I'm just getting back into coin collecting, and thought I'd start it off with a bang  Called up my local BofA and had them order me two boxes of Halves...should be here by Monday. Can't wait!  |

Good luck, and make sure you get them as soon as they are in, so no one poaches 'em.

I have always had good luck with the first box of any denomination I went with.
It usually goes downhill from there.

Thanks for the well wishes! So I couldn't resist the urge, and I picked up a box of nickels last night. Not bad, 2 War Nickels (45-P, 45-S) and a 1980 Bermuda nickel (with a cool looking fish on it!). Also a 78-D that was pretty much BU (full steps and pillars on reverse). Not bad for my first box in 8 years lol. |

jjc2779,
What kind of averages did you have 8 years ago?

Mr Click, I don't have the exact data anymore (lost it with my old computer), but if my memory serves me correctly, I would do 1-2 boxes of nickels a week (did that for about 4 months) and this is what I got out of it: (almost) complete set of Jeffersons 1938-2006 (I was missing 5, all key/semi-key dates accounted for) around 20-25 Buffalos (no key dates, nothing spectacular) around 30-40 silver War Nickels6 liberty (V) nickels about 20 foreign coins a handful of error coins (die-cracks, laminations, die-clash, etc.) nothing overly exciting, but I still kept them Sidenote: the most interesting find I had during my previous CRH stint was a Merc dime...while searching a box of pennies! |

It usually goes downhill from there. I just grabbed 2 boxes of pennies for my first hunt, maybe I should have went with nickels/dimes!  Edited by CopperCastle
