To PICK UP or NOT

How do people feel about several hundred dollars in CWR in one bank? When I find these is usually is a bust. Rarely ever turns out to have any silver. Other peoples opinions plz.

I picked up $380 from a branch last week that yielded one 40% which I assume the other hunter just missed. Is it worth skipping buying them to miss out on that one time where it IS a silver cache?

True. Thats why I always pick them up. One time I picked up 500$ and it was a skunk. Tried it again and same thing happened about a week later. Usually I judge it by the abount. 1000$ most likely a dump. 1070$ might be a dump plus others rolls.

Its all a mind game trying to rationalize dumps...lol

It's $350 of dumps, with $30 of silver loaded rolls from some old lady...

Always take it all. What do you have to lose. Im pretty new to CRH but it seams to be a numbers game. The more you get the better chance you have. You just never know when that collection dump is sitting there waiting for someone. It might as well be you.
Besides, most banks look favourable to people taking their halves. Next time they might save some good ones for you.

I always pick 'em up. If it's someone's dumps, oh well. At least you get those CWR out of your area.

I did it once, it was 32 rolls, 29 of them were my dumps (my marks on the rolls) but 2 of the other 3 were solid Walkers! You are only wasting your time not any money.

My best score was from $730 in CWRs in which a little over $530 was silver. You can't have a truly big score without a big pick up. The more the better as far as I'm concerned.

That must have been incredible... I can only imagine seeing that much silver. Not sure what i would have done lol. I guess I would sell the "lowly," 40% and poor condition 90%

My first was 140.00 in CR got 120 40% there, Sold 4 rolls for 160.00 kept 2 rolls for me, and dumped the clad. I take them when I find them, even the searched ones. Get them out of the my stream. Have a nice Half Album pretty much filled, and killing nickels, wheat cents between boxes. My collections are all filled at face value.

Silver was in the $40's. I wish I had sold it all.

Always buy them all!!!!

Buy it. If it is clearly a dump, you did the bank a favor, and know for next time they have a large amount of halves in.

Sometimes I just pick some of them up....

There are a couple banks that I know the tellers are coin roll hunting. There is always 500$ in CWR and teller always brings them to me grinning ear to ear. Hell she may be on this sight.
