I just picked up my first 2 half boxes to search.

So far I have done one and the results are ok I guess:

2 - 1968 - 40%
1 - 1980 Medio Peso 12 1/2 Gramos Same size as a Half Dollar. Anyone know any info about this coin?

Search results are a little weird and couldnt tell if its silver or not. It looks like it but I have no idea. I will post pics later.

Second box is done and the results are a little better but not not much:

1 - 1969 - 40%
1 - 1964 - 90%
1 - 1948 Beji

1 - 1989 Medio Peso Domincan Rebublic coin. Any info?

Not so good. Not really worth my time. Will try one more time though.

Re: First 2 Half Boxes ever

I'm getting a box next week and I hope to find more than you did. I quit for a while but I'm looking at getting back into it. The thing is, just finding a couple 40's doesn't make it worthwhile for me time wise or financially. Glad you found something though. :thumbsup:

But the next big score could be in the next box. That is what keeps me going. I just dumped $4000 today and netted 3 40% and a proof.

Your right. Don't bother. It's not worth it. All the silver is gone. :icon_jokercolor: Really though, if you give up that easy then this hobby is not for you. If you expect to get rich it ain't gonna happen.

I dont expect to get rich, not the reason I got into it. I like the hunt. I guess im like most people that want to get more than I got. I would love to get a box like the guy who got 100+ keepers. Takes time....

It is a lottery - also got one today out of four boxes. I guess the silver is all gone, might as well call it a day.

If you are truly in it for the hunt, switch to pennies or nickels. You will always find something worth keeping. :thumbsup:
