

    19 - 40 % silvers
    26 NIFC's (stacks)
    A 1983 no "FG"
    A token
    A 1986-S clad proof
    A 1996-clad proof with environmental damage (I will throw this one back).

    1983 No "FG"


    Token pretending to be a half dollar


    Someone please call the phone no. on this token and tell them that they owe me 50 cents.
    The 19 silvers gives me a total of 48 silvers for the year 2023 so far and actually puts me ahead of RFT (Rob Finds Treasure). He searches 5-6 times more boxes per week then I do and I do not get them every week. I have been lucky so far!
    As for NIFC's, I am only going to save 1 roll of each date and mm as after awhile you just get too many of these. Or maybe I can eBay a few date mm sets.

    Hey guys! Wasn’t there some kind of doubled die for 2022? Not sure if it’s just pareidolia but look at Liberty especially the B.

    This is what I found the other day. Do you think this is copper or just too worn?

    I’m thinking corrosion and even if it was improperly annealed it is now improperly corroded too.

    3.1 with the SNOWMAN EFFECT, in the 8, which, according to this diagram, would make this a 1982 D small date copper.

    i've had this for a while and I'm just getting around to it now. Hmm ?

    Not 100% sure, but it appears to be a large date to me.

    Did a few rolls of my 2021 D stash, so many fantastic condition dimes in these rolls!

    @Kurisu Wow, that one is noice, 67+ maybe 68. Currently new dimes have taken a backseat for me but the contest is still on :) I'm getting heavy into the Kennedys, Washingtons, and Ikes from the 60s and 70s.
