DANG!!! With numbers like that, I think my wife and I will have to take a road trip to NYC this fall! You are killing it!!!
TimZim is in NJ, not in NY. I don't think he is near NYC.
1/100 of an American dollar is a cent. It is NOT a penny. The word penny is used by several other countries, such as Great Britain, to denote their smallest denomination. In order to be numismatically correct, you must use the term cent to describe the American coin.

I've never heard anyone mention this, but don't the markings wear off? I've found halves with colored laser paint almost totally worn off, which doesn't bode well for a mere sharpie mark.
the marks do wear off over time, though should last quite some time, long enough for you to likely get your half dollars a few times... i've gotten a few of my OLDER half dollar marks back, kind of weird since back then I marked about 30 or so, and have gotten some of the same coins back several times, could be explaining my skunk boxes too...

never marked coins !! i ran into lots of marked coins in my last 4 boxes...green stripe . think i'm going to start marking !!!just to see who gets them !!!!
my mark will be rims painted silver. Stacks upon stacks of them. Talk about unique!
You have to tone the color down to make it look like real silver.

Sometimes, after getting skunked on a few boxes, I get a little frustrated... so I have taken those nice shiny 2011 halves that I've come across (oddly enough, there have been a LOT of them) and write NIFC on the obverse in big letters. Other times, I give Kennedy a big "smiley face" on some of those gem uncirculated 1976 or 1971's I come across. I've seen dots in ears on a lot of mine and I cant help but wonder who that is!!
Here is mine, although it's not a half, its still coming from America. Anyone recognizes this one?

seems like a colmplete waste of time,you need to get out more.marking them why? you cant see the mark till you open the box.if they were re packed with other coins from reg depositers then your marked coins are just mixed up with the new deposits after there sorted, I guess if you have nothing else to do its ok, just seems pointless.
people generally do not mark coins other than halves, though I came across a marked penny this weekend too, scanner is broken, so i'll describe it... a gray trace of lincoln on the front and "nancy" written on the back
