I really like the old faded pink wrappers. They usually contain 80-100 percent copper. Yesterday morning I bought an old pink wrapper of HALVES and scored the following:
1966 x 1
1967 x 1
1968 x 1
1969 x 1

The bank also had another roll of halves in a newer wrapper. That was a skunk roll.

Flip side. A pink wrapper I have never seen. Opposite results. Full of cull zinc, shields, maybe 1-3 coppers. Glad there are only 10 rolls. Yick

I am curious:. How do you dispose of the non silver, which according to your last two days is $997? Do you use a dump machine or do you actually roll all that stuff back up?

The only reportable coin was a 1990 S proof.

$200 bag of nickels...anyone for a game of horseshoe? Hand grenades??.......1950 P
Also a war, and I just had to peek.

1939.....S

It also seemed to have a higher than average number of 1964. Pita...pain in the ass. As they make me for a double take.

I use a CU as my dump bank. They have multiple locations and they all have coin counters.

I have gotten a few of those over the years. A half Balboa if I remember correctly? I got a Panamanian cent the other day in change. I googled it and found some interesting information. All Panamanian denominations are the same as US and circulate on par with and together with US money. I suppose the US mint makes the coins for Panama. It was interesting to read.
