9am-5PM - - - 5K Non Stop CRH -- Results & Pics

I have the week off so thought I would go out today-Thursday and start as soon as doors to bank opens (9am here, which seems really late to me) until 5pm when they lock the lobby doors. I have always had 1k to do this hobby, but most weeks, I make multiple drops, so that 1k usually comes out to around 5k per week. I had 2 boxes of halves to pick up and was going to spend the rest of the days on dimes as I can always get boxes at most any bank I stop at. Surprisingly there was another bank that had $900 in halves and yet another with $130. So total, I went through just over 2k in halves and the rest of day was all dimes. I really do not remember the exact amount I went through as I dumped at several banks through out the day and refilled at others. I figure it was close to 5k by the time I made my last stop.

Halves - - 13 Total - - 1 90% (64), 11 40% and 1 2000 Proof

Dimes - - 17 Total - - 15 Rosies and 2 Mercury's. Thought I had a silver Canadian (68) but it failed the magnet test.

The high point of the day was the 2 Mercury Dimes. I have gone heavy on the dimes in past few months and have found 3 before today - so to find 2 in one day was really amazing.

The nice thing about where I live is the amount of banks. You can drive 5 minutes any direction and run into a bank, so I was able to stay near my home and not waste lots of gas doing a road trip. I will be back out there tomorrow to do it all over again as well as Wednesday and Thursday. I have a total of 8 more boxes of halves to pick up a different banks so am hoping to see some more 90%'s.

Camera is a Polaroid, just a basic model. Key is knowing all those crazy settings in order to get nice close ups.

Nice finds of the halves and dimes, especially the Mercuries. Lots of work, but that's
the fun of CRHing. Best of luck on your upcoming boxes.
