average coins per box?

[jnb1994]

Just wondering how many keepers you guys get on average per box of whatever coins you go through. I went through 40 bucks of pennies and got 10 bucks of copper, 25%, and I went through 60 bucks of halves and got 2 40 and a 90

Sometimes None, sometimes hundreds. Honestly it varies from box to box.

 

[TimZim]

Most of the time? 3 to 4 halfs

Halfs. Either skunk or 1 to 14 and once in a coons age a dream box, but for now anything close to 14 (even better when 1 or more of them are Bens or WLs) is a dream box.

Dimes - Just over 1 per box
Halves - 1.7 per box - usually 40% ers and barely worth it, Good thing I think it's fun and I'm not in it for the $$$

Since June of 2011 I've done close to $1,000,000 in halves my long run average is ~ 1.5 to 2 per box.....I'll figure it out for the full 12 months of roll hunting at the end of may.

Short term theres no way to say, you need to do big volume, every day or almost everyday to have some kind of estimate. If you only do 2-4 boxes a week your data set is to small to make any predictions with decent accuracy in my opinion.

200 boxes/ month... thats impressive!

 

[BCD11]

Pennies - 25% to 28% copper.

Halves - 1 or 2 (mostly 40%'s) per box.

Quarters - zippo out of $3000.

 

[Bigheed]

I should add, i meant by the end of May it will be ~ $1,000,000 , original statement was a little misleading.

~167 boxes per month, done a couple 100k+ months, done some less also. I did a significant quantity of dimes as well until I quit doing them and upped my halves.

 

[skelly9131]

2.7 halves per box

 

[treeslayer]

1 or 2 halfs per box. Dimes 1 to 3 per box. HH

 

[SilverSharpie]

Out of 98 boxes ($49k) of halves over the course of the past 4 months, I have an overall average of 1.07 halves per box, with an average coin value of $6.72.

Out of those 98 boxes, 69 were skunks. The remaining 29 silver boxes had an average of 3.38 coins worth $22.73.

I envy you guys with 50% skunk rates. I've been dealing with a 70% skunk rate for halves for a while.

Ironically, my first 3 boxes of halves had a total of 27 silver halves, including 2 Ben Franklins and 2 Walkers. All in all the pull was worth almost $200. Talk about beginners luck.

On the bright side, I am currently on a 5 box silver streak, the longest silver streak I've had since I started searching.

I recently got into CRH (about 3 weeks now) and I just started getting boxes.

Pennies:

Box 1: 25 Wheat Cents (1917 was the earliest)
Box 2: 4 Wheat Cents

Nickels:

Box 1: 1 War Nickel ('43-P)

Halves:

Box 1: Skunk

I used to just get 10 or 20 rolls of Pennies, Nickels, and Dimes and I found 1 Silver Dime and 5 Wheat Pennies (probably one box of each total from all my trips). I also 'bought' 32 rolls of halves and in just two of those rolls I found 28 Kennedy 40%ers while the other 30 rolls were skunks. Not bad for just starting out. Though I haven't been CRH long, I can say that it is very hit and miss.

80 boxes of halves in 2012 have averaged 1.2 silvers per box, and the trend is downward. The last 46 boxes have given up 9 silvers, for an average of about 1 silver per 5 boxes.

Last week the bank forgot to order my 6 boxes. I was not disappointed.
