I've been consistently CRHing the nickels for about 5 years now--found lotsa silver. I've averaged a silver AT LEAST every other box. However, recently, a cold streak had lasted for over 2 months!...about a 10 box cold streak. [THE COLD STREAK ENDED WITH A 1943D--15 million mintage--A NICE FIND--See pics]. Previous to that, my longest cold streak had been 4 boxes(happened twice). I strongly suspect Loomis has reprogrammed their machines up in Phoenix to filter the nickel silver. And the nickel I found the other day came from a "straggler" box which had been sitting for a while(I rarely go to the bank where I picked up the box). I hope I'm wrong, but I have my suspicions. The same thing happened with dimes and quarters about 4 years ago when the silver dried up there after I'd consistently found silver about every other box. I NO LONGER LOOK FOR SILVER IN BOXES.
Been through about 250 boxes of nickels in 4 years and filtered a lot of silver. It was fun while it lasted. Loomis in Phoenix is killing the hobby for Arizona. Now, I'm(and other hobbyists) relegated to CR rolls. I hope I'm wrong about this so I still leave that as a possibility. Is this happening anywhere else in the country? 7up2000.
