It's starting to get very tedious again with very little reward.

I have 2 boxes of dimes for this week-end also as it's easy to dump them versus boxes of halfs.

Chuckster - you are probably getting my dumped halves from TD bank unfortunately. I dump all my halves at TD Banks in NJ! That's why I will never order boxes there!

Dang it, my bank didn't get my halves this week. I relieved the teller of a box of nickels and a box of dimes instead. I'll post the results under the appropriate forums. I'm hoping for a Mercury dime since I haven't found one yet roll hunting.

Thanks alot! (LOL)

Seriously, I stopped ordering any Brink's Boxes of Half's from the TD bank by me awhile ago, just an occasional ONE BOX here and there and it's always the same results- ZIPPO!

99.99% of my boxes are from other banks and they are all String & Son Inc.

I also use TD Bank primarily as a dump bank.

Been through alot of halves in the past 2 weeks (10k in Boxes, 2.5k ish in cust wrapped). Found 3 40% in the boxes. That is 3 in 20 boxes. Found 3 90% and 4 40% in the cust rolls. 2k coming tomorrow.

I also bought a new vechicle last week and paid my taxes in half dollars. You can just imagine what the corpses at the DMV thought of that.

I actually have a $500 box of bank rolled halves ... wondering what to do with them ... I do believe I will keep and sort them seperately to see what I end up with ...

Got skunked in my box today. I have 3 more coming in tomorrow, if they are not good I'm taking a break. Got 2 cust rolled today when the box came in 5 40% and 1 90%. Looks like I'm searching the wrong thing...

well, it is obvoius that the halves are well-picked......now it's probably a matter of being in the right place at the right time to find the CWRs.....of course, for the price of 2 boxes of halves one can get 4 boxes of dimes

We've gone through 10-12 consecutive boxes a few times without so much as even one hit. Just laugh it off and chalk it up to having paid your dues. Come back from time to time to the same bank(s) and sample a test box. Remember, luck in this game tends to run in streaks.

Went to a bank today and bought 5 rolls of halves. The 4th roll had a 90% Kennedy. I bought $2 in dimes from the teller's tray after spotting a white stripe. 1964 philly.

Hybes - did you wheelbarrow those halves in to pay the taxes? LOL -- they must've about crapped their pants when you plunked a couple hundred rolls of halves down on the desk!

Car taxes shouldn't be that much should they? I mean unless you are buying a Ferrari or something.
