Out of 25 boxes of halves, I got 12 keepers. One was my first barber half - 1908D. One was my second modern silver proof - 2014S. The rest consisted of 1 90% and 9 40% kens. Bittersweet having two cool finds in another below average batch of boxes. Four weeks of mediocre finds really makes me want to go down to 12 boxes of halves and 26 boxes of dimes. What do you guys think?

I think you should do whatever you want. If you feel like changing it up, then by God change it up! There is no magic formula to finding silver. You just have to be lucky enough to be the one to buy that dream box from the bank.

I think I would like to have enough time to search that many coins in a week. Seriously though, search what you like, change it up now and then, variety is the spice right.

Exactly what I did last month. Dropped halves down and pounded the dimes. Went back to halves last week and netted 105 silver's for 10 boxes. Give the silver vein time to replenish

It is what it is. Your 26th box might surprise you with some full rolls of keepers! Good luck to you!!
