WOW ALL THESE QUESTIONS KEEP POPPIN INTO MY MIND? ITS LATE BUT IM NOT REAL TIRED.SO ONE LAST ONE.CAN ANYONE EXPLAIN THE REAL RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE MINT THE FED AND ARMOURED CARRIERS. IN MY PURSUIT OF HALVES I HAVE ALMOST DRIVEN MYSELF MAD TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW THIS WORKS. WE ALL KNOW THE MINT MAKES COINS.BUT I THINK MANY TIMES WE SAY THE FED HASNT RELEASED UNC COIN YET WHEN WE MEAN THE MINT. AS FAR AS I CAN TELL THE MINT HOLDS THE COIN ITSELF UNTIL RELEASED.BUT THE NUMBERS ARE ON THE FED BOOKS.THIS BECAUSE I ONCE MET A MAN AT A COIN SHOW WHO CLAIMED TO BE A FORMER US MINT EMPLOYEE.HE WOULDNT SAY MUCH BUT AFTER I BOUGHT SOME COINS FROM HIM HE WAS MUCH FRIENDLIER. I ASKED HIM IF THERE WERE ANY SILVER UNC COINS STILL UNRELEASED HE SAID .NO ,IN LATE 1974 EARLY UNC CLAD WAS MOVED OUT OF THE WAY SO ALL THE UNC SILVER COULD BE GOTTEN.SUPPOSEDLY THIS CLAD UNC COIN IS STORED IN A GIANT UNDERGROUND HOLDING AREA ON PALLETS.BUT HERE IS THE THING TO THINK ABOUT.HE SAID THE GIANT UNDERGROUND WEARHOUSE IS BLIND ENDED MEANING ONLY ACCESS FROM ONE SIDE. AFTER THE SILVER WAS REMOVED EARLY 71 TO 74 CLAD WAS PUT AT THE FAR END. EACH YEAR AS THE MINT PRODUCED A SURPLUS COINAGE OF HALVES.THEY WERE PALLETED AND PUT IN STORAGE. IN FRONT OF: AND BLOCKING ACCESS TO: ANY PREVIOUS YEARS MINTAGE.OBVIOUSLY I TOOK THE GUYS INFO,ITS JUST HEARSAY AND I CANT PROVE HE WAS TELLIN THE TRUTH.THIS WAS YEARS AGO AND JUST LIKE ANYTHING IMPORTANT I LOST THIS GUYS CONTACT INFO.HE WAS PRETTY OLD BACK THEN SO HES PROB DECEASED BY NOW ANY WAY.BUT GIVES U SOMETHIN TO THINK ABOUT.IF WHAT HE SAID IS TRUE THEN IF WE COULD BLAST THRU EXCESS HALVES AND CREATE DEMAND WE MIGHT HAVE A CHANCE AT EARLIER UNC ROLLS GOING BACK TO TO MAYBE THE SEVENTIES UNTIL THEY DECIDED TO MAKE FOR GEN CIRC AGAIN. WOW ID LIKE TO GET MY HAND S ON SOME 82S AND 83S. OF COARSE NOW ITS EVEN HARDER BECUZ ONE OF THE FEW PLACES USING HALVES WAS CASINOS.SOME SMART PERSON IN THE CASINO FIGURED OUT THAT PEOPLE ARE MORE WILLING TO LOSE TOKEN THAN REAL COIN.KINDA DISASSOCIATES THE MONETARY LOSS FROM BEING REAL.ALSO ANY LOST NOT SPENT OR COLLECTED IS CASINO PROFIT.WELL I GOT OFF SUBJECT A LITTLE THERE.OK THEN NOW WHAT ROLE DO THE ARMORED CARRIERS PLAY. I CALLED THE FED AND THEY SAID THEY DONT STOCK COIN ANYMORE.ONLY THE CARRIERS DO. MY AREA IS IN THE CHICAGO FED RES DISTRICT. I HAVE NOTICED THE ARMORED CARRIER I MOST SEE IN THE STREET IS UAS UNITED ARMORED SERVICES.A QUICK CHECK OF THEIR WEBSITE QUICKLY REVEALS THAT THEY PROUDLY PROCLAIM AS BEING THE COIN ROLLING FACILITY FOR THE CHICAGO FED RES DISTRICT. I CALLED THEM BUT THEY WONT SAY MUCH.EVERYONE IS SO AFRAID OF RIPOFF THESE DAYS AND W GOOD CAUSE,I GUESS. BUT I NOTICE,BRINKS,WELLS FARGO, ANDERSEN AND A FEW OTHER ARMORED SERVICE AROUND AS WELL. THE SQUARE BOXES SEEM TO BE FROM BRINKS AND THE LONG BOXES FROM UAS. THEN ONE DAY AFTER I HAD BEEN DOING A LOT OF ORDERS W A BRINKS BANK THERE WERE 3 SQUARE BOXES AND ONE LONG.THE LONG BOX WAS CLEARLY MARKED BRINKS.SO I GUESS I HAD RUN BRINKS OUT OF THEIR OWN HALF SUPPLY AT THAT TIME AND THEY HAD TO ORDER FROM UAS AKA "THE FED".WELL TELL ME YOUR THOUGHTS ON THIS.BANKS WILL NOT TELL U WHICH ARMORED CARRIER THEY USE. SORRY SO LONG.BUT OH WELL.WHO ARE HE PROMINT CARRIERS IN YOUR AREA OF THE COUNTRY?
