The Silver Machine New Member United States 44 Posts	Posted 04/29/2010 9:09 pm Well I said goodbye to the top secret location I was doing 8 boxes a week at. It was drying up :) I've come half way across the country to my new theater of operation. In the past 3 weeks I've only been able to do 3 boxes but I'm happy with the results. Box one - 1-64 Box two - 1-64 4-40% Box three - 9-40% I think I'm going big next week... like 10k big. I will post the results.

basicbob101 Pillar of the Community United States 819 Posts	Posted 04/30/2010 1:21 pm here's some pics, there is some gunk on the walker and a black spot one of the franklins, haven't attempted to clean it off yet. Can't figure out the gold walker, unless someone had it plated and worn as a necklace in holder, then it was later taken out and spent ( maybe by the guy who stole the necklace!) any other ideas?

afcop13 Pillar of the Community United States 1409 Posts	Posted 04/30/2010 2:29 pm Good job Bob........congrats! $10 loose for me today - just a lowly 2003 NIFC in HORRIBLE shape. I put it back into circulation at Popeyes Chicken. Report this Post to the Staff
basicbob101 Pillar of the Community United States 819 Posts	Posted 04/30/2010 2:57 pm Thanks afcop, my heart skipped a beat for a micro-second when I saw that gold in the roll, thought I might have a Double Eagle, oh well, maybe next time. My bad, listed the walker as 1943-s and it is a 41-s Report this Post to the Staff

SDcoinguy Pillar of the Community United States 2424 Posts	Posted 05/01/2010 08:37 am i know a lot of people seem to get a lot of silver from customer rolls.. what is generally a good indication that there would be silver from them? I know its kinda a dumb question. I have been calling around to ask if banks have loose rolls, and most banks do not have any. they say they have recycled ones someone has dumped. the one time I got silver form CWR's, was when they had $240 or so rolls, which when I look back, is a number that is unlikely to be someone elses dump. thoughts?

HalfCrazy Valued Member United States 271 Posts	Posted 05/02/2010 01:34 am Box 2 and 3 for the weekend were skunks. Time to consider hitting some other banks and step away from the fed boxes for a couple days. Report this Post to the Staff
fistfulladirt Pillar of the Community United States 4333 Posts	Posted 05/02/2010 03:40 am SD, there really is no rhyme or reason to finds in hand-rolled coin. I have found new-wrapped w/old silver, old-wrappered w/new clad, $310 in rolled dumps, w/the 31st roll being all silver,etc, you get my point...it is all luck of the draw. Nothing is really consistant. When I listen to LED ZEPPELIN...so do my neighbors... Roll hunting since '77 Dirt fishing since '72 Report this Post to the Staff
eddiespin Pillar of the Community United States 1547 Posts	Posted 05/02/2010 10:49 am Quote: roll being all silver I'm still waiting on one of those, that would be a first for me. Never got anything older than a Walker, either, still waiting on my first Barber. Report this Post to the Staff
