Nice! Where are you located?
Just south of San Jose CA. I pick up 19 rolls at the BofA yesterday and early on there were more P's then I usually see and I was starting to see more Jefferson's and on roll 9 of the first 10 I flipped the Liberty Bell over and there it was... I still have 9 rolls unsearched, so...
I gave blood yesterday, so maybe it's good Karma...

Okay, thanks for that. Good luck with all your searching!
Congrats nice find!!
So far @joeykoins is the only one of us, to my knowledge,who has found one in the wild. And Ibelieve he found 2 of them. Definitely one I'd love to find!
What did Joey find in the wild?
Long Rays
Really? Did he post pictures here somewhere?
I'm just about positive it was @joeykoins
I searched but can't find the post(s).
I'm guessing joey will show up soon enough and let us know...if my memory was correct

I've been away from the forum for a while, but I just had such an amazing find that I felt the need to share it here. I picked up my usual box of halves last Friday, but I then had a three day chess tournament(yes, I know), and didn't get to it until the next Wednesday. Lo and behold it contained this:
The British penny is my first foreign coin other than a Panama half to come from a half dollar roll. And a Ban is very nice after a long drought of silver. However, things got even better: I picked up my other weekly shipment ($250 dimes, $500 halves) from my other bank on Thursday, and it turned out to be my greatest half dollar box find ever. 15 40%ers, 2 1964s, and a 1954 ben. Easily the most silver coins that I've ever pulled from a sealed box(I got 18 40%ers in a customer roll way back in '23, but that doesn't count), passing a box that had 9 90%ers and 2 40%ers(unfortunately this one had more silver weight), probably also from 2023. Interestingly both boxes had lots of 2026-Ds, which are actually the first boxes with lots of '26s in them that I've gotten. Here's the pics:
Don't forget about me guys, I still do $250 in dimes and $1000 in halves weekly, it's just that I usually only get like one silver dime or a lone 40%er, so I don't post. This one was worth it though. I also have about $500 worth of cents to go through as well, mixed CWRs, loose in bags, and sealed rolls.
Anyway, enjoy!

I found a 2005 proof MN quarter,a 2019W (TX) Quarter and 5 1776-2026 Quarters. The half dollar nox had 50 OBW of 2124-D NIFC JFK'S. These half dollars are really nice too. 😆🙃😆

Late last year my entire computer system crashed. I don't know what happened! I lost everything!! Files, accounts, e-mails, passwords, bookmarks,.. everything!! It's like my entire system was fried!! I have been reestablishing new accounts for months. I could not get back into my CU OAKSTAR account. I don't know why. I've tried several other passwords but nothing works.
It's not a big secret on my part. I don't really care who knows at this point. I haven't had anything new to post anyway. Was posting the same old stuff, over and over again.
Plus, the MOD's couldn't help me reestablish my OAKSTAR account anyway. It is what it is.
@USSID18 Kinda sounds like what happened to me around 2 years ago. I was not able to anything and within 45 mins I had my privileges back again. I was lucky and did not lose everything. I had members posting questions on my status all over the place. I'm glad that you are back Tom. Jon

Here’s my best find ever in 60 + yrs. I mainly hunt cents and nickels, but I’ve graduated to quarters. I have a box coming in next week. Hoping for a constitution privy! I’ll take what the good Lord gives me!

My hard drive went down in 2019 and it took months to get stuff back to normal. There are still a few things I can't find.

Up here in the Pacific Northwest I haven’t seen a single 2026 dime or quarter and just one nickel.
Man at lil store gave me a roll of The declaration of independence quarters earlier today. No privy but I was still glad to get them. I took a roll of my already searched quarters and asked him if he would trade them for me. He initially said he did not have any shiny ones, but then he ended up finding one. I generally just tell them I’m helping the grandkids learn to collect coins, which is true.
From only 5 rolls I picked up at my favorite credit union

Got 40 rolls yesterday, was complaining there there were no 2026 coins at all, than hit some silver, a nice 1958-D. Happy!!
It was @OAKSTAR if I'm not mistaken.
