Looked on eBay and Amazon, nothing.

at first, I thought this was just PMD, but it doesn’t look like the metal has been pushed anywhere. Is it a strikethrough error? (note the die chip on the hat.) I tried to Google, but didn’t see anything similar for this specific coin.

Had a rather small haul at my usual banks last week so I branched out early and hit some new places yesterday.

When trying new banks I usually just ask for $40 quarters to gauge their reaction and see what I get.

First Bank gave me a ton of attitude and then told me it was federal law that they couldn’t make change unless I had an account with them. I was polite and just said OK, thanks and walked out. (didn’t want their stupid coins anyway.)

Second bank was was my usual dump bank, but it was on the way so I stopped in and asked for halves and two dollar bills. Got five $2 and two halves!

I’ve been to the third bank once before many months ago and they gave me CWR but then told me I had to have an account so I didn’t go back. but again they were on the way so I tried them again and I got four rolls of CWR quarters. I might have to open an account at this bank seeing as they give out CWRs.

I had never been to the fourth bank, but it’s right near my house so I don’t know why I haven’t been there before but I got four rolls of MWR quarters and then asked for dollar coins or halves and the other teller speaks up. “How many do you want?” my response as always “How many do you have?” she had 36. And as she’s pulling them out of her drawer, she starts telling me how her grandmother used to collect coins and starts dropping them on the counter to hear the pings and I noticed there is some silver and I’m trying to stay calm without jumping up and down and saying gimme gimme gimme.

For the quarters I ended up with a couple of die chips and cracks and a stack of better conditions. The halves are all in great condition, including the two 1964s.

Now I get to go hit my usual banks this afternoon!

Weekly pickup of CWRs, just $45.50 this week.

1 entire roll of 1976 quarters! some really nice ones but no varieties. Keeping them all!

a few shiny newer date quarters worth keeping, two old beat up nickels, a few shiny dimes and some with random die chips/cracks. For cents I found one wheat (1945), one Canadian, one 2009, one 2025, a couple of die cracks, and a good handful of coppers

Go to put my idler pulley back on for the second time and the little nib the bolt goes into broke off.

Looks like timing covers are unobtainable. none on eBay, no junkyards near me. Anyone got a lead on one? I assume they are all interchangeable?

hmm, wonder if I can just run it broke like that?

1 1994 Die Crack

Seems a little light on copper or maybe they are just getting harder to find. I wasn’t looking very hard for errors but that die crack jumped out at me.

Traffic will be a mess for a while but sounds like it will make things much nicer when finished.

Before I button it up tomorrow anybody notice anything off?

The suspect drove a moving truck from NEW JERSEY just to dump tires in North Philly. I hope an example is made out of him, Philly is not a place for people to come from other places to trash

1996 SC2

just replaced the timing chain on my 1996 SC2, it starts up fine and does idle but it’s not really stable. Sounds wobbly. Wondering if my timing is off by one tooth? The alignment pinhole seem to line up and the dimples on the gears are at the top. Anyone see anything wrong?
