I have proof that there will be no more silver coins to be found in 2016. I fired up my time machine today and picked up 2 boxes of halves from 2016 and there was no silver to be found. The other week I had a 2008 box. The 2008 box had a bunch of silver. The 2016 boxes had no silver. It doesn't look good fellow hunters: there is no silver left to be found in the future. I have physical proof, not just the speculation of all of the crazies ranting on the internet. You all better get as many boxes as you can now. On a side note is seems the work ethic in the future is just as bad as it is now that whoever was doing quality control didn't bother to say anything about the 10 rolls that were short at least one coin each.    *** Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. ***

Now you must find the same box and destroy it in 2013 before it can be filled and shipped back to you in 2016. Otherwise, the presence of two identical half dollar boxes in the same reality will cause each box to go off in a nuclear implosion and destroy Western civilization!

If we don't remove all of the remaining silver coins from circulation, you can expect that the Government will do that for you. The Canadian Government has active metals recovery systems.
At least, it is still LEGAL to own bullion silver, and I don't think that the Government will reneg on that, as they did with gold, in the 1930's.

Our system is mostly for our nickel coins, though, which can still be commonly found (here's a good analogy: nickel coins are about as common as normal Washington quarters). I don't think such a program would be workable for silver alone. Of course, now it's difficult even to assemble the full set of 1992 Provincial quarters from rolls, and there are only 12 to find :(

I've found you have to make sure your time machine is aimed correctly at the future future or you get stuff that's whackydoodle.

The Canadian government is actively taking out any remaining silver too. I had 37 silver dollars snatched from under my nose because the bank was "required" to return all "non circulating" currency to the Royal Canadian Mint.

Jack---Use of a time machine isn't even necessary. I've done over 80 bank boxes of halves in 2012-13 and haven't found even one single silver half yet. I can find an average of a little less than one War Nickel or silver dime per bank box, but halves... they just doesn't happen where I live.

All that proves is that that box will not have any silver in it in 2016. You could help the entire CRH community by changing the future and adding silver to it to be found, then perhaps there will be a lot more silver found as well...

If the prospect of not finding any silver at all by CRH'ing, how about widening your visions and searching dealers' junk boxes for World coins?
I gave up CRH'ing in Australia 30 years ago because the situation here by banks is so aggressive against CRH'ers, that make such a pursuit almost impossible.
Since then, I have searched through the higher priced ($4 to $15 per item) dealers' junk bins. Some of the coins, ancient to modern that were purchased for, say, $10 each are now valued at $hundreds.
Last week I was lucky enough to acquire, for just $4, a mint state copper coin of the 20th century that is listed in KM World coins at $300. I was attracted to it by it's exceptional condition, despite the fact that it was supposed to be a common coin.
The area in numismatics for me to most often find a 'killing' is in 19th century copper and bronze coins and minor silver of the 19th and early 20th centuries.
I occasionally pick up some nice Late Roman Bronze Coins and poorer condition ancient coins that require a lot of effort to identify. When fully identified their value can be at least doubled, and quite often, much more than that.
Have acquired perhaps 1,000 coins from dealers' junk boxes over about 30 years. I would have spent perhaps $5,000 in that period. That's an average budget of less than $5 per week. My collection would now catalogue value at many multiples of $5,000.

At least this was a fun necro-bump.
