Great score from that box! It seems like the silver is picking up for a lot recently, so hopefully your silver streak will keep up. I couldn't imagine finding solid rolls of Walkers and Bens!
Tough week, Silverface. I'm watching closely to see if you reach your 100 oz. goal. I've been very fortunate so far in avoiding skunk streaks, but they are inevitable. Does it seem like there are lots of other CRHers in your area stealing your silver?
Skunk city, man. Isn't it crazy that you can sometimes find more silver in $2 loose than in $3000 in boxes? This hobby... Well you've still got plenty of time to hit your goal. Good luck!!
I sure hate to see your volume go down. I'm pulling for you to reach 100 oz. for the year. Like zero says, you could just re-roll using the machine rolls, which is what I do. Even though I'm in a larger city, there are few banks with free coin counters, and none that count halves. Do you have Bank of America in your area? Here at B of A I can put my coins in a bag and drop them off. Only problem is that they take the coins to a remote location to run them through their machines and it doesn't credit to your account for several days. I dump all my non-halves and my loose halves at B of A. I refuse to hand-roll anything but halves. The boxes of halves are so easy to re-roll, that I just re-roll them in the machine wrappers as I search them. It takes me about an hour to search and re-roll a box of halves this way. All the banks in my area, except B of A, will accept my hand re-rolled halves. I search $2,000 in halves each week using this method.The coin counters at my dump banks use the bins that hold several thousand dollars and don't require bags. Im sure gonna miss em but I know change is the name of the game lol. Yeah I've been re-rolling some lately which is what Im gonna have to get used to doing all the time now until I can figure something else out. At least halves are the easiest coins to re-roll. But even finding enough supply of half dollar wrappers to re-roll the halves may start to become a problem. Well, just time to adjust and make some changes.
