HalfCrazy: 1-65 is still better than ZIPPO! and definitely better than getting poked in the ear with a carrot! (Ouch!)
I've never had any luck with other rolls except the yellow and white String & Son Wrappers.
Brink's boxes have been a total bust and on a very rare occasion I'll end up with a box that has rolls that are dark gold/brown or black and white.
They have no name or identification on them. I don't know what company wrappers they are, but they are pretty bad also.
My dump bank uses Brinks as it's carrier and I do not order Brinks boxes, so hopefully it takes awhile for the Brinks boxes re-circulating into the system before I might be getting anything I've already gone thru, but I'll never know, as I do not mark any coins.

Took back my dump today and ran it through the coin counting machine and... while getting my cash the teller tells me "We had a gentleman drop off $640 worth of customer wrapped Ikes, ya want 'em?" Ummmmm, sure, will pick them up tomorrow! :)

Did a box this weekend and some customer rolls. All skunks.
I did notice that the latest box wasn't a s&s box. Rolls were black and white...Loomis perhaps?

wrestling, I'm thinking your area is dry unfortunately :/
is it the same bank you keep ordering at? or have you shopped around? I'm sure you've tried everything.

I am waiting for those "some 40s" :) What used to be my joy in finding one or two halves is now a joy of hopefully finding one or two silver dimes :S

Picked up my first box of halves today, about to go through a bunch at lunch. Wish me luck! Need to search this thread to see exactly what all to keep my eyes open for. I did 3 CWRs a while back and I did pull one proof JFK, I think a '93 S or '97 S can't recall, but it was fairly marked up.
