just got finished with today's 20 boxes and 19 of them were skunks. the other gave up one 1968 40% kennedy. that's right folks only one keeper out of 20 boxes. bummer.

Did you observe any irregularities, like marked coins or maybe a super abundance of Casino rounds? We had a bad batch couple week ago that were %93 Casino Rounds- thought maybe one went broke and they cleaned out all their machines & I got most of them in our Boxes.

oh yea i sure did. several hundred coins were marked various ways. most with sharpies. some had been scratched. like i said the competition here is dog eat dog. i guess everyone around here has to fight for every keeper they get. well i guess there is always next week......

That's a good attitude to have. I'd take that one if I thought I could still get some of the results you've had in the past.

Hey Silvercop , I feel your pain man, I just did the 3k version of that - (scored a 1995-s proof)
yesterday . Brother , just remember - the time we spend finding very little ,is what gives us the
special thrill when we score the goodies ! It takes a bit of hardship and humility for us to have
a proper perspective and not to get greedy and forget who the giver of all good gifts really is.
Keep the faith and keep on pulling the goodies whenever they appear ! Argentium.

Welcome to my world. That puts you close to my AVERAGE.

You've had some good results lately. As you said, there's always next week. Now how do you get rid of 20,000 halves?

With all the "skunks" in the pipeline now due to the apparent explosion of CRH'ers, I'd think it would become quite hassle for some of the weak CRH'ers and they'd quit after a dozen or so skunks; I know one fella who tried it once 2 Boxes got nothing and quit right there.

Oh, yesterday googled Bank locations for the wife (she has had unusual number of Banks refuse her dumps) along her driving job route to dump at, this new dump bank found for her as of yesterday she brought in 2 boxes the teller said she was glad to get them cause she has a number of people come in every day asking for Halves :laughing7: . I hope they get real discouraged and come to that Bank often. :laughing7:

SC

You were hoping for a Mister G score,or a mountainman but got stuck with a Rich Hartford box score.

It stinks to get skunked on 20 boxes but you have pulled in some great scores this year and will do so again.

Next Thursday might be the the big one.

Good Luck

Rich

Talk about a downer! I'd be depressed for days!

I gotta commend your dedication though.
