Has anyone found throughout their hunting that they get more silver during the early week vs. late week shipments?
My bank gets deliveries on Tuesdays and Fridays. I have had almost no success when I get a Tuesday shipment and see much better results with the Friday shipments. This goes for dimes and halves, don't have enough input on cents and nickels to weigh in either way.

Yes maybe but I COULD just spend the fifty cents ! I'm just really happy that I have found a minimum of 2 silver in all but one of my boxes (which was no silver but a proof and 2008 pres coin). One box I had 6! I know it doesn't compare to some of the huge finds I have read about but I am extremely happy with the silver I've found

How do you even get 8 boxes to search through? I'm lucky if I can get one every other week.

I ask banks to order boxes, but some banks won't order them, and the others get them so slowly that I only get one once in a while. I've never gotten silver in a box, so I don't know why I bother. I do get silver halves occasionally when banks have loose or customer wrapped rolls.

Thanks!

Out of the 8 boxes, 2 were skunks.

1 box had the 3 barbers, 3 Walkers, 4 Franklins and 6 JFK's and 2- 40%er's

1 Box had almost half of the total find, around 60 coins.

The other 4 boxes combined made up the difference.


I get 8 boxes each week - 4 each from 2 different banks.


Till next week on Halfs: Good Luck hunting to all!
