Very good average TMm! I'm digging into my first two boxes of the year and found one Ben, but went through $470 in MWR's to get it, but I'm not complaining.
Maybe in the next $530 worth of halves I can match you with another 90%. But it would be great to find 2 in 28 bucks worth of halves.
Way to start out the new year!:thumbsup:

Picked up three CWR of halves today, skunked.

Dumped them, found two keepers in the reject tray:

1951 Roosie
1957D Washington

Took the slip up to get my cash, found a keeper in the teller's tray:

1945P Jefferson War Nickel

Nice!

Ouch.

Thanks, and same to you. Don't worry about me though, I'm a self-driven and determined individual; almost to a fault. Haha.

The only Sikver free stamp I see on my boxes is the hand written sharpie on top that says what branch my repacks came from. That's how I know if my boxes are guaranteed Silver Free, lol. HH, Maverick.

At a few different banks I get boxes stamped with the code "5819", they are Garda-supplied banks. The boxes have school-bus yellow writing on them, and the wrappers are yellow-and-white. I've gone through maybe thirty in the past year, all of them skunks.

Every once in a while I'll come across cube-style boxes from Garda-supplied banks, and they are always skunks as well. The wrappers are goldish-and-white. I've been through maybe fifteen of those.

Anyway...

Picked up a box of halves today, skunked. Dumped them and found three Roosies in the reject tray:

1946
1958D
1963D

Picked up two boxes of dimes. Will be searching them in a few hours after the kids go to bed.

I've got one more box of halves to pick up on Saturday, that'll put me at five boxes.

I've gone through $58 dollars in CWR/loose halves.

At least I have a lot of people in my area dumping silver into the coin machines. It's almost to the point that I find silver in the reject tray every time I walk into a dump bank. It's one or two coins each time, a few grams to half an ounce a week. But it definitely adds up.

It was one of only a few, laying flat with the reverse showing.
