Allen's was one of the first places I tried, but their sleeve dimensions were either larger or smaller. In fact I have a box with 3 packs of their large sleeves that they are kindly allowing me to return. Also checked with Denly's but could not find a match.

I did also try amazon (both US and Canada), but no luck. eBay is kind of a very last resort for me, been burned there before by unscrupulous sellers. And since coinstampsupplies had the exact ones I was looking for, I bought some and now I'm good. But thanks for the suggestions!

Have you tried eBay? They have a lot of good mylar (PVC free) top brand sleeves on sale.

You might also want to check out Allen's Coins of Ohio. You could call and ask to get exactly what you want. I always buy 50 - 100.

There have been collectors here who also sell sleeves though I'm not sure if they're the ones you are looking for.

$7.10 in pre 2000 dimes.
$1.70 in US dimes
One UK five pence dated 1990
And…one silver Canadian dime from 1953.

Enjoy!

February 15th finds:  part 2…Mail call!

When I got home from the second branch visit, I saw a package and an envelope waiting for me.

My contact in New Brunswick had sent me a load of bank notes and it had finally arrived!

In the box, he had sent a huge pile of 1973 $1s, 1986 $2s 1967 $1s and some nicer paper notes.

Highlights of this box include four consecutive BGH prefix notes…for Claude.  🙂

And one ratty 1973 $1 with a near-radar serial number, LS6866666.


The envelope contained three circulated birds $2s that I bought online.  I would not usually purchase circulated birds $2s but there was one note that had a written message on it.  More on this note in my other thread.

Enjoy!

February 15th finds: Part 1

I got so much stuff yesterday that I had to delay my post so I could process it all!  😀

I got an email from the main branch.  The teller said that she had “a few older bills” if I wanted to check them out.  So, off I went and while the notes were underwhelming, I took them anyway because the teller had saved them for me.

I ended up leaving with a couple of $5s, a couple of $2s and a $20…

When I got home from the main branch, I saw an email from another branch.  This second teller said that she had “some crisp older bills that just came in”.  So, off I went to the second branch.
The bills I received at the second branch were much nicer. Six birds $100s, a $50, a couple of $10 and some $5s made up this haul.

Stay tuned for part 2!

Enjoy,
Dean

Hi rxcory.

These look like Lighthouse currency sleeves.  They are available at www.coinstampsupplies.com in small, medium or large sizes.

I'm wondering if anyone knows where I can find this exact style of currency sleeve (see photo). This style has rounded top corners, crimped side edges, and measures approx. 8 x 18 cm. Best of all, they are thin enough to be inserted into large-size sleeves for added protection. Thanks in advance.

February 15th finds:

Yesterday, I went to one of my banks because the teller said that she had “over 200 rolls of pennies”.

I ended up buying 209 penny rolls plus four 1979 $50s and one journey $50 that the teller had received that same day.

The teller said that the pennies “come from the same guy who brings them in in big batches”.

Enjoy!

I still have not come across Charles coins in the wild and will be asking at the bank from now on if they have any rolls, but ... is there possibility they are holding back mass issue of Charles coins, until they circulate all of the Elizabeth's they likely already have minted??

Also, love the token. Read something recently about vintage TTC tokens garnering a high price, but can't remember where?!?
