mfhorn Pillar of the Community United States 959 Posts	Posted 06/05/2008 10:00 pm Hello All, I'm new here. Just logged on 6/4. I've been collecting for years, but quit working 2 years ago, and have a lot of time on my hands. I started roll searching last fall with cents, nickels and a few quarter boxes. Had a hard time getting halves like everyone else, until I started asking my bank to order them. The first couple boxes were fantastic, but have kind of slowed down in the last few months. Has anyone giving any thought to this: If there are enough of us checking rolls from our banks, maybe we are getting the same coins back and re-checking the same ones over and over again. Halves DO NOT circulate, so how many are in the local suppliers (armored car services) of a given metro area? Its just a thought. MFHORN Report this Post to the Staff

m9frank Pillar of the Community United States 628 Posts	Posted 06/06/2008 07:28 am I had similar luck with cents, the first few boxes yielded lots of good coins, then slowed down to a trickle. I chocked it up to beginners luck. I wonder how much impact a few collectors sorting a few boxes has? Maybe more than I originally thought. Report this Post to the Staff

Geography plays a role- Dallas/Shreveport area is fairly dry of silver from the Fed box from Loomis armored car company. Edited by mycrob 06/11/2008 5:17 pm Report this Post to the Staff
