Cabo and Robby the coin slayers for the week, Wow great scores, I cracked 14 boxes last week all skunks. Hopefully I will get some silver this week. Webkin happy to see you are recovered from COVID-19. Now you don't have to worry about catching it again. Looking forward to seeing all the new post this week. Take care.

Egad, Cabowabo, how do you do it? Consistently good scores all the time, capped off with the Monster of all time! Unbeleivable...That score beat my best of 260 - 40's and that was 6 years ago.

A lot of LUCK and a good amount of persistance. When I stumbled across all those halves the other day it started with 2 rolls had about 24-26 silver betwen them. I saw the others in the vault same wrappers and I had a really good feeling they would have silver. I made 3 trips to the bank to make sure I got them all. Again luckily the teller was a doll and kept selling to me. Needless to say I left the teller my name a number and told her to please call me if and when any more halves come in. I keep decent records not as good as some on this forum and that helps. I do have several banks that are fairly consistant with producing silver so naturally they get visited often. I do have days when get nothing but when you have a nice score that's what keeps you coming back. To me it is the thrill of the hunt.I am Lucky again I do have time to invest in the hobby. Sometimes I say to myself when is it enough. Haven't been able to answer that yet so I guess the hunt will continue for a little while longer. I hope I wasn't to long winded.

Still - most impressive accomplishment you have achieved over the last 18 months or so. It seems every week you have another $100 in melt that you got from banks and not boxes, and no skunks. What makes it even more impressive is that both of us are in NY Metro, which has been tapped out for the most part. Your time dedication must be significant...

This week is another skunk week, that puts me at 26 boxes in a row without scoring any silver. Robby Bee This hobby is a roller-coaster ride for sure, One can go months scoring silver every week and then boom, nothing for weeks. When I started it was very slow, then I hit some a couple Monster Boxes, and silver flowed really well then slowed again. Persistence pays off. The most skunks boxes in a row so far has been 58 boxes, I am up to 26 this week and I hope I don't get to 58. I believe there are individuals here that has had more than 58 in a row with out scoring silver. Just don't give up, we all go through these cycles.

Ok, 26 box skunk streak, I feel so much better. Sorry for your luck.
My normal 2 boxes, first box 1 silver every 5 rolls. Found 4 40% then in roll 25 found the '64 90%. Second box noting but some NIFC.

Cabo, Webekin Nice score. Things have slowed a bit this month, Cracked 12 Boxes with 9 were skunks, I pulled 4 pieces of silver, 1-65,2-67, and 1-68. 2-NIFC, 1-11D and 1-16P plus a 1-77S Clad Proof. It wasn't a great week, yet a much better week than last week. Wishing you all a blessed weekend. I might get lucky and get another 4 boxes tomorrow, that is a hit or miss bank. Good Luck Everyone!
