Wow sorry about your luck. I am getting 4 boxes from a bank that has produced 8 straight skunks tomorrow. I am also picking up a couple boxes from places I haven't tried before and will post results. Seems like a lot of hard-luck stories on here lately.

My luck hasn't been as bad as that (yet), but this is the reality of searching boxes of halves. I too see a lot of marks. It's obvious we are searching each other's dumps. I honestly thing the 40% halves I recently found were either missed by someone just looking at the coin edges or were tossed back when people were less interested in halves (or even ignored by a sniping teller who only looks for coins '64 and earlier).

Those sprayed silver might of been mine. Just dumped $2000 last week of sprayed silver halves.

Why are people spray painting coins?

To keep people off my turf.

[CurlysGold]

Faster than painting them by hand.

Yep.

I don't understand MrShulz. How does that keep people off your turf?

When your getting Solid Rolls of silver painted clad edges, and your checking everything, it depresses said Coin Hunter to stop searching in my area, according to eminems map, District 7.

I am guessing you are 15, because that is not a well thought out plan. If coins do stay in the districts, what happens to you enthusiasm as soon as you start getting painted coins? Are you going to stop searching those too? Painting coins just makes no sense at all. It isn't like you can track the paint.

I get painted coins, some of my own, i've gotten a few of Timzims too. I get tons of different marks. I still find silver every hunt to thats all that matters. I don't edge check so it wouldn't matter to me if I see silver painted edges.

If you are getting some of TZ's dumps than that right there blows the theory of the coins staying in the district. TZ dumps in Atlantic City. That is a different district from Iowa. So, you aren't chasing anyone off in your area...........

I never said they stay in districts. I said to stay out of my district, noob. Pay attention to what I say before you attack and swear at me.

AND FYI, I've ran into 2 other CRHer's and during our convo, asked me if I was the one who painted halves and dimes silver.

what are you a drug dealer? the kingpin of District 17?

[AdDicted2Ag]

While I do not like painting coins personally, I could care less if someone wants to spend their time doing it. I do however highly doubt it would ever "chase people off your turf."

If you guys shared which armored carrier was your pickup and which handled your dumps, you might be able to work together to get the stored halves from the pickup carrier.
