Picked these up on Tuesday. One of the banks the teller had $4.50 in loose halves. Turned out to be 3 Walkers and 1 40%.
Excellent!

I had no idea when I started this thread it would grow into this size! But I am glad to have done something positive for the hobby.

Happy hunting!

@ Arby96:

I think you may need to consider opening a new account at a competitor bank and try ordering from there and see if your high % skunk rate can be more directly reduced by taking a proactive step. The bank where you are getting your boxes from is drawing the halves ultimately from the same source and it seems the well is pretty dry. Try a new bank and they may draw halves from a separate source. You may have to try this a few times. I will bet a credit union will draw the halves from a separate well.

Good luck and don't get discouraged!

Nice day yesterday a few banks produced these. One of the rolls was especially nice. I seem to be on a nice run with 90%. I know it won't last lohg.

Second set of 4 boxes this week skunked. Cabowabo, I wish I could go to another bank and order boxes, the only issue is since I live in a small town all the boxes of halves come from the same fed. Though there are two different types of boxes, coins I have marked from one set of the rectangle boxes end up in the square double stack boxes. I would have to travel an hour and a half away to order boxes and that is not worth the trip that many days a week. Silver will find its way here its just a matter of how many boxes I have to search to get it. Nice score by the way, its always nice to get more 90%ers over 40%ers. Keep stacking!

Arby, I'm still goin. 2 last week and my first box this week Aug was a long time ago and I'm beginning to think to try what mycrob said and go to a different bank to get some halves at. To add some insult to whats been going on my box today was missing a roll, no silver and short changed for the first time. Better times are coming(I hope)?
