Been pretty slow as far as finds lately... I felt sure I would finish the past two weeks on an 8 box skunk streak, but I ended up finding 2 1964 jfk's in my last box... A sigh of relief. Happy hunting!

Bought a box a few weeks and got 11 40% silver halves :)

Though the biggest find for me last year was when after taking in $100 in quarters for work, I then took the hundred to the nearby bank wanting a box of halves. I instead asked for halves and they had $99, so of course I asked for them. They had to reroll them as the original rolls had customer info on them. I saw the teller take one roll out and dereolled and I saw just straight silver. I knew at that point I was going to be getting at least some silver. Afterwards I get back in my car and decide to look at another roll. Another full roll of silver. My eyes turned into dinner plates. Finally after getting home I deroll the rest. In the end there were an additional 2 full rolls of silver halves. Out of the $99 in halves I got $39 in 40% silver halves :D

A few weeks before the end of the year went into a bank and got $2.50 in halves. 1 1964 halve and 2 40% halves :)

4 boxes and all skunks. The past 20 boxes have had a little over 25% of coins marked with a green 'm' or green scribble. I'm wondering what changed in the process. Anyways, best of luck to all.

Take Care,

Sauce

The first 4 boxes of this week is another skunk,up to 10 in a row, 4 pieces of silver in 47 boxes, I would say my numbers are definitely dropping. Good luck everyone hope someone scores some big silver soon.

Sauce, I'm guessing your local coin vault is filling coin orders "first in, first out", "M" is your local competition, and "M" is searching and dumping a lot of coin into your system.

Berto, that sounds like what's happening here. I'm curious if it's that:

1. A new CRH'r started searching halves or if a new CRH started marking their halves that they've searched.

2. A change was made to the distribution logistics (e.g. first in first out).

The interesting part about this is that I used to get these marked ones from a specific bank that I stopped going too because of the horrible finds. A different bank I started ordering from had great yield. Now these marked ones started showing up.

I only use one bank for dumps.

Take Care,

Sauce

This morning I am a happy CRH, I cracked 4 boxes this morning I picked up yesterday, the first three boxes were skunks, but box 4 yielded me 11 pieces of silver and 1 1960 Hong Kong Dollar. I pulled 1-65, 1-66, 6-67, 1-68, and 2-69's. Feeling a little better this week, long skunk streaks suck, but you only loose if you give up. I wonder if I ever hit 100 box streak will I feel the same. Off to dump and pick up my last 4 boxes for the week.

Feels Good
