Ballpark guess excluding the 2 boxes where I found a ton, I would say that from boxes I average about 1 40% per 750 coins and 1 90% per 3000. NIFC at around 1 in 750. Foreign at around 1 per 5000

Today I went and asked if they had any rolls, he said he only had two and guess what they were,
1 roll of mint wrapped 2006 P
1 roll of mint wrapped 2006 D
It has the really nice wrapping too, not the normal paper wrapping, but the like collector issue kind.
did I score?

I don't have any specific stats, but I'd agree it's pretty close to what nod said. My biggest scores were customer rolls, although for every really good haul like I had earlier this week I'm sure I've had at least 10 or more with nothing.
The box I ordered for today didn't even come in.
I've got 4 more ordered for this week, hopefully they showup.

I got $100 in halves from my bank the other day which were hand rolled by some "little old lady". The teller was kind enough to tell me she had already searched them for silver. But I wanted them anyways, I need lots of common dates still. There ended up being several full rolls of 1976, which I don't think are worth anything special, but its when I was born so I like keeping them. =)

My box for today didn't come in, and I was told it that it won't. It was an extra bank that I tried to get an extra box from but I don't have an account there. I asked how much I would need to put into a savings account to order coin every week and they just didn't want to. So I'll try another bank to add to weekly. Hopefully I get my regular 3 boxes tomorrow.

Currently I have two different banks order two $500 boxes each bank per week. The banks are changing hands this weekend. They will have a different carrier delivering next week.

I got my first two boxes a few days ago. At first there was some silver, but then it stopped. I was about halfway done with the second box, discouraged that I was getting absolutely nothing, other than a ton of 1996-P with die cracks, when I got a 1974-D DDO! This is my second! It's in slightly better condition than the first. I'll put up a pic or two when I get a chance. |

I picked up my $500 Half box today, and without opening any rolls, I've already found one - a 1967 on the end of a roll.

I got 3 boxes today. 2 of them had NO silver and the other one had
11 40%ers and 1 1964, so that one was fun.
I have 5 boxes ordered for next week, hopefully they all show up.

You never know, I stopped at bank today I thought was dump bank from someone's searched rolls. They had 1 40% in draw and 2 rolls in safe. One of the rolls in safe was all 40% coins. So ended up 21 silver out of 41 coins. Not bad for dump bank. LOL

Nice find Marc! The banks near me never have any customer rolls.
