wonder how far I can push these banks, what do you think would happen if I ordered 60 boxes? do you think they would do it? my thought partly being to dig deeper in the pile that may have not seen the light of day for some time

Order only 50 boxes. Sounds better. Plus it's only $25,000.00

I wouldn't worry about the banks at 60 boxes a week... I'd worry about having the bankroll, time, and self-discipline to stick to that. 60 boxes a week is pretty rough.
I did 86 boxes in one week before... it wasn't easy, and probably took a solid 22-25 hours to do everything.

I do have adout 35k I can lay my hands on. Problem would probably be the dump. My thought is if I could cycle through that much it may pull up some coin not seen in awhile

Unlikely, dude. I am doing $20k a week and seeing stuff I dumped a few weeks ago. If you really want to dig down deep, you'd probably have to move through 200-300 boxes a week and dump it far, far from where you pick it up.

Great scores Halfhunter and Indian1. I plan on making a more serious run tomorrow for halves. The eleven 1964s from the teller's tray this week have me a bit more motivated than usual.
I would like to find enough to fill out two tubes by the end of Feb. I would like to have one tube of 64s and one tube of 40% halves. Hefty goals, but goals all the same.
I have yet to find my first Benji or Walker. So, I am now motivated.

I have 6 or 8 boxes tomorrow, I ended up marking the last 12 boxes to see where it comes back from, I will mark the next 10 boxes or so with a different mark and dump them at a different location, one being coinstar at a CU and the other one of my banks. I am thinking a different color each month for a year would be interesting too. The drop that takes the longest time to cycle back to me will be the one I use all the time. I plan on selling 2 of my trucks, if I do that along with a student loan if I get it, would put me at about 70k to play with for a short time then I would need the monies for other stuff.
I am in SoCal and I run my diesels on freebee waste fryer oil so I could run all this stuff to vegas and stay for the weekend for pretty cheap, shoot if I were to take the family I could have the wife and kids checking in the back while I am driving, LOL. A few 70k vegas drops could would be cool to see what happens. I wish it wasn't a pain in the butt to counter strike all this stuff, would be a cool way to mark your culled coins, if it was a cool stamp it may get some people to take them out of circulation if only to keep the counter strike. I also spent a couple hundred in halves this week hoping they will not filter back in as quick, small move I know but even if it delays them a week or two it could put them into an older box.......
Makes me feel good about my chances though if you are able to pull such numbers and you are still seeing your dumps coming back in a few weeks that new silver has to be entering in somewhere along the line all the time.

Good luck... I've got 16 more boxes coming tomorrow that I'm gonna try to search. All Garda, which has been great this week with like a 3.25 per box avg.

Not to many pages ago, bish posted his rotated half. Here's one I found tonight. I think it's a very significant rotation, and the coin is AU condition.   Here's my coin and a normal half, front and back.   Am I mistaken or is this almost 180 degree rotation? Would appreciate all feedback! Thx guys

if it's not a magic coin and it sounds and weighs correctly, it needs to be slabbed by NGC. I sold one of mine for over $400 in AU condition and it wasn't nearly as good a looker as yours is.

what should it weigh bish?
Funny, I thought the same thing about the magic coin. I tried twisting it, it didn't budge.
