Hiya CRH'ers!
I have been lurking for a few weeks now. You people are having too much fun! I thought I would join in, and see if I can't get tossed out on my ear.
I used to crh cents as a kid. It was great fun, but I got away from it. I have always been one to watch for unusual coins in change.
Only recently have I began hunting by the box. I have done one box of dimes (skunk) and two half dollar boxes(one skunk, one 40%'er).
The only reason I bucked up and went with boxes is that I bought the banks in our small town in the eastern part of Oregon out of half dollar rolls. In those rolls were 28 90%'ers and 18 40's.
I am scheming as to how to do 2 boxes of each per week on $500. I am going to begin tomorrow by driving to a nearby town to dump the 1000 half dollar coins and pick up 2 boxes of dimes. I will have to get thorough those and dump by Wednesday for the cash to pick up the first box of halfs the bank is ordering. I then have to search those and recycle by Friday to get the other box. The other town is about 40 miles one way. Around here it is not bad, just steer to the freeway, set the cruise control and away we go.
I decided to make my life easier by selling my finds, along with some junk Morgan dollars I got cheap 10 years ago for enough to be able to pick up the 2 boxes of halfs at once, and forgetting about the dimes until I find more to sell.
Or I could do 4 boxes of each per week...
