Got this one tonight. Missed it by 1 number again That purple ink looks like the bills were marked. Do you have a purple face and hands now? Ben looks kind of pissed at you The purple is a ribbon that is woven above and below the paper (really a cloth) layer. When they first came out some one posted that you can split the layers and shove a paper clip between them which I did but I can't find my pic now and I only use rubber bands now since paper clips will no longer hold my fold together  I think Ben is pissed off at all of the liberal free loading entitled free loading pussies running loose in this country now but I digress. EDIT: I found my pic and post from another forum from 10/17/13 when I got my first new $100. If you back to the beginning of the thread there I did not invent the over under trick as someone beat me to it using a straw. www.coincommunity.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=160064&whichpage=3#1468110 |

I'll bet all the founding fathers would be rightly pissed at what has been done to their country  |

2 boxes of half dollars ($500 per box) on a quick run through. 0.007% were 40%ers...one chromed job... You never strike it rich your first time out HOWEVER I have had great first boxes in just about every denomination I have tried. My first box of halves I found over 20 40%ers and a 1986 Statue of Liberty commem. My first or second box of nickels I found a very fine or better (however corroded) 1883 WITH CENTS V nickel  My first box of dimes had a silver and my first box of quarters did as well. However after that it has not been easy sailing. Don't get tricked by the coin roll hunting gods it is really a pyramid scheme. Be sure to document how many boxes searched and how many silver or NIFC you find so you can get an overall feel for the climate of your area. Different seasons have different find rates. I would be curious to see if any of my marked coins made it up round your parts. I know a lot of them from 2 or 3 years ago have long since been relocated as I rarely see them pop up in a box nowadays. |

We had fun with the halves. 14 of the 40%ers kept my ten year old engaged. What mark? Done with a black sharpie?

I used to average 2 per box but this year it is 1 per box and I am closely approaching $4 million searched. I guess you did have first timers luck. Used to be random counterstamped numbers for 2 years. Then black Sharpie numbers for each month escalating for that year. Then black Sharpie letters for each month for the next year. Then orange Sharpie numbers for each month escalating for that year. Then orange Sharpie letters for each month for this year. If you know the rhyme and reason you can spot the pattern. If you got a handfull of them you would never know what was going on. You gotta claim your territory and let the competition know who runs this shit.  The NIFC and UNC that get spent in daily commerce get a special counterstamp. My record for getting the same coin back is 7 times. |

2015 results:
493 boxes, 493 40%ers, and 120 90%.
The highlight was my 3rd Barber.
The lowlight was Chase pulling their coin counters on July 1 so my 50+ boxes a month dropped to 25 boxes a month just as silver find were picking back up again.
Month Boxes 40% 90%

Current state of the pocket. My pockets clanged more with just the 3 dollars and dime and quarter than they do now with the new additions. Only 75,000 2015P reverse proof dimes were minted and I can guarantee you this is the only one currently in circulation.   |

Only 75,000 2015P reverse proof dimes were minted and I can guarantee you this is the only one currently in circulation. Cool but what does reverse proof mean...that it was circulated before it was minted? |

Current state of the pocket. My pockets clanged more with just the 3 dollars and dime and quarter than they do now with the new additions. Only 75,000 2015P reverse proof dimes were minted and I can guarantee you this is the only one currently in circulation. Cool but what does reverse proof mean...that it was circulated before it was minted? A proof coin is the presentation coins that the mint sells as examples of coinage. The planchets are specially prepared to be perfect and the dies are polished and only used for a 2 or 3 thousand strikes vs. up to 500,000 strikes for circulating coinage. The planchets are also struck twice instead of once and under a higher pressure to ensure full detail. In the old days (circa mid 1800's) only the first few coins off of the die had a cameo effect. Nowadays (starting in 1971) proof coins have 2 different textures to "artificially" create the cameo effect on coins struck. In the old days it was harder to distinguish a business strike vs. a proof strike. Proof coins usually have a taller, deeper rim as well as mirror surfaces and strong details however circulation strikes first off of a fresh die pair will often appear prooflike. Starting in 1968 proof coins (cent through dollars) were struck at the San Francisco mint but from 1968 to 1970 the San Francisco mint also struck circulation nickels and cents and from 1971 until 1974 they struck circulation cents. Starting in 1975 any cent through dollar with an S mintmark is a proof. That was until the mint decided to start SELLING circulation strike clad ATB quarters halfway through the series They also started minting proof commemorative coins at the other mints starting in the late 1990's to further confuse collectors. Denver mint proof commemorative coins are the worst struck and poorest quality control ones out there. Anywho on a cameo style proof coin the bust or image in the center of the coin as well as the legends are frosted while the fields are mirror finished. Back in 2006 the mint decided to make a reverse proof Silver Eagle for the 20th anniversary of the coins introduction. If you go back in the thread I mention the other reverse issues which int he last 2 years have been coming out of the woodwork and are pissing off collectors as it looks like a money grab by the mint. The reverse proof has the mirror and frosted surfaces opposite of the normal proof coin. I am sure if you Google it there are better explanations out there. So below are 2015-W silver proof 75K minted and 2015-P silver reverse proof 75K minted Roosevelts that were only available in the March of Dimes commemorative set. There is also a 2015-S clad proof and 2015-S silver proof Roosevelt out there with unlimited mintages.    |

It's all quite interesting The last two photos are pretty much self explanatory. I guess I've never seen the reverse proof before and certainly not in Canada. |

Here's one for you Josh, if you haven't already found one in your quarter rolls. Still in it's Mint Issue packaging.   Be a bonus if you did. This and a bus ticket will get you across town. |

Ok, see one play one. Your 1871 - 1971 is a centennial for B.C. becoming a province . This is 1858 - 1958 centennial for B.C. becoming British Colony, same year Fraser Canyon gold rush started. I guess the gold rush kick started England's interest in colonizing this backwater. . I've had this since I was a kid.   Nice Totum Pole dollar and Type 1 Ike. Is the Denver one a Type 2 as well? Type 1's are hard to find. |

Which other Denver and how do you tell 1 from 2. I'm not really a collector but have some. If you mean the other dollar, they're both the same I just flipped that for both sides. All in one plastic leaf.

My first box of dimes had a silver and my first box of quarters did as well. However after that it has not been easy sailing. Don't get tricked by the coin roll hunting gods it is really a pyramid scheme.
