I am sorry to report that this will be the final update for this thread.

But I am also very happy to report that LJ will be picking up where I have left off.

She will be starting a NEW thread for all future 2008 silver CRH finds, and will be updating the spread sheet that has all of the updates for the year.

** PLEASE post all of your future CRH updates on the thread that LJ will originate and maintain. **

It has truly been a pleasure getting to know many of you. I count you as my friends. While I won't be dissapearing completely, I will be scaling back greatly as to the amount of time I can spend here. Good luck to all of you CRH'ers!

Silver Eagles / other US coins = 6.72 ounces of silver, 0.37% of total;
Non-United States coins:
Totals foreign coins: 1.008 ounces of silver, or 0.06 % of total.

Totals to date: 1813.06 troy ounces, or 151.088 troy pounds recovered. At the 5/15/08 silver value of $16.88 per ounce, this works out to a total value of $30,604.41 for silver recovered from coin rolls and pocket change.

The total weight of silver recovered (as reported on that thread only) for 2007 was 683.55 troy pounds; the total weight of silver recovered (as reported on that thread only) for 2006 was 243.61 troy pounds.

Happy hunting to all,
Bob

To prevent confusion with troy pounds vs. avoirdupois pounds (our normal everyday weight system in the US):
1 troy pound = 12 troy ounces; 1 troy ounce = 480 grains, for a total of 5760 grains per troy pound;
1 avoirdupois pound = 16 avdp. ounces; 1 avdp. ounce = 437.5 grains for a total of 7000 grains per avoirdupois pound.
(1 grain = 0.0648 grams)

I know it's late, but here are my silver finds for Februrary.

Halves
40% - 14

Lots of skunk boxes in February helped slow me down some, but I'm back at it again.

I know how much i have sold off this year, but not really shure what I have found.

Just Discoverd and joined t-net this week.

I can make an honest estimate on the halves. Mind you it's not been great but if I get skunked on my boxes I do cold calls till I get something. Hate to have a week go by without a score.

My avg. score is between 10 - 30 coins a week. Now that I see this post I will make a better effort to track my intake. So here are my totals fome 1/1/08 to 3/20/08

360-40% U.S. Halves
85-90% U.S. Halves (60/64's-10/W.L-15/Franklins)
2-90% quarters
9-90% Dimes (8/Rosies-1-Merc.)
1-40% Ike

Question. Does the Gov. or Smelters keep a list of what is getting melted down?

If there is a rush to turn in all of those silver coins for melt, won't the rarity & value of those remaining be driven up. I know when I sell off I usually hang on to the older and better condition coins but I have sold off more than 4000 40% and probably 600 90% Halves all 64's in the last 2 years.

Totals have been updated. Silver dimes seem to have been one of the hot items this month, with one poster reporting 81 dimes. WTG!
