Brinks Pulling Silver? Sure Seems Like They Are

@ftb--I think you just lent some serious confirmation to what I said above.

Now I'm starting to think there may be more CRHers in the USA than there are registered voters...

with silver half I always figured that when they stopped using them in casinos they flooded the market with them and there is probably pallets sitting that never get touched because they never have to dig that deep

This last weekend I got a box of dimes without any silver or canadians, I was a little shocked honestly because I had always had good luck with loomis boxes before, I've found 3 silver quarters in loomis rolls.

How can people be SO confident that they do?

I'm not offended, I'm glad to get responses. I feel people should be able to talk about things without getting rubbed the wrong way. That's how we learn :)

However, I stand by the statement that numbers don't lie. I'm not naive, though, let me explain.
"Guns don't kill people, people kill people"
It's not the GUN acting, it's the person.
Applied to my statement:
Numbers don't lie, PEOPLE lie.

And as I showed in my math. even if there were 50 silvers per $500, when sorted with 97% accuracy (estimate, but you could change it and get the same results, higher accuracy would mean the profits diminish faster)
You would take that 50 and multiply it by .03 (the decimal of 3%)
50 x .03 = 1.5 silvers per box

So, I guess that's not convincing anyone. Let me kick it up a notch!

Lets assume insanity. $500, 500 silvers. Half of the 1000 coins. I'll track the coins this time, since in this case it would be a massive profit, but STILL be something that would only make money for a short time, then be useless.

Let me start by pointing out that for 7 years they made silver Kennedy halves (assuming thats the main pool of coins, not Benjamins and walkers), and for the past 42 it has been non silver. So this assumption is far beyond ridiculous in giving favor to the position that sorting could be feasible over time.

Starting silver = 500 coins, multiplied by our 3% error, gives us

500 x .03 = 15

Only 15 silvers per box remain after only one run through such a machine!

2nd run:
15 x .03 = 0.45

Now less than one silver for every TWO boxes!

3rd run
0.45 x .03 = 0.0135 per one box

Thats 1.35 silvers per 100 boxes

You could assume any accuracy, any number of silvers per box, and it would STILL dry out the pool in only a few runs.

This is why I believe They either
1: Culled it at one point and it's over
2. Didn't cull

Don't forget, people have been culling for silver for almost 50 years now! Whether by machine or hand, it's mostly gone. You see silver that people deposit from what they find in elderly people's homes, more or less.

Man if you can drop that much out of your area a week, even better, your doing everyone in your area a favor doing that. I agree I'm sure some people inflate what they actually do.
I dump into one supply, and pick up 6 of my boxes back from it, and 8 from the other supply in town. The one I dump in is hit or miss, but when it hits its usually good. For some reason the 2 banks I get coins from that I dump into, seem to get different coins. I was doing a bunch of boxes from that supply for a while, and those 2 banks always produced different coins, then the other banks that used that supply, I could tell by marks etc... I'm probably wrong, but maybe those coins come from a different vault. Who knows its all luck really, and you gotta be in an area where the silver gets deposited into the system as well.

I think I proved once and for all three years ago that brinks doesn't systematically cull silver from their depositors. If they did there is no way I would have ever been able to find these
