All of my half dollar veins are tapped out! I still pick up whatever loose and CWRs that I can find. I am finding 3-4 40%ers a month.

My new goal is 2-3 dime boxes a day, 6 days a week. Hopefully I will find 15-20 silver dimes a week.

So far:
Sunday
Box #1 - 2 FDRs
Box #2 - 3 FDRs
Monday
Box #1 skunk
Box #2 1 FDR
Tuesday
Box #1 4 FDRs and 1x1968 Canadian (50% Ag)
Box #2 1 FDR
Box #3 1 Merc (1944)
Wed
Box #1 skunk
Box #2 skunk
Thurs
Box #1 shunk
Box #2 2 FDRs
Box #3 shunk

Totals: 14 US silver dimes and one 50% Canadian dime

Hay MI; from reading a majority of your postings over the past few months, it appears that a family of SKUNKS have moved in under your house. Best remedy to rid them out is to find a Mother Load of AG dimes. That would chase them away for a time. Good luck & HH.
Yeah, I've been getting straight skunk boxes for the last 2 weeks - all sparklers. I thought that the new dimes came out in April/May. Anyone else having this?

My skunk rate has risen, also I have haven't found more than 2 silver dimes per box sine Oct 15 (21 silvers in a box)
I have reduced my volume (busy with other things).
This year, more fun with nickels than anything else (1950Dx2, 1939D, 1939S, V nickelx3, buffs with dates x17, war nicksx42, KGV Canadian nickel, Canadian nickel bullion, higher grade early Jeffersons (>EF40,), etc

Do you search nickels or halves
1 dime per 2 boxes may not be worth it, you might to better with nickels or halves

I'm working on opening a account with a bank that orders half dollars. I've only searched boxes of dimes so far, did 10 rolls of quarters. Thinking about getting two boxes per pick up now..
