I haven't been CRHing in quite a while but had a free hour or so so I decided to give it a whirl. Most banks had a few halves with the max being $10 worth. Nothing to show for my time as they were all junk. I was about to call it a day and head back to work when I recalled one bank about a mile away that had never produced anything but it had been a couple years since I was there. Glad I did, they gave me 11 rolls of halves and the teller said he'd had those for about a year. I had found a rare bank that hadn't been mined recently. Pulled a Franklin, a 64 Kennedy, and 7 40% halves. A quick $100 worth of silver and got my CRHing fix fulfilled for another couple weeks or so.
I haven’t posted in a while because I really haven’t found much of value. I have been searching $750 in dimes and $500 in halves every week since the beginning of June, but not much in the way of “really special” (rosies, common mercs and 40% halves don’t count)and I also had nine dime boxes in a row with no silver for some reason. However, when the Christmas season rolls around, so do the people with old coins!
I literally couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw this.
It is my fourth walker ever from CRH, and the oldest(making it my oldest half ever found). It also is the first walker ender I have ever had. Hope you enjoy!
Pretty beat up, but a walker is a walker, especially at $28.50+ apiece.

Not exactly a coin roll find, but I did get it from the bank for face value. I swung by on Tuesday before Christmas last year. Originally, I wasn't planning on going, but I figured I might as well since I was in the neighborhood. This was the only dollar coin the teller had

Very nice!
I got to talking to one of my banks tellers and found out she was a collector. Auto classified as my dump bank going forward.
Multiple Chase branches can still get me any rolls I want.
But my favorite credit union is now charging 6 cents per roll of whatever they have.
I grabbed 10 rolls from the credit union and got one 40% silver.
Stopped by Chased for a couple boxes of quarters and they had one customer roll of halves.
Looks like they were from a 2025 Mint roll because they were in far better condition than any of the 2025 Loomis rolls of halves I've gotten. Pulled about 5 very nice ones.

The 1886 Morgans are pretty common unlike silver these days so that is worthiness within itself
7 Years sitting in a box, 2019 River of No Return quarter new bank roll with a W ender. Just decided yesterday to unwrap it (for no particular reason). To my happy surprise there were 10 more W's within the roll along with the ender. I'll keep the nicest and sell the rest on here or eBay... They are very nice looking!

Surprised so many of the same "W" in single roll. Weren't they supposed to be mixed better into the general population to make them scarcer to find?
Back when the hunt was on, I found two or three in one roll at a grocery store went back and managed 10 more rolls before they cut me off and ended up with 22 of them.
Still trying to get hold of a full box of the new Emerging Liberty dimes...
Found literally about 5 individual ones so far and still have boxes coming from various banks.
In the meantime I've found more silver dimes since mid February than I've found in the last 10 years lol. Almost 30 of them now!!
Tonight pulled this beauty...
Some of the dimes...

This one used to be almost as easy as the '42-D but the '42-D was always worn out. Most of my sample was in the midwest and there should have still been some concentration of S mints in the west by 1957. I always figured 6 key dates with the '42-D. The '44-S was easy but I suppose I never noticed they were worn out. The '55-P was pretty tough because many were saved and it took years for them to migrate this far west. I was focusing on the buffalos in those days and paid less attention to the jeffersons.
This is one of the most interesting dates and third lowest mintage.
Some recent finds. 1977 and 1978 opened box sets of 5 which, I usually wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole.
But based on his other items for sale on the bay (non coin related) and the retail pricing of these I had to roll the bones.
I just found my fourth 74D DDO Kennedy and the best one yet. Needs to go 66 to match the top pop, it might make it.
Also assures me my seller isn't a coin guy.
Picked up a couple boxes from a Chase today...as I walk in, one of my favorite tellers says someone just dropped off a ziploc of about 50 Eisenhowers...

Some recent quarter finds that will eventually make their way west.
The 79 is like butter... whatever that means shot at 7+ maybe I don't know but 67 should be a shoe in.
I found these 2 war nickels,1944 P & 1945 P when I search the box of nickels today. They look grimy and greasey which is the typical look for the se nickels.

Got a box of pennies bout a week ago and got I believe 11 wheat cents and 4 Canadian! Oldest identifiable wheat was a 1929, and then there was this really slick cent I think is either a 1911 or a 1917.
Also got $60 in nickels alongside it and got some nice older Jeffersons alongside a rather slick 1935 buffalo!

Got this in a casino, yesterday!. This is the second "W" I have got in this casino.

Surprised so many of the same "W" in single roll. Weren't they supposed to be mixed better into the general population to make them scarcer to find?
Back when the hunt was on, I found two or three in one roll at a grocery store went back and managed 10 more rolls before they cut me off and ended up with 22 of them.
Needed a single roll of quarters. A new W design for me!
I'm still missing 6 designs, 3 for each year. This is my 4th W on the year and only my 6th of all time
