Greetings heavy metal fans ! Went on a short road trip yesterday , bought 3 boxes of halves
which yielded a modest 10 40% silvers. On a whim I went to a credit union across the street
from where I bought the boxes and asked for any rolls they might have . The two rolls were
dreamy --- roll one had 14 40% and 3 90% (64's) , roll two contained 8 40% and 1 90% ,
also a 64. Returned to my town and picked up another two boxes ... box one = 1 40% ---
box two = 3 walkers , and my first British large penny -1915 - I then hit another bank for
over the counter rolls and copped two more 90% (64's) . A very entertaining day for sure,
I'm beginning to see a pattern - for the numbers searched , the percentage of silver harvested
is bigger in over the counter rolls than from boxes, clearly the two dream rolls skewed the
numbers in this case , but looking back on the last several months experiences , I believe this
to be the case . I will from this day forward keep a list comparing box yield with over the
counter yield - I welcome your insights . Argentium.

Great finds. I got to get hitting the banks on those few days I have off (when the banks are open, that is). Congrat!

Nice. That's exactly what I have discovered, that the finds over the counter exceed the boxed finds. ffd

Have had some impressive over the counter customer roll finds but none, well one has been a little more than 1/2 (419 %40's) our bestest single day Box order find in 19 of 20 Boxes last year we found 758 Silvers, 338 were %90's too, so even that on Silver ounces is really less than half best Box find.
