Pnc dimes rock around here, but their halves absolutely have been sucking for the last 3 monthes (garda). They have change machines at about 20% of the branches and I think thats why they used to be so good, now I think thats why they are so bad. Iv widdled them down from 14 a week to just 6 this week. Sucks they are a good pick up bank for sure, only ever had one branch refuse to order after 2 weeks, only because of vault size.

Hey all, been out of touch for over a week, had a storm here in pa/oh. Some great finds by all! I finally found time to go through the six boxes picked up 2 weeks ago, ton of nifc, 4 franklins, 3 40%, and 2 90%. Which ends a mini drought for me. So, I have a unique problem, and want to find suggestions. I have a pickup bank willing to order whatever I want literally. I have a dump bank that will take whatever I dump without complaint in a machine. I have a nice hand cart. I have the capital to deploy for 30 boxes at a time or more. What I don't have is a truck, with shocks good enough for that weight or the time to go through it all. Anyone ever worked with a partner or thought about it?

ken, congrats on your finds you definately deserved to have some luck finally, and I hope you can get back in the game shortly. as for me I have stopped for awhile taking a breather actually feels kind of good not hauling all the halves back, but I know soon enough ill be back in the game!!

MOnks,
Thanks my friend. When taking a break from halves, I have found dime to be a nice alternative.
Tellers are more than happy to give them to you and CWR have produced around one silver per every $250 for me.
Yet, there is just that something extra about halves.
I hope you enjoy your rest.

7 boxes today, 2 bens, 5 '64's, 8 40%, including a '69-S proof, and 10 regular proofs. Also pulled a 1983 50 pence and a 1966 (80% silver!) Canadian half.

Found someone's 2 boxes at a Bank of America today, went home and got the cash and bought them. they were really dumpy so far, have another $250 to go tonight.
Also found 25$ in CWR and $10 in Ikes. May have one Ike keeper, all the halves I already dumped, nothin good. It's fun thought going to new banks in diff towns. One teller took my card and promised to call if they get halves; she wants to get rid of them.
PNC in my area doesn't allow you to do anything unless you have an account.
Might be worth the $100 to open one.
Nice score on the 11 64's!!

No one's ever called yet, but someday they will. This last girl I gave my card to, she asked ME for it, so it may happen.

I do hit them enough that they are saving stuff for me, I picked up 1100 in mint rolled and bagged State Quarters and buff nickels. I should probably just put them on ebay or something. |

I picked up two boxes of the '05 buffs a year back... still sitting in my closet, ha.
I did the business card thing for a while, works great... you just have to give them like, 10 cards. Haha.

Seelinger- how much will all those weigh? That should be ok if you space them around in your car, like 15 in the trunk and 10 in the back seat and 5 in the passenger seat.

How do you know that they're proofs? I have a hard time between a shiny coin and a proof. Any way to tell?
Thanks.

@Kurrykid: A good sign is an S mint mark for newer years. Other signs are a frosty Kennedy/Eagle with a mirror (read reflective) background. For research, especially for halves, start moving backwards through this thread. LOTS of images of proofs in different conditions.
