silver has been dry this past month... 6 boxes of dimes only gave up 2 silvers, my usual dump bank, where the coin counter's reject bin/tube usually give up 1 or more silvers was dry too. Must be a Big city thing, to have dry spells around the holidays. Lets hope Jan, is where the silver starts following again. WIsh everyone had a Merry Christmas, hopefully a Happy New Year and lots of silver as well.

Silver has been dry around here for a few months as well. Boxes have been 5 or 6 skunk then 1 box with 1 or 2 then 5 or 6 skunk again. Cwr have been far and few between. I did find a solid $20.00 cwr yesterday. So I can not complain to loudly.
Lets hope for a strong start to 2016.
Happy New Years to you and HH

I have had an extremely hard time finding any CWRs, but the boxes I order have been steady. Not great, but steady. Out of every 4 box order I usually get 10-15 with a 90 to 40 ratio of about 3 to 1. Definitely not going to complain. May all of us receive at least 1 once in a lifetime box in 2016!! All the best...Brad

The "Christmas silver" was always late getting to boxes in my area. I never noticed a difference in December. But in January, my skunk rate would drop from 75%+ down to a mere 50% or so. In February that would drop to ~25%. March was always my best month, by far.

Yep, same here. The time frame starting at the end of February, all of March, and ending sometime in the beginning of April is my hottest time of the year for silver. Especially dimes.
