Today's Boxes 10/22/09

Picked up about 400 buck in quarters and dimes today. Lately the handrolled dimes are tough to get and the quarters are marked.
Anyway skunked out on them

Picked up 8 boxes of halves today from two different banks. Two of the boxes were skunks.
Here is what I got
1x 1918 s WLH
1x 1942 "
1x 1945 s "
1x 1964 Kennedy
2x 1966 "
3x 1967
7x 1968
1x 1969

I'm picking up six more boxes tomorrow. Still have to work out a buy and dump routine. Hopefully I can do 20-24 boxes a week. If the dump banks drop me I'm out of here and on to other fun and games.
I did get a 1908 Barber Half. However it was a forgery made out of a lead/ tin composition. There had to have been some other metal in it to harden it as I was unable to bend it with my fingers. The oxidation on it appears as if it were made 50+ years ago.

That sounds cool would love to see it.

sounds like the plan is off the ground.

So you quitting if your dump bank drops you? I am starting to worry mine might do the same, but I am not going to quit, on to plan B!

AG,
The boxes are light when you buy them,but weigh a ton when you dump them.
I've been kicked out of dump banks before and I don't want to chance being left holding the bag(of clad).
It is nearing a year that I've been involved in CRH and the thrill is gone.I don't think my heart would skip a beat if I picked up 10 dream boxes in a row. However I hate to quit anything. So I'm going to push the envelope as far and as long as I can. Once I lose these dump banks that's it. I have other things that I am itching to do.

Seems like these boxes were worth your time. You may not want to give up just yet.

Great job on the 1918s. What condition was it in?
