@ FTB,
Have you noticed a huge slow down in production per volume of boxes you search? I think that with things like YouTube, people have been showing how they collect silver and that's getting more and more people interested. I was at a bank picking up and they lady told me that someone else came in asking to order. Since I've been dealing with her for awhile and buying them candies and what not, she told the person that she can't order coins for him.

My problem is mostly a result of the fact that I pick up and dump into the same supply.

SEARCHING FOR ERRORS Someone was asking earlier my process for searching for error coins. The process I find most logical is the following. 1.) While going through the coins make one pile of the following dates. 1971-D 1972 1974-D 1977-D 2.) I would also make a separate pile of the following dates. 1972-D 1973-D 1982-P 1983-P 3.) I would then go through the second pile looking for missing FG and missing F error. 4.) Finally, I would check coins in the first pile for Doubled Dies. Some people may also like to flip each coin horizontally and check for rotation error. This takes more time. In fact, there are a number of errors one can search for but to search for them all would demand a large amount of time when doing multiple boxes. My version is what I would consider a quicker version where some of the most common errors are being searched for. Cuds, grease coins, railroad rims, and other errors are there to be found, but the more errors you search for the more time it takes. Also, do not forget to check your 40% and 90% coins for errors as well. A few of the 1960s coins are know for some beautiful profile doubling. I hope this helps. Edited by kenscott

Thanks Kenscott. It seems when I go through them, 1971 is a very popular year. It feels like that's the majority of them.

really I don't know that seeing your same coin over and over is going to matter much, the silver that filters in has to be from someone messing up and dumping so not sure how running your coin a couple hours away is going to do much.

If I ever decided to dump out of state, I am fairly close to Tennessee and South Carolina. In fact, I figure the nearest banks in Tennessee are around 35 miles north with a lot more being around 50 miles north.
When I build my home one day, or purchase one, I would like it to be in Tennessee. There are no state income taxes. Land is much more affordable, and I understand the standard of living is a bit higher as well. Plus, I like the Erwin and Johnson City areas.

I've been having terrible luck with halves lately - 3 40% in the last 24 boxes - each of my last 3 batches of 8 boxes per week has produced only 1 silver. I'm hoping for some silver son as this is probably my worst drought ever. It's still fun though never knowing what will pop up. Happy searching!

Distribution areas cross state lines... I would have to head up near NYC or down to Balt to change districts... minimum of about 3 hours round-trip.

Are distribution areas similar to market areas? If so, I should be safe dumping into Johnson City, TN. The Tri-Cities are Kingsport, Bristol, and Johnson City which all reside in Tennessee.
How could I find out which distribution area I am in in regards to the major carriers (Garda, Brinks, and Loomis)?

Ken, there's no real way to know, you can just kinda call Garda/Brinks/Loomis and start asking questions and see how much info they'll give you. I got very little, but enough to give me an idea that the Philly market for Garda and Loomis looks like this;  Who knows how accurate that is or if they were just trying to throw me off? |

Processed another $1k on Friday. No silver. Few NIFC's. That's $3500 or = 7 box skunk streak. 3 boxes tomorrow. Hopefully it ends there and hopefully it ends with the same flare as Monks =)
Side note; This is the bag of 1k I've been talking about. The first few were from small banks/cu's. The last 2 (skunks) have been the same kind of bags my dump bank uses for their coin. No bank name written. I'm ready for the small bank bags again.
OO
