Well, I am done for the week. Not the best haul but not bad. One bank forgot to order me 2 boxes but they would have likely been skunks as that has been the case to date with them :D

CWR

1 CWR Dimes - Skunked
1 CW Quarters - Skunked
Box 1 Brinks - Skunked
Box 2 Brinks - 3/40% 1/90%
B0x 3 Brinks - Skunked
Box 4 Brinks - 7/40%
Box 5 Brinks - Skunked
Box 6 Brinks - Skunked
92 CW Dimes - 2 Rosies

Auction

1965 Canadian Half Proof for $0.55
1867 Italian 10 Centesimi for $0.55
1950 German 50 Phenning for $0.25 (took a shot to see if its silver or not, its copper/nickel)
1888 French Indo China 1 centim for $0.25 (I see one going online for $12 Euro)

I figured for the low prices I might as well grab some of the old coins, Might be able to flip them for a profit to the right buyer.

2.3603 oz found so far for March.

Will update again on the 4 box Tuesday and again on 8 box Wednesday.

So, I went to drop off $1000 in halves at a dump bank and the vault manager asked if I wanted some Dimes and Nickels. I ask how much and she says, we have 765 in dimes and 122 in nickels. I ended up taking them all.

The 765 in dimes netted me a single rosie.

The nickels netted me a 1936 Buffalo, a 83 Canadian Nickel and a 1988 error.

This last couple of weeks have been rather disappointing in the CRH Dept. I am falling way behind. I had an extra week added onto this month with the late searching and this slow spell is killing me.

Well, I was supposed to go fishing today but the wind called that off and was to delay it until tomorrow so I got my hunting in early.

Not a bad showing today, it got me farther ahead than I thought I would be after the last couple of weeks of horrible boxes.

Did find my first complete magicians coin, my birth year as well which was a very cool plus.

Also another 1970 D half, very dirty as well.

Box 1: 15/40% 3/90%
Box 2: 2/40% 1/90%
Box 3: 1/40%
Box 4: 5/40% 1/90% 1/F 1/W
Box 5: Skunked
Box 6: 4/40% 1/90%

I think I got into someones collection as many of the coins had the cleanest rims I have ever seen. I almost thought each one was a chrome plated.

Total in halves today was 27/40%, 6/90%, 1 Frank and 1 Walking '44 S, 6.8869 oz total today.

I might have more dimes and nickels to do tomorrow or Thursday so I am not quite done yet but I am pleased, this month has ended up well.

Well, I just audited myself. Found some of my numbers off. Likely fat fingering and such. Seems I also forgot to add things to my list of silver.

So I am now 9.9769 ahead for next month instead of 7.7479.

Seems I have 2 more mercs than I though I had.
I thought I had 5 more Franklin halves then I did.
I thought i have 1 more walking half than I did ( could have been the mistake of adding the Money Clip
I have 4 more 90% Kennedy halves than I thought I did.
I forgot to add my 90% Kennedy paper weight
I forgot to add my Alaska Silver Proof Quarter
I forgot to add a 2011 Canadian $20 canoe coin

Seems I found treasure right in my own safe :D Finding an extra couple ozt of silver is defiantly not a problem I mind having.

I need to pay better attention and also not to do match and add things to the list when tired. That is where most of my mistakes happen.
