12 boxes today, 8 skunks, 4 produced... the 4 that produced gave up as follows;

1 40%
2 40%
2 40%, an '82 GW Commem, 3 Bens, 9 WLH.
4 40%, 12 Bens, 10 WLH's.

Not bad... the two boxes with the 90%ers had plenty of enders too.

So I graduated and I've been through 3 of six boxes so far. There's been a lot of drinking and going out since last Monday. But on other news, 2 produced and one skunked. Meh, oh well. On to the next one.

Has anyone ever "payed it forward" and just thrown back a 40% or higher, just so you can say that you did your part to keep this system going? Cause eventually we'll run this river dry, then what?

Colles, the "river" has plenty of "tributaries" dumping silver in all the time. Most of the coin I go through is marked by me, or has coins marked by me. Silver is constantly being dumped into circulation.

FTB, I get that the river is always getting replenished by people who dump coins at banks because they didn't know that the coins granddad had in the sock drawer were worth something. But its just hard for me believe the numbers some people post with results that I get. I've been going through a lot of coin, probably 50k before I took this small vaca I was on now, and I've only found 10 90% and one of those ten is a Ben Franklin.

11 boxes tonight, only 2 40%. Brutal day. 20 boxes tomorrow and Saturday.

Colles, $50k isn't even a full pallet of halves. You might have other big hunters in the area... all you can really do is increase your volume to try and increase your odds of getting those good boxes. Those two boxes I got yesterday were my best boxes ever by 90%'ers. My best box in terms of total keepers had 99 40%'ers and 1 '64. It is out there, it just takes some luck and some serious work to get that luck on your side.

Happy hunting!

Been rough again this week, so far 12 boxes yielded (1) 40%. I need some good luck mojo.I have 4 boxes today. I have hit about 25 banks this week for loose/cwr, and nothing their either. Wheres the holiday cash ins? I'm hoping to see something by middle of january from that. One of my pick up banks has 2 tellers that snipe all the silver and they have only found 3 coins this month. The head teller is real nice, they dont mess with my boxes, she gave me a lead on another branch, says they all have coins in their trays and rolls in their drawers, told her thanks, but the problem is last time I was at that branch, I know that head teller snipes also, gotta think those have all been searched, might try and go clean them out soon.

Good luck out there. My one year mark will be end of january, still hoping to hit 1000 40% by then, but need some good hits if thats gonna happen.

I guess your right. Also, my banks are giving me a really hard time about ordering in volume too. I've tried and tried and they keep telling me only one box a week. I do have a two banks ordering me 1000, but thats it. Sad times for a lonely jobless college grad.

Found these in 4 boxes yesterday.
I have been very lucky with 90% finds
my 40% to 90% find ratio is 4.3 at the moment this year.
387, 40% and 90, 90%. March through July I did not look for any halves, I was busy with Jefferson nickles.
I finally got the album completed so I went back to halves in August.
