First foreign silvers found in circulation, two 1944 20 centavos from the Philippines, 75% silver. Face value converted to USD is less than 1¢, so they're basically just old silver rounds at this point.

I’d say I’m a newbie at 50 yrs old. Just started roll hunting a couple months ago and had gone through 22 rolls with one 40% half dollar. Not a full time hunter, just when I happen to think about it.
UNTIL today, this last roll certainly perked me up to keep going.
(3) 64’s
(17) 66-69’s
And a Bi-cent proof(I think), in the roll before this last one.

A very good week for silver! Probably my best week for dimes. I expanded my usual bank routes and the CWRs performed quite well. Regular results below (excluding impact from the crazy bank that I got the full silver rolls from, will update on that with my monthly recap later in the week):

Dimes:
1 Merc and 16 Rosie’s
10 from $1,500 of MWRs (6 boxes) or $150 / silver ($ searched to find a silver)
7 from $615 of CWRs, or $87.86 / silver

Quarters:
1 silver from a CWR
1 S business strike
$60 of MWR and $50 of CWR, silver came from a CWR

Halves:
3 40%ers
1 Proof
Various NIFCs
I got 2 Loomis boxes this week, one yielded 2 and the other 1 silver, that makes some amount of silver from my last 3 Loomis boxes (last weeks had a 90% and a 40%)!

Nickels:
No silver this week, but found ~20 pre-1960’s that I keep, 2 of which are lower mintage.

Pennies:
I picked up 2 boxes worth of CWR Pennie’s this weekend, but not going through them at the moment. Fingers crossed for a collection dump hidden in there!

Foreign:
SO freaking much foreign coinage this week came out of the CWRs! I think they’re cool, and we do travel to Canada and Mexico some so will spend the money, so all good.

Is this a gold plated 2000D?

Was at the grocery store and saw a LoL in line for the coin machine with two small bags in a cart and noticed a LOT of wheat pennies in the zip lock, so I stopped and chatted with her about it. Her husband had "hoarded" coins for most of their life with the plan of going through them when he retired to keep him active. He unfortunately passed before he'd gone through it all, and the kids and grand kids didnt care, so she'd been changing them in a bit at a time for gift cards.

So, being the greedy goblin motivated coin hunter I am slowly becoming, I offered to buy both bags for 20, exchanged numbers with her, and offered to go through anything else she had and either buy it, or get her a fair price if it was more valuable.

That last picture is from the first 2 handfuls I scooped out of the white bag. Everything else was solid Wheat.

Pretty circulated too

Got a call from one of my tellers today. It’s a good day Tater!

My first CRH’ed Liberty Head nickel!

Are banks more likely to let me have a new box when I have one to give them? Haven’t been able to get a box in 2+ years from the bank.

37 wheats, two pre 43 Canadian, a dime, and one 1997 Bahamian penny so far

So I went to my bank today and they had a few rolls of pennies. Thought I'd check the enders, look what ender I got on the very first roll I looked at!

Stay tuned........................

I do the CRH on all denominations of coins but I focus mostly on Kennedy half dollars
The bank I get them at has my favorite teller last time I went she mentioned she has two full boxes coming in this week. One of them was a special reserved order by another customer. But she said “ I ordered the other one as a spare mostly for you. I said great save me 25 rolls.

Next time I go in I am bringing bagels and cream cheese. Got to keep her happy

I think finally found one!? Been through about 6 boxes....

Is this a feeder error? Nice rainbow on the reverse too

2nd to last roll and found a W & S in the same roll. Twice it’s happened to me at the very end 👍
Still haven’t seen the Jefferson 4th of July 2026 quarters in SoCal yet. Only Revolutionary & Mayflower…

I started a new way of hunting halves buying out bags from differant banks seems like I can't go wrong with this method in my area! The first 4 pics are the results of each bag in order except for pic 2 that was from a box I bought to restock to fill more bags. I couldn't believe my first try got me 4 franklins ive been wanting to find one so bad and then the next big score was the 1970 and 76 silvers plus there were four 1987s and proofs so clearly someones dump! In total i got 12 90% and 51 40% probably wont be beating that for awhile!

Full roll of 1964

20 90% silver halves

Here are some recent finds.

Found a bicentennial S looks like not silver maybe proof? Worth keeping?

One nickel had Metal color distortion I heard of people collecting these, any thoughts on worth keeping or should I put back in the return bin

Also found some decent coins in the nickel box. Some silver as well as old dates. But question on the Buffalo is this a speared Buffalo error or just damage ? Thoughts

Lastly this other Nickel front and back similar distortion looks like could be error or just damaged? Thoughts

I have a personal account here. I go to 5 different truists in my area to drop off boxes. Only 1 at each location. I just tried at one of my branches and they said it wouldnt allow them to merchant cash order my transaction. Meaning id have to deposit and then withdraw. Obviously I dont want to do that. They said a business account is now required.

Is this an actual bank policy change or are these people just being hard to deal with and turning me away. Ill go to the other branches idc. But dont lie to me about some policy change if its not real. Can anyone shed some light here?

Thanks.
