1 Box this week - No Silver

An odd thing did happen though when going through this box. I weighed all the rolls and found one that only weighed around 214 g while the next weighed around 236 g.

Somehow, the machine had shorted one roll a half dollar and added it to the next roll. I did not think the machines could make such an error. Aren't there safeguards in place?

@kenscott: I think its the coins themselves. I did like $10 in pennies this month and theres huge width variation.

6 boxes: ZERO!

First time completely shut out on any silver.

* 1-1972D " NO FG Initials" saved this week!

Taking a few weeks off on half searching and start up again the beginning of Nov.

Lately it's been too much effort and little reward on halfs.

I'll be concentrating mainly on pennies.

Good luck to all,

Chuck.

3 boxes before work today.

3 1964, a nice 1946 Walker to go with my nice 1941D I found the other day, and 4 40%ers.

Jack -you've been doing well lately! Good job!

Kenscott- I've noticed the uneven rolls in a box seems to happen every few months. Usually you break even .

Last year late summer until Christmas was good to me as well.

It seems silver finds picks up later in the year. I am banking on a good 4th quarter to make up for Jan 1 to July lower than average find slump including my 25 boxes straight slump.

Unfortunately BMO has gone the fee route starting this month. I asked the head teller yesterday about it and she said she saw the memo and that they have to log all of the boxes so I will have to see how it pans out and the timing couldn't be worse not that things are picking up.

I actually counted both rolls and one indeed had 49 halves while the other had 51 halves.

Good to hear I am not the only one it has happened to. I did come out even on the box.
