You realize that some recycling places will pay you for your recyclables, right? Take your boxes to one of those places and use the money you make off of that for CRH.=)
2 birds with one stone!

Question
Why have you accumulated boxes? Have you ever noticed so strongly the machine rolled halves are?
Simply uncrimp the end and slide the halves out. What you do not use, slide back into the rolls and
simply press down the end. Works very well. Save wrappers. Also, you can put them back into the same
boxes you got them in and return the whole works to the bank.
If you wish, you can mark them in some simple way to prevent possible double checking.

Hi Kenscott, Many regions will not allow you to re-roll your coin. I had to go to 3 banks to find someone that applied a little common sense and would take a brand new box of dimes. Every bank around here has a policy to not accept any pre-rolled coin. The customer must unroll it and be processed through the counter if you want to deposit coin. I've been to probably 40 branches of 5 different banks and they all have the same policy.

Wells Fargo here only accepts rolled coins and they give me wrappers for free.

2 birds with one stone! You can ask if your bank will allow you to throw them in their dumpster? My bank is willing to do this for me. But, I only search 2 to 3 boxes of halves and maybe 4 to 5 boxes of nickels a week. It would not hurt to ask them. I will not take my empty boxes to any local recycle centers. You must show the recycle center your Drivers License in order to receive money. This helps them prevent theft of things like copper wire. I do not think it's a good idea to allow someone to have my home address after they see me recycle thousands of dollars in empty boxes. The going rate for recycled cardboard is between $.01 and $.05 per pound. This works out to $20 to $100 per ton. It takes a lot of cardboard to make a ton. I would rather donate it to my local college. I don't think it's worth the risk. We have had home invasion robberies in my area because the crooks followed someone home after they bought a new big screen TV. Crooks will always look for an easy opportunity. |

We have ours collected curbside and I have just folded it in with other cardboard. Funny I D for almost anything we do but to Vote it was considered a way to suppress the vote!

4 boxes today and one teller tray score netted me 31 40%ers and 3 '64's. :) The teller tray score was 7 40%ers.

Fade to Black - You should keep a total (boxes and silvers!). You're finding a lot of silver out there! An impressive haul

I keep very, very accurate track of my numbers via spreadsheet. I'd show you a screenshot, but jealousy might get the better of some here. :p

Is there a general list of years, mint marks, errors to look for other than silvers when searching halves? I usually do dimes and pennies so kennedys are new to me. My case comes tomorrow  |

General list:
1. Any half 1970 and before.
2. DDOs: 1971D, 1972P, 1973D, 1974D
3. No designer's initials (FG) on REV: 1972D, 1982P, 1983P
4. Any proofs that were released into the wild.
Anyone else want to add to this?

Don't forget the silver nickels from 1942-1945 (large mint marks, 1942 had some that are standard 75%copper, 25%nickel without the large mint mark) Also, at times the silver proof coins get broken apart and you could find a current dime, quarter or half date (1992 to current) in circulation as well. I think there are some 1976 halves that were 40% silver as well as some Eisenhower dollars. If you are a copper keeper the 1982 and prior pennies at times are kept, especially the wheat pennies. |
