You must have WAY too much time on your hands. Now I get to look like the d@*k while dumping them.

This one box had over NINE HUNDRED marked coins!! :censored:
My wrappers are almost always brown but anytime I get the black ones they are usually skunks.

But guess what?
You missed two, sucka!!

That looks JUST like the ones I got today!!! Black wrappers and all...

I just picked up a quick $100 from the bank on lunch, and literally $96 of it had red dots...

i'd take that box any day as long as it has silver in it. but I know how you feel about dumping all those marked coins. I'd run them through a coin machine that doesn't require a bag change.

He doesn't like JFK from the looks of it. A Lee Harvey Oswald wannabe. He ain't looking for silver hence the 90%er, he's a trouble causer and just does this out of rage. Disgraceful.

They probably didn't, just got rolled with the dump. It would've had a dot but it felt good wishing they did miss it, lol.

If everyone marked coins, this is what every box would look like. Most 1/2's we get have been searched dozens and dozens of times. The only keepers are the few that come from circulation that get mixed in. It does make you feel like a looser when you have to dump someone else's marked coins.

i prefer marked coin boxes, means you are getting well circulated coins as opposed to solid boxes of 1997+ coins.

Also, the person that marked all those coins most likely was not the one that missed the 2 silver, I'd imagine there is a huge hopper of halves at the brinks vault and they don't run the wrapping line for them until they have a certain amount.

Nice finds!

People find silver mixed amongst my dumps all the time, granted that I don't mark many coins, I know for a fact that I don't miss any silver.
It all depends on what was in the coin bag before adding your dumps into it, or what the people at brinks or loomis mix into the hopper at a given time.

Haha, I laugh too when I look at your AG ratio compared to mine but I don't find it necessary or polite to post that on your threads...

It's funny, cuz I don't post my AG ratios on here anymore, haven't in quite a while. You think my finds suck, feel free to say it. I find it hard to believe you found my post insulting, in no way was it meant or intended, so please explain.

My bad if I took it the wrong way. It just a came off like you were rubbing it in my face. It's been a bad week all around and finding this just set me off. Wish you the best.

BRChiver-If it makes yu feel any better you aren't the only guy getting skunks and marked coins, I realize I don't do nearly the volume of a lot of guys but I have been doing a box day for the last couple days and haven't found an '87, proof, or even a 40%, as a matter of fact, I haven't found one keeper in any of the Dunbar wrappers, have no idea if that's just luck, or if for some weird reason Dunbar coins are more picked through than others. Either way man, I am stoked for you pulling the two keepers you did out of that mess!!! Great job! You displayed a lot of patience and determination!:thumbsup:

I remember that the hopper of these coin wrapping machines holds 16k halves.
But i don't remember where i read anymore.
