Lean day but still good...

Went through 5 boxes today.

One box was a skunk. Man I hate skunk boxes. Not even a NIFC.

One decent box and all the others were just one or two in the whole box. I ended up with 4 90% and 14 40%, a 1996 S Proof in bad condition, and 20 NIFC's.

This was the first skunk box Ive had in several months.

I hear about some guys going through 20 or more skunk boxes and it just kills me. I think I would be so disheartened that Id give up.

Anyway 3 more boxes tomorrow and hopefully a few more coins to add to the stash.

Take care.

I average about 30 fiddy cent boxes a year. When all is said and done, I could have bought the silver outright for less. Seriously.

I had 20-30 boxes in a row without a skunk followed by 20 or so skunks in a row. They are tough to swallow. I find that mixing in some nickels and/or pennies helps me get through the skunks.

I switch it up. I seem to find silver in dimes sometimes, but customer rolled halves always seem to work for me

 

[Hi Ho Silver!]

I know the feeling. I had two boxes this week. First was a skunk. The second produced one 69 and one 64. Still better than zip. Keep on Rolling.

Try out some nickels. These keep me entertained as the dates are super easy to read, and you can tell the age by just glancing at the coin.

If you're wanting to strain your eyes, go for some pennies or dimes

Hang in there chief, we all have crappy times.
