After 3 years of searching, I finally got a Walker. And of COURSE it did NOT come from a box. My boxes still are culled by someone before they hit the street, IMHO. They HAVE to be, since I still find only about 1 silver per 11 boxes searched this year, but the supply going in is MUCH higher than that.
Whenever I find a bank that has a few bucks worth of halves, they are good scores. that's what happened today.
I went in to a new (to me) Wells Fargo to deposit some rent checks that came in. I was in Scottsdale instead of my usual areas. The teller had no halves, but I asked if anyone else did. She checked and came back with $4.50. OUt of that I found
1- 40%
1 - WALKER!!!!
My first EVER Walker. It is a beat up coin ("Uncirculated" in my book, of course, since it is my first lol. Sorta like that first deer, which is ALWAYS a 6 pointer - western count) but still it is a Walker. And I got 2 silver out of 9 coins!
I get that a lot. I'll find a teller with coins, and I get maybe $10 and I find 3 or 4 silver in it. So I KNOW that silver is going "into" the system. And I know I don't get it all before it is turned in. But nothing comes "out" of that system in the boxes. I think somehow someone is culling at the rolling factory. I know it has been discussed, and I can't prove it, nor have I talked to anyone, but I think out here at least they have a way to cull. Too much disappears and never makes it back out.
But I found a Walker!!!!!!
It's a 1934S by the way. :-)
