Well June started out strong and hit a slow spot in the middle and I kept plugging away.

I stepped up my box orders this month and am up to 16 a week now + whatever I can find in the wild.

I did manage to score 4 Solid silver rolls in the middle of the month.
I got a call from the C.U. saying they had a Bag of Quarters, Nickles and Penny's for me and I was about to reject them but asked if they had gotten any halves and she said they may have 4 rolls....... So I said OK I'll take the 3 bags and the 4 rolls.

When I get there she has the bags ready and I asked her about the halves & she said oh, and runs back to the Vault to get them. When she returns she says
"These are all silver.... Look this one says Franklin's on them and these say Kennedy's"

I said wow.... And than she starts taking them out of the rolls and I'm squirming. I said you can leave them in the rolls, but she said the account numbers are on them so I'm gonna put them in an envelope for you......... WEW..... I wished she had left the rolls alone Because I wanted to post a photo of the old rolls saying Franklin's and Kennedy's...... But I got the silver instead....... Bummer. LOL

1 roll all Franklins
2 rolls all 64's except 4 additional franklins among them
1 roll 40%'s all 65/66


Anyway here are some pictures of the goods. That score increased my totals for the month quite a bit.

I will update the totals when I finish counting them.......... For now Enjoy the photo's

More stuff. Check out the whittled down Half. It's about the size of a SBA...?

Poor mans counterfit?

I would say I am putting in 8 hours a week on the halves alone.

Some days I do 4 boxes others just 2.

When I do my 4 box day my pick up it's less than a mile from home.
So 15 minuets to pickup the coins and bring them home.
1 hour to do the rip and edge search.
around 45 minutes to go to the dump bank and run the coins through the slow coin counter. It eats at about $120 a minuet. so around 15 minutes to run 2k through, providing there are no coin jams or lines or filled bins. But my average for this run is 45 minutes. All told 4 boxes = 2 hrs of my life invested.

Take that equation and use it as a base and it comes to 1/2 hr per box so 16 boxes = 8 hrs.

penny's are around 2 hrs to search $50 and 15 minutes to run them through the counter at my normal dump bank. Slow machine.

A 1k dime bag runs about the same time line as a $50 penny bag as well as a $200 dollar nickle bag

I did discover another type of coin counter at a C.U. that is not my normal dump and it eats $100 in pennies in about 4 minutes. But they also Charge 3% of any amount over $100 so I only take penny's there.
I do buy their Dimes Quarter and Half Dollar bags from them when I can. Those have produced Silver because that particular machine does not reject anything.
My normal dump bank's machine rejects Silver. and is very slow.

To sum up your question I probably logged 10 to 15 hr weeks this last month with the volume of pennies dimes and Nickles that I did search. So around 48 hours in the month of June.

I am currently laid off from my job at a big 3 supplier. And since being laid off I have added 4 boxes to my weekly search and taken everything the C.U. offers.
