Fineally got my last friday boxes

[cyberdan]

I usually pick up my two weekly boxes on Friday but couldn't until Monday. I had to wait till last night (Tuesday) to open the first box.

When I opened the first roll I knew it would be a bad box I am still getting someones rejects. Every coin in the roll was marked with at least 7 thin lines around the edge. Whoever marks this way really wastes time because the lines are in patterns (2 lines & then 1 line & then 3 lines or something like that) Or, the CRHer is a genius and he/she is coding them with a pattern that represents the date released back into the wild.

Well this went on with several rolls of marked coins and then I would get one that was not marked, then several marked. I knew it was going to be skunk box so I just wanted to get through it. On roll 36 I open it and what do I see? Right in the middle of an unmarked roll is one thin silver stripe, it was a 64 JFK, fineally the next roll had a proof in fair shape and then back to marked rolls.

Then when roll 50 came I opened it up just to finish the box and I see a lonely 40% er. So no skunk, just a smelly box.

Tonight I open and sort the other box. Brinks delivered them together so this may be a twin of the first. (hopefully not identical twins)

Keep plugging away dan. Like you said, at least it wasn't a skunk; as you got a 90%er, 40%er and a proof.

You can't win if you don't play.

Don't feel too bad Dan. My last couple of boxes had the same markings on the coins. Frustrating to say the least. I think I had about the same results as you for silver. I picked up a box today and went through the top layer...5 40%'ers so far and very few marked coins. This one was from B of A.

I found a box of halves to search today. It didnt have anything but a 2002 that I snatched up. WTG! Keep plugging away.

Well I went through my other box last night.

Complete SKUNK!

My first one ever. There was a 2006 in it but it was already scratched up and not worth keeping.

Funny thing, not one roll had all those thin black marks like the first box, but there were about 50-100 of my own marked coins mixed throughout the entire box.

hang on to the '06 regardless. It's low volumes will still warrant more than face for it.
