Drying up my area?

My last 6-dime boxes have been zero, and the last $1000 dime bag was only 4-Rosie's. I'm beginning to wonder if my area is drying up because of my STACKING. I highly doubt it since all 5-major coin processors are in the area. I'm sure that my little pickings could affect the system, but sooner or later it will happen to all of us.

I've had the worst 3 months since I started doing this 6 years ago. I think all the Ag went to Mav's area...

Just ride it out until the next influx of Christmas cash gets into the system. My two boxes this week gave up two 90% and fifteen 40%.

I thought the same thing about my area until last night. One box gave up
2- walkers and 3 -40%ers. Better than getting skunked.

I am facing the same thing. There is definitely something going on I have found 19 different markings in the boxes that I have searched here. I also received three bags from Wells Fargo and they were all searched at the facility. Every coin roll in the bag was broken open. I called Wells Fargo and they did not want to hear a complaint.

Complaining to higher ups about opened rolls is a good way to get shut down, IMO. If they don't like the complaining, they'll just stop selling non-business customers coins.

This time last year and the year before, I was closing in on 100 ozt. So far this year, I'm at about 35 ozt.

I feel like ever since TD and PNC banks got rid of their coin machines, the whole entire process is slower. Less new batches of coins coming in. Coins aren't moving around as much.

Something...

I was buying boxes in Tucson for a while, found some silver but not enough to make the drive worth it for me. But I did pick up a few Walkers and Bens but not many. Hope your hunting improves. There are tons of banks in and around that town. I would order 4 or 6 boxes every other week and then drive for a day hitting as many banks as I could before returning to Casa Grande.
