Boxes 1-47 had nothing. That is right $23,500 of skunks. Well box 48 broke the dry spell with two 67's and one 64 Kennedy!!! Thanks for looking.
Box 49 wasnt bad either.

Glad the drought broke for you. That was a rough streak number. How many boxes do you order a week? Just wondering how many weeks worth of searching that is. HH

I'm in Cincy. Seems like a lot of Ohio is under some pretty skunky conditions.

Hope that's a good sign for you after taking a break. Funny I took a break for a month and have an order coming in this week. Hopefully as you get your volume back up your finds increase. HH

I don't think I will get back up to 4 a week. I can only make it to my dump bank once a week and have a $1000 budget set aside for hunting. The limiting factor here is that the bank closes at 4pm all week accept Friday (6pm) and Saturday the head teller that has the room for the bags of halves is not there. I can't seem to get boxes of dimes anywhere lately so been doing CRW dimes and those have been dry since 2012. I avg. about 800-1k of those a week.

I feel your pain OtraVez. Those of us that have to work while banks are open will probably not get to do very high volume. Your streak is worse than mine. I had a $15,000 span where I only found 2 40%'s. At one box a week, that was more than 1/2 a year of effort for about $8 in finds. (-: It is all about the fun of the hunt though.
