Another box another nothing. I am getting $200 CWRs after work tonight. I hope they are good and not rerolled searched coins.

Rerolled searched coins aren't too terribly bad, as long as they aren't your own. ;) What I don't appreciate is when you find coins that have been defaced with markers. I went through another $300 today and found a few very nice sliders. The problem is that they all had blue or green permanent marker "stars" on them. It's the defacement that I do not like with the rerolled searched coins. |

I've practically given up on half boxes since I don't have the time or inclination to do the 4-5 boxes per week that seem necessary to make it worthwhile. I am going to try to hit dimes up a little harder so I hope this doesn't happen...

This may be not worth your time, but you could try customer-wrapped rolls of quarters. I went through $290 worth yesterday and found two silvers, a 1934 and a 1951.

It really bothers me to see such marks on coins, even when they come to me in change. |

Amen to that brother. Mark the searched rolls; leave the coins themselves alone. Today's BU Kennedy will still slowly appreciate over time -- it will take forever, but it will appreciate.

I thought I was the only one who was seeing this, folks seem to only mark the ones I want to keep.

The CWRs had all 1972 no DDOs and 1976s. No silver nothing worth keeping.
Getting a box over the weekend.
I hate the markers too, but makw e usre you look for DDOs etc casue they could be searching only silver. I found and NIFC with a blue mark on it. I kept it.

I think that people that mark the half dollars with markers should be smacked with a rolled up newspaper!  |

Don't feel too bad about skunk boxes, I finished up 4 $1k bags (2 cloth sealed with lead and string seals, 2 plastic bags dated 2008 and 2009) and 6 Brinks boxes and got 1 Booker T Washington 1942 half and 1 40%er. THAT is sucky!

The high price of silver makes extraction of silver coins from circulation seem like there is no tomorrow. Every body must be doing it.

Obla:
I think it is a cool coin but at first I thought it was a arcade coin joke. Never heard of the type. I reckon there is a whole passel of commemorative halfs, just wasn't aware though.
