14.8 boxes of halves & 10 boxes of cents... Results not bad... even found a penny!

First post in the last few weeks, so here is an update. I am trying to increase my volume, but I am having difficulties finding banks who will order for me. I can dump as many as I can get, but I can't seem to get anyone to order me halves!!! Frustrating!!!

I picked up 4 boxes of halves one week, 10 the next, then got $400 of MWR from a different branch. I also picked up a total of 10 boxes of cents throughout the last few weeks.

Results:

Halves:
Box 1: (1) 40%
Box 2: Skunk
Box 3: Skunk
Box 4: This box had a 40% ender, so I saved it for last. Got (2) 40% & (1) 64 Kennedy

Box 1: Skunk
Box 2: (1) 40%
Box 3: Skunk
Box 4: (1) 1976 Proof; (1) Buffalo Boy (I re-marked the coin with a black marker over the year)
Box 5: Skunk
Box 6: Skunk
Box 7: (3) 40%; (1) 1937 Penny (don't usually find these in bank-wrapped rolls!!!)
Box 8: (1) 40%; (1) 1973 Proof; (1) Yankees gold coin
Box 9: (2) 40%
Box 10: This box had a 40% ender, so I saved it for last. Got (4) 40% & (1) 64 Kennedy

$400 MWR: (2) 40%

TOTALS: (2) - 1964 Kennedys; (16) 40%; (2) Proofs; (1) 1937 Penny


Cents:
10 total boxes searched
Wheaties/KGVI (avg 13.6/box):

(51) - 1940s
(08) - 1930s - 35, 36, 37, 38, 39
(03) - 1920s - 28, 29
(01) - 1910s - 19
(02) - KGVIs - 41, 45

You have awesome wheat penny averages. I find about 7 per box, but i also find about 3 KGVI a box too

Not bad for boxes this week man! A little better average than I did... My last 12 boxes of the week only gave up 1 90, and 3 40%...

I hear you on ordering boxes... Its rough in this area too...

Was the BB marked coin a 4/13 or 5/13? I found a few this week and remarked them as well...

I have to many banks willing to order for me and no where to dump :/ Exact opposite of you haha

 

[SilverForBrains]

my problem is always the other way around, plenty of banks offer to order but no one wants to deal with the coins after they're re-wrapped!

 

[Infowarrior]

Yah that does suck!!

I couldnt imagine having to re-wrap them!! Then no body wanting them after that Ouch!!

There must be a perfect city/area to hunt that is full of Coin machines and other banks willing to order for you!!

I have no problem dumping, but am so spread out trying to get orders... ugh lol
