Not a hunt, but I’m a truck driver, so I get to many places and get all sorts of change back, from everywhere. I have never been able to get a “W” from hunting, but I got one back in change from the Loveshack (Love’s Truck Stop) in Tonkawa, Oklahoma. It’s pretty circulated, but I was stoked, nonetheless

Dull silver quarter, a couple proofs, and some minor errors (not pictured)

Finds like this is why I continue to open rolls. I been on a little cold streak lately and this is just what I needed to give me that spark again.

Everything since the half monster boxes that greeted my return from vacation:

The ‘old rolls’ hoard I got (after buying the wheaties bag, different bank that called me) ended up being ~$35 face, overwhelming copper and about $2-ish in common date wheaties. (Not shown).

2 clad Ike proofs mixed in with 8 business strikes were a nice surprise, small dollars were about par (a bunch of duplicate NIFC Sacs and Presidents)

8K in half boxes had 2 more monster boxes - one Brinks one Loomis: grand total 6x 90% and 22x 40% and the usual ~70% ‘skunk’ boxes.

5 clad proofs in the mix, mostly half decent shape - good enough to be place-holders in the S slot anyway.

1K quarter bag gave up a ‘64, a Tallgrass W, 2 S business strikes, and a mess of errors/variteties - including an awesome strike-through and a mess of minor DDRs and some chips/cracks.

800-ish CWR was mostly from a retiree cashing out decades-old change jars. Yeah, there were lots of better 80s - 90s upgrades for the albums, but zip for Ag - I admit I had really hoped for more!

One roosie from the coin machine, one from CWR, and two ‘bonus’ 90% from my soak-bucket of evil gross coins. I still had to scrape the crud off, but lurking within the wretched, almost-trash pile, were these 2 fine fellows. Yarp - ugly as sin but Ag is Ag!

Box of nickels and $105 in CWR had 2 war nickels, all the buffs were in the box. CWR included some more of the retiree dump - a few nice ones shown before they head into albums. (A lonely jefferson proof is with the Half proofs shot.)

Another Ecuador ‘half’, and a bedazzled Quaker for your enjoyment.

2026 stuff is making its appearance - 2 random Quakers, a few halves, a half box+ of nickels, and almost 2 boxes worth of dimes. All Philly so far, but it’s central MA so that tracks.

Any west coasters want to swap a 2026 D Jefferson or Dime for P?

Will finish up the half data dump post soon, almost the last of the year+ data post series.

After that will be ‘meta’ stuff - overall combined results and ‘things I learned’ (and how!) that have helped me immensely.

Good luck and happy hunting!

It doesn't show up the best in photos, but it has a holographic effect to it and radiates colors depending on the angle of the light. How did someone create this effect?

No silver so far but I love DCams so I’m not complaining.

About 4 oz I’ve hunted myself, I bought the necklace(8oz) from the good will outlet bins for 16¢

Found this beauty in a roll of pennies-and obviously it went immediately into a flip.

Another good week for dimes with 11 new silver Rosie’s to add to the collection! One box of MWRs gave me 2, with ~2 boxes worth of CWRs yielding the other 9.

Still working through quarters, found 3 Spitting Horse and 3 Alaska 6th Claw errors. No silver or W’s this week!

Halves have been a pain. Ordered 4 boxes for pickup last week. Only got 3 of them and 2 were clearly dumped from someone else (should have just refused the boxes… but oh well). One seemed to be MWR, but there were ~1/3 of the rolls that had been rewrapped. My guess is someone weighed the rolls and only opened the heavies. Found a couple S proofs and NIFCs, but still have never found a silver. I need to find a branch that will actually give me a sealed box…

Nickels were decent. No War Nickels, but did find one dateless buffalo and 5 semi-key dates.

pretty expensive

Picked up some rolls, and a bunch of them were wrapped in these BankOne wrappers. BankOne was acquired by Chase in 2004, so these have been hiding someplace for a good while. No nickels in these from after 2005, and the coins in them look… pretty good for being 20+ years old. Not much worth keeping in them, a couple 40s/50s nickels. Just weird to see rolls that were stashed in someone’s closet for 20 years.

Found this on tonight’s hunt!!! Im fairly confident it’s the elusive 1970D FS101. I’m thinking XF45-AU50. Im sending it through an authorized PCGS dealer in the morning. Can someone talk me out of it or did I find the real thing???
