I haven't had too much cash this week (trying to get my cc's paid off) so I've been hunting on a low budget. But so far I've had a really great weak CRHing. Today I only had about $30 - $40 to work with but I managed to make the most of it - with the help of a lot of luck. I started off at the first bank dropping a $30 dump of nic's and cents from yesterday to get some cash. Then I hit a few more banks - no luck - then I got 2 rolls of halves from another bank - skunked on those - dumped those as well as another $10 in halves I had in my car at another bank across the street that had a coin machine - so that gave me $30 cash to go with the other $10 I still had - so now I had $40 to work with. Then 3 more banks and only 2 clad halves. But my next bank was a winner. They had 15 big "Liberty" dollar coins and $5.50 in halves the cute blond teller told me. I said "can I buy them?" She asked if I had an acct there and I said no (sometimes I tell tellers when they ask me this that I haven't decided yet) and she said "well, we're not really supposed to but I guess so" (something like that) - and I'm sure glad she did. The "Liberty" dollars were all (not surprisingly) dirty clad Ikes but I really scored on the $5.50 in halves: (3) 40% silver and (1) 1964 and I was a happy hunter. Then I dumped the Ike's @ one of my banks down the street 10 min's later to get more cash - no halves there. A little later I hit a WF and got a couple of more rolls of halves there with what cash I had left and the teller told me she had about $260 more so I said I'd probably be back soon for the rest. I checked those halves but got skunked so I dumped those coins at another bank down the street that had another coin machine and when I went to the teller to get my cash (and $10 in nic's) I asked if he had any half dollars and he said he had one so I said I'd take it thinking it's probably just a clad but .....it happens to be a 1958 Franklin that he said he just got 2 customers before me - I may even have walked past the guy as I was coming into the bank. That's what I would call lucky timing. The coin has sort of an unusual slightly dark patina - it might be proof but I'm not sure. And I'd post some pic's but I don't have a camera.
So for the day I managed to use my $40 to get almost $50 in silver - more than a 100% profit - not bad for one day. Even better than investing in tech stocks during the NASDAQ bubble or investing in real estate during the housing bubble. But pm prices are far from a bubble right now which makes CRHing even more worthwhile. And btw, my job requires me to travel around different parts of town throughout the week so I managed to hit all these banks without really driving much out of my line of travel and while putting in a full day's work. That's one of the thing's I like about my job - It's great for CRHing.
So so far I've had a great week CRHing on a small budget. Tues I posted that I scored about $11 (1 - 40% half and 2 silver nic's) just using $32.50 ($30 in nic's & $2.50 in halves) so I got about a 35% return on my money that day and just yesterday I scored a 1920 wheat cent, a partial date 1920 buffalo nickel and even my first magician's half using about the same budget.
I've certainly been having great luck CRHing on a small budget and as of tomorrow I am planning to start increasing my budget and allocating more money to CRHing and start buying some boxes again - I hope this doesn't change my luck. But I've been doing this long enough now that I now I've had a really good week. But I tend to have pretty good weeks like this just using a small budget.
Silver @ face is definitely for me. HH.
