I picked up 4 CWR of halves at one bank and 20 CWR halves at another bank today. The 4 rolls provided a nice bit of silver 8 40%ers and a 1987 for my collection books (working on 5 of these). Interestingly, one coin in each of the 20 other rolls had a marked coin in it. Just one coin per roll and all the same mark.
I will typically make a simple mark on somewhere between 5 to 10 rolls out of a box with a sharpie as I am curious as to the likelihood of seeing them again and trying to figure out what the turnover of halves in my area is.
I know there are some differing opinions are marking coin but I was curious if you do mark your coins approximately how may out of a box do you typically mark. I have never seen any of my coins but I only starting marking them recently and not very diligent about doing it a lot of the time.
Also does anyone mark other coins. Considering the volume of dimes and nickels minted every year I have always felt marking lower denominations was not really a worth while endeavor.
