I picked up my weekly four boxes this morning. While I was at the bank I was also able to get $50 in CWRs and 8 Ikes. The CWRs had a 1967 and a 1968 in them, so I'm already off to a good start. I'll post my box results tonight if I have time to go through them.

I gave up on ordering boxes after about a dozen or so with no results, then after a long absence, I was lured into ordering two more boxes this last week because of all the finds being reported. Still no silver! got 1)2004, 2)2005, 2)2010, 1)2013, one holed coin and about a dozen 2001's which I didn't bother with.
I noticed many of the same "markings" I had in the past, only now there were 3-4 per roll. someone in the Houston area is doing a whole lot of wholesale searching! Since the markings were not limited to any date but appeared to be random, I think who ever is doing it is marking every 10th coin until they start seeing a statistical equation indicating it is all searched out, sort of like random quality control checks. don't know, but there doesn't seem to be any silver left in the Houston area. Anyone else finding silver in this area?
Going on Vacation to TN, NC, W.VA, VA, PA, NY will check some random banks along the way for teller trays, customer wrapped rolls, etc. let you know in a coupla weeks if any luck. bob

They appear to be brinks boxes. not marked but wrappers are white with black borders. Tried several banks, no luck even though the boxes and wrappers are different. would like to get bags but can't find a source. |

All four boxes were skunks. After I dumped them, I had a few other stops to make and found a box that was all re-wraps. Nothing. Then I got $200 in CWRs. Nothing. Lastly, $20 from teller trays. Those ended up giving me 4 40%s. Better than nothing.
