Ken, fcb in Triangle uses Brinks. In Jan, results were mixed with more toward skunks. However, as I mentioned earlier, it's been dried up over here across the board (Loomis, Brinks, Garda) for few months. I stopped counting skunks months ago. I had pulled only 2-3 40%ers in the 4 week period, while doing 10-12 boxes a week. Yes, few 40%ers out of almost 50 boxes. Hope your area still produce. I took a break two weeks ago. This is truly not wort my time and hassle at dump banks.
Rest in Peace

Isn't it 1964 and back are 90% and 1965-1970 are 40% ?

The question was about proofs. There were no proofs in 1965~1967, but 1968~1970 should have been included as there were 40% silver half dollars in the proof sets those years.

yea my bank messed me up this week as well forgetting my halves, but I cant complain I found more silver in the dimes and quarters thanks to missing out on the halves. Jak youre right I cut down for the same reason its definately a hassle bringing back halves so I cut down to just 3 boxes a week

Jakarta,

I am not sure what FCB uses here in the Western part of NC. Chances are if they use Brinks in the Triangle, they may well use them here. I know the bank that orders for me uses Brinks and things started off nicely about three months ago only to dry up here in the last month or so.

Does anyone still search quarters? I thought of it but think this is probably the most searched denomination out there.

Depending on results on next two boxes this week, I will likely move more towards dimes next week and see how things go.

6 boxes this week. I found 2 40%s. in 14 boxes over the last 2 weeks, I have found 3 40%s. It seems like there is a lot of searching going on in my area. Until next week, good luck everyone.
