RCook, sure no problem, This is approximate, I take pics of most of my finds, so by the pictures I have I have pulled approx, 47 ounces and that is 45-90%ers and 181-40%ers. That is almost $800.00 smackers in silver at todays market value. Better than a poke in the eye with a sharp sitck. Wow, that's better than I expected with all the skunks you've been getting this year. I know the numbers aren't what you're used to but still congratulations on decent numbers. I haven't had any long skunk streaks this year, but I think I have had more skunk boxes than I'd had by this time last year. As of the end of last week my silver finds were a little over 39 oz. for the year. |

Ckrackowski - thanks! Pictures looked fine to me , although I uploaded them from my phone and may have rotated them by accident. I wish I found silver like that every week!
6 boxes - 4 skunks and 5 40%. Until next week ....

and 17,40% If you're disappointed you can send them to me. I agree not a great haul but still a few ounces is better than nothing. After having a few skunk streaks that lasted a few consecutive weeks I learned not to complain about any amount of silver. I called the bank in town that I thought might be my only hope in getting them to become my new dump bank and told them I was looking for a new bank but I had some expectations from them as well. The branch manager said they had 3% usage fee on their coin machine to active customers. The more I think about it the more I'm thinking about just taking the money that's in my checking account out, putting it in the safe deposit box and not let any bank make money off my money until they're willing to do something for me. |

1 box from my emergency pick up bank from 2 weeks ago: skunked. 2 boxes from Tuesday: only found a Magicians coin. 4 boxes from Friday. 1 box had an ender. In the roll was a 40%er, an Ellis Island, and an NIFC. Also in the box were 2 2016 proofs. I only need to find a 2015 for my complete 1964 to date proof from circulation set. The other 3 boxes were skunks except fora Magicians coin and a couple of NIFC and a gold plated counterstamped. Picked up a box from my emergency pickup bank: a Franklin, 9 1964's, and 3 40%ers.  |

Wow, carloscoria! Got pics? As for me, a much more "normal" box yesterday after back-to-back silver skunks, one being a COMPLETE skunk... 1 40%, 2 proofs, and 6 NIFCs.  CRH Nickeloholic. 1,600,000 nickels searched in eight years! Have found FOUR complete Jefferson sets!
