I found a 40%er today that was marked by another CRH. The first thing I saw was the silvery edge, and then I saw the mark, and then I saw the 1968 to confirm it was silver.  Ahh, the joys of hunting coins  I also today missed a 40%er for I think the first time. I edge search first, and then face search, so each coin gets checked twice. And today, I found a 68 that I missed! Well, I guess that is why I check em twice. Maybe if the hunter marked the obverse instead of the reverse, he would have noticed. Who knows, |

I found a 1974D DDO the other week and the coin (along with a lot of other 1972, 1973, and 1974D halves around here) was marked with a black marker over the "We Trust" I had always wondered if it I should keep checking them of take the others person word for it that there was no error |

Hey Skidbid, I prefer 91% Isopropyl Alcohol to take of those kind of marks, its less hazardous and works great and does not hurt the coins finish at all. Jack nice finds on the walkers, I weill take that any day, what condition is that 1920 walker? I have found a 74DDO that was marked once, so I check them all. Good luck everyone. Keep posting!! I pick up 4 boxes tomorrow hope to get 12 boxes for the week if all my banks order.
"LOVE THE HUNT!"

jdk, you may want to find out what day they place the order, and touch base with them on the morning of. My places usually order around 10, so I would make sure to call around 9 if I wanted to place an order that day. Helps them to not forget. I may do that. I did not want to risk coming across as pushy so thus far I've limited to my requests to about once a week. I figure I'll give them another shot or two before I start calling. It just seems like such a fickle thing I don't want it to backfire on me. Thanks for the advice. And 8 pieces of silver in two boxes is a good day! |

Went through one box of halves yesterday and found three clad and about four NIFC ones including the first 2014 P I've seen. Very few marked coins in this box.
Still looking for my monster box.

I'm starting to realize that finding silver in halves in a lot more difficult than I had hoped. I just started CRH a few weeks ago and snagged THIRTY SIX (36) 40%'ers out of about $150 worth of rolls. Granted most were in pretty bad shape I was ecstatic! I also found a Franklin half during that same trip (but at a different bank). Now I've gone through a couple hundred more and got absolutely nothing. I read here where you guys do 3-4 boxes and get skunked too! Is it even worth it? Right now I just have a jar and I'm keeping all the halves I get. I haven't really even looked through them for anything non-silver that is worth keeping. I'd love to get more silver but I may stick to pre-81 pennies for right now. Atleast when I go through a box I always get stuff I want to keep :) |

Good to see the silver finds out there. Arby, your persistence is remarkable. I don't have anything to search this week (or last), but do have the pic below to share. It's my second grader's homework I was helping her with. Got a chuckle, I'm sure you guys will pick up on it pretty quick. Now she'll probably be the only one in the class knowing the error on the homework!   |
