My bad luck with boxes continues. 4 boxes searched this weekend = 0 silver. That means that in my last 24 boxes (24,000 coins) I have found 1 silver half dollar (a Ben Franklin). No silver coins have been in my last 12+ boxes.
Given my experience until November, this seems statistically impossible. I think someone at the coin distribution company is pulling silver coins. Initially, I was finding a number of 40% coins and a few 90%'s mixed in. Then, I noticed that my boxes were being tampered with. They were often opened prior to me getting them and someone was opening rolls and taking coins out. That has now stopped, and the silver has completely dried up.
Last week, I did some bank searching with some success. Out of $300 in CWR's and loose I found 1 90% (51 Ben Franklin) and 9 40%'s. In addition, a bank had $370 worth of bank rolls (String and Son wrappers) and that produced 2 90%'s (57 Franklin, 64 Kennedy) and 2 40%'s.
So, for the week I found 3 90%'s and 11 40%'s. I can live with that each week. I also have a new bank ordering halves for me from a different coin company - a company that I have had good luck with in the past.
