That 80 oz's out of 2 hundred boxes or 1760 dollars. I've done 150 and only got around 30, I Hope I get an oz per box for the next 50 but I'll be glad for what I get. LP

That's the percent of my MWR halves that are silver. It sure seems like a painfully slow way to stack silver....

I guarantee thats not even close to the worst silver-per-box average out there.

But, I agree its a slow way to accumulate anything. Depending on how far you must travel to pick up and dump, and how you personally value your time, you very well might be better off just buying silver outright.

Not quite. He's saying 0.08% of his MWR's are silver. Another way of saying it is that he's getting 0.0008 silver per MWR coin. Each $500 box has 1,000 MWR coins, so roughly 0.8 silver per box. However, he doesn't specify whether silver means 90% or 40%.

Even if it's all 90%'s, at 0.3617 oz per, 200 boxes would net only 62.67 oz. If it were all 40%'s, 200 boxes would net 23.66 oz.

My guess is that his average is close to mine, at 0.25 oz per box, which would net 50 oz out of 200 boxes.

I'm sure you're right.

This year my boxes have been much more productive than last year.

So far this year I have had 54 boxes which gave up some silver, and 132 skunk boxes

311 silver coins from 186 boxes = 1.67 per box

Using the coinflation calculator I have 62.88 ounces of Ag

It breaks down to .338 ounces of Ag per box

That's really good! 3 of my last 4 boxes have been repacked dumps. That always sucks.
