I have been uninspired to post the daily finds lately for obvious reasons. Anyways it was a good week overall, it started out ok Monday, then a phenomenal on Tuesday & Wednesday. However once Thursday rolled into town it was all downhill, but at least there were a few keepers on the tailend. Tues/Wed accounted for 81/115 of the keepers!

So without further ado, here is the short version, read on for the daily details if it please you!

Total Searched
59 Boxes - $29,500 Halves
$855 dimes

Keepers
92 x 40%
23 x 90%
3 Dimes

Sultan - DB23 had a similar experience at a TD branch a few months back as I recall where the BM tried to cut him off of the coin machine, if you're an account holder you can dump as much as you want for free every week. They cannot charge you non customer rates unless they close your account. Just try to talk it out first, then say ok you will take it to the next level and the OCC if necessary.

its been a double edged sword , my shoulders and lats/back are alot stronger but I've gained weight the last couple months doing 60-80k per month of halves.

I actually went in to the YMCA today and did some cardio + weights. Need to get in there 2-3x a week and get back to Kyokushin twice a week.....gotta get in tune before the twins arrive!

The way I look at it CRH keeps me off the couch and away from the Cheetos. No way you can eat Cheetos and sort coins, black and orange hands, ughhhh :P

Congrats on the twins. My kids are 11 months and 2 years old. The best thing I can tell you to prepare is sleep deprivation! Double your volume to 106 boxes and stay up all night ;D

I should try for a 100 box week huh that would be crazy!

I did 25 boxes one day though so I know its doable if I asked them to pump orders to the max for a week.

Ya I'm ready for deprivation all right, we'll have mother in law help + my wife will take ~ 1 year off work to start...maybe longer who knows!

excellent finds...always good to get a stack of silver. I only have the funds to do about a box a week, but I'm curious how you dump such large volumes? i get funny looks for just 200-500$ worth, even at banks that know me and i have an account at. No coin machines in my area other than 10% coinstar.

Coinlok bags.....been preaching it for a long time on this forum. No coin machines in CA banks either that I've ever seen.
