I know you posted about that box earlier as having 31 40%'s and 2 90%'s, if I remember correctly. Are you saying that out of the other 54 boxes you only got 2 more 90%'s?

Im just saying, i warned you about this, when you do insane, no job, volume, this is what happens, did 8 boxes this week and got higher totals than you. Just some more advice, cut back on the volume, maybe half of what you are doing = less skunks for you, and a better week next week for all of us.

P.S.
Not trying to be rude, just trying to give some friendly advice.

That is not how I see it. I thank you Tim for taking 50 skunks away and dumping them on TD or whatever national bank that takes the motherload of clad. HH

If I had the dumping options, I'd do 100 boxes a week. If I didn't burn out, and/or felt like doing more (and had the time to do so), I'd go for 200.

So if I understand your post correctly, you're stating that TimZim should do less volume so that there is more silver left out there for the rest of us. I am assuming that is what you meant by, "a better week next week for all of us." So that means if you walk into a coin shop tomorrow and they are selling ASE's for $10 each, you would only buy a few and save the rest for other collectors? That's very noble. Since I'm only currently doing 2 boxes a week, and you're doing 8, would you mind cutting your order back to 2 boxes as well so that you don't have an advantage over me? Of course you wouldn't do that and I don't blame you. Who gets to decide how much is too much and why?

Personally, I disagree 100% with your post. I don't believe I have the right to tell another CRHer how much volume is "too much." Should other CRHers attempt to tell me to "cut it back", I would likely suggest a place they could visit and even an activity they could do with themselves while they were there. ;D I don't feel any obligation whatsoever to not get every scrap of silver that I'm able to get in this hobby, nor do I feel that others have an obligation to "save" any for me. CRH is not a "team" sport. I firmly believe in getting all you can, while you can.

+1... If I had the ability, I would take ALL boxes of halves in the country, and leave you all with none! Wear it out TimZim!

Let Tim do what he can until he reaches a plateau of where his area is dry. By that point, he can only blame himself for bleeding his area dry. Let him decide on when to stop or slow down based on what his ratio of finds are and when and if it's worth it to keep going. If my area was great and rich with Ag, I would still keep going.

My area has slowed down by a lot. I am doing less volume and focusing more on stock trading but that is my area. Everyone's area is different. Let them find out for themselves the best course of action.

Re: 55 boxes This weeks totals So So Week!

I am sorry folks but some of the comments make no sense. I do not know about you guys but I am doing this for the money. Not for my health, not as a hobby because i have nothing better to do. Nothing will make me happier than draining every single silver coin in my area.

Tim, Based on the pictures of the odd stuff you are getting I would bet you are ordering bags of coin and not boxes, You would never be be getting all that odd stuff in boxes. Based on your results, I would say you are running out of bag pallets and are soon to hit the wall. I only say this because I have been there and done that but it was years ago. It was something else while it lasted!

Tim is in NJ, within ear shot from the Philly mint. How will he ever run out of halves to search?

Most everyone posted spot on, do all the volume you can sanely do and dump with ease.

Happy Hunting Tim and looking forward to next weeks totals.
