Scott W Valued Member United States 132 Posts	Posted 02/01/2011 04:40 am What do you all find your average keeper percentage is? I have just completed 1 month of serious searching (although my one month would be many of your one weekend). My numbers are 5190 total coins, turning up 32 90% and 18 40%, with a success rate of .96% If you throw out my only good score, the rate drops to .44% Is this consistent with everyones findings? I am not a new coin hunter, as I have known the value of keeping the 'pre-clad' coin in all forms since 1965! I used to roll hunt as a kid, and thought it would be fun again! Also, anyone can see I am very small scale. I have never got more than 600 coins at once, as I have to keep recycling to have the cash necessary for this endeavor. I am going to pick up my first box on Friday, however. Looking forward to that! One more question for possible discussion: Do you sell your finds for more cash to look at more coin, or hold onto them? I have been tempted, but I view each keeper as a hard won trophy, and that makes it hard to be realistic about its true value. Maybe a drop in silver to about $10 per oz. would not be all bad!

Credz New Member United States 14 Posts	Posted 02/01/2011 08:54 am I just called my bank and they said they come loose from the Feds and are $1000. Is this right? Report this Post to the Staff
scrapper2010 New Member United States 40 Posts	Posted 02/01/2011 4:00 pm Scott W, I can't help you out as to the percentages as I am somewhat new to this but I have gotten lucky with customer wrapped rolls(CWR's) 30 total 40%s and 4 total 90% out of about $1000 searched, and have been unlucky searching Brinks boxes so far, four complete boxes searched, found 2 40%.

Scott W Valued Member United States 132 Posts	Posted 02/02/2011 4:54 pm I wonder if it has to do with the region you live in? For instance, I live in a sparcely populated area in the Pacific Northwest. I have done CWRs and machine rolls. If I throw out the 28 90%ers I found in CWR (which I am sure was somebody cashing in an old guys stuff) the rest of the results are about 50/50. I am going to do a box a week for awhile. Later I will go to 2, and use 2 different banks that I know have different suppliers. I may get to do a little comparison shopping later on. Report this Post to the Staff
Scott W Valued Member United States 132 Posts	Posted 02/02/2011 5:24 pm On another note, I have cleaned out all the local banks of halfs, except for the two that I dump at, and one that is someone elses dumping grounds. I went to the 'huge' city op Walla Walla, and there were less than 10 rolls to be had downtown! Report this Post to the Staff

tornandfrayed75 Valued Member United States 447 Posts	Posted 02/03/2011 3:45 pm For those that get Brinks boxes: Do your rolls come wrapped in paper or plastic? Are your Brinks boxes sealed? Report this Post to the Staff
