Viewing pleasure!! Um no!!! More like seeing little punks putting graffiti on buildings

Perhaps you could lighten up a little...it was sarcasm. I don't like seeing it show up in boxes anymore then anyone does. The fact is that if you crh your going to see marked halves in every single box you get. That's just a negative part of the hobby and I don't see it going away anytime soon. It was just a pic of some of the marked halves in my boxes this week and when you see more then average marked halves in your boxes, we all know its not going to be pretty.

Just looking at all of the various marks....you must be in the Chicago Fed District. There are more coin searchers in that district than any other..Am I right??:laughing7:.

I see a ton with a little red dot on them, but i don't mark coins. I enjoy living in the dark about how many times i have already looked through the coins, and feel if i saw my own mark a ton it would deter myself from looking lol.

Just wondering. Do you guys mark for fun to see if you get the same ones or do you stop searching a box after you see a marked one?

My week was awful too, only (10) 40% in about 15 boxes. I don't remember seeing any of those marks besides the pink/red paint, and I don't mark halves so none of them are mine. I do see a lot of marked halves, though. The marks are more lazy, usually just "God" blacked out with a Sharpie, or a black, purple, or blue line across one or both sides of the half, or orange spray paint, or burned halves...

Did you find my marked coins in brinks boxes. I am guessing that because I have found my mark in brinks and have also seen a truck a the bank I dump my halves
