I was searching a box of halves and in several separate rolls there were coins with the initial's J to the left of kennedy and M to the right (anyone here?). Anyone see this sort of thing?

| I don't mark the coins I go through. But, I don't do that many. The halves that I have done for the past year or so have been marked with every color of Sharpie imaginable. Mostly checks, or just a slash. Ticks me off. But, you snooze you lose. |

| I try to mark each roll (never the coins) with a Sharpie "S" for Sorted Steel. I've gotten my own rolls back in other banks, or when I happen to buy somewhere I dumped why back and I clear out the valet. Saves a lot of sorting as I just dump them again at the next bank. |

About 60% of my last NF String box had a black dot on the Eagle's shield.
I do put a black ring on the wrapper so I don't pick up my own dumps. |

I never put marks on the coins. I let others folks do that when they get my dumps.  |

| I don't mark any coins I dump because they go back loose in one bank in a town and I get my coins in a difference town. |

I would never write on a coin. Why deface something that someone else might consider a treasure???
I do put a mark on my wrappers that I return to my bank. That way I don't get them back again from the tellers when I go in to swap out my rolls.
I use a purple sharpie and put a purple dot on the wrapper before the coins are rerolled so nothing gets on the coins.
Anyone find any of my marked rolls?
Enjoy your searches, everyone.  |

Okay, so when you get a buncha rolls at a bank, and you see that some/most/all of them are marked, do you still take 'em? And does it make a difference if you know they were marked by YOU? What do you do/say?
I got the grand idea that I was going to buy a couple thousand dollars worth of halves and make a few bucks on the silver I found.
1. I went into one bank, and they said "Are you looking for silver? They look different."
2. Went into another bank and all the rolls were marked with a date and big X on the side of the roll, and the open end of all of them also had a big red or black X or scribble on them too. This guy is really making it obvious he doesn't want his dumps back!
3. Went into another bank and they had like 7 or 8 total halves. Junk.
4. Went into another bank and they had a couple hundred bucks in Strings rolls. WHEW - finally a chance! Nope. Skunk. Not even a NIFC or anything out of the ordinary!
Sheesh. So much for making a few bucks. I was very disappointed that day! |

I put a black ring about 1/3 from an end on the wrappers when I dump rolled coin.
I've seen them show up at institutions about 50 miles away as well as all local institutions when I ask for CWR's. |

I recently ordered 2 bank boxes all came in brinks rolls and brinks boxes.
After searching I hade found 1 -1964, 3 1967s, and one 1969.
The majoriy of the rolls were 1971, 1972 and 1976, I got so inappropriate languageed that I honeslty
wanted to stack all the bad ones in my drill press and drill a small hole in each one
thining that if kept doing this, soon the 1971, 1972 and 1976s in nice shape would command a fortune, However i just took the 2 boxs back to my other bank and deposited them.
What amazed me is out of all the rolls, not many mid- 1980's or 1990's were present
maybe 2 rolls total. |
