Long story short: 56 40%, 5 90%, 18% copper, and a silver dime.

Long story:
Monday- 12 boxes of halfs and 8 boxes of pennies
Tuesday- 16 boxes of halfs and 4 boxes of pennies
Thursday- 18 boxes of halfs and 8 boxes of pennies
Friday- 18 boxes of halfs
Saturday- 4 boxes of halfs

Monday-Thursday turned up boxes just looking like this:

And giving up minimal silver. Huge bummer but I figure with such a large volume, things will turn around eventually. 5 of my penny boxes Monday were brand new :( I hate those brand new boxes. Funny thing was I was dumping them (In Bags) And the guy behind me started freaking out that I had so many new pennies, and ended up buying a $50 bag from me right there lol.

One of my Tuesdays boxes looked like this:

Got all excited and ended up with 1 Ben, and 1 40% for the whole day! lol. I've learned that enders mean nothing.

Thursdays pennies produced this little guy:

A '49 dime lol! Silver in the most unexpected places!

Had 6 suppppper wierd boxes, still trying to figure them out haha:

Today (Friday) I picked up a few boxes, all had weird writing on them:

Funny thing was I picked them up at a Chase. I noticed one was dated July 03 2013, and got super excited. Cracked it open, BOOM! 2 enders. Box ended up giving up 3 90% and 28 40%'s. This box saved my whole week lol. Some rolls had 4 silver in them! Like this ender roll:

Found this guy when dumping! Nice condition!

I've got about a CTU and a half I need to sell. I'll get 210 for it when I call my guy. I've also got 5 rolls of 40%'s to sell, I'll get 300-350 for those. So with that money I'm gonna buy a little portable counter. Probably a CS-2000, then no bank can turn me down for dumping muah ha ha. I tried dumping at a new branch this week, and the lady would not give me instant credit. It drove me CRAZY because when I signed up for the account I specifically said "I only want this account if I can get instant credit". Any ways, the teller said we would have to count out all the halfs if I wanted instant credit, what a joke. I'll bring my machine in and it'll take 10 minutes and I can get my instant credit lol. That's the plan any way. I'll see if I follow through in a few weeks. I've wanted a counter for some time now, but haven't had that extra push to buy it.

My pennies produced the following... 18 boxes, 5 new (not factored into %), 169 wheat, 26 dimes (1 silver), and 56 foreign. Giving up 63.3lbs of copper which came out to be 17.6% copper, which is pretty good down here in D12.


Not the 25oz I was looking to get over break, but pretty damn close. Think I got 17oz these last 2 weeks. Things will pick up If I can hold the volume up. Thanks for reading my post guys :D hope your weeks produced well also.

Do your half dollar rolls have a perfed edge on them to rip them open like that or are you using some sort of tool to do it? If a tool does it cut the coins?

Lol, I only did that to the 2 ender rolls, the other coins are smashed. I posted a video a while back, I think the thread was called something like, "How do you volume guys open rolls".

That is and always will be a secret :) (Don't take it the wrong way) haha, Lets just say it started at a few hundred with nickels and dimes and in the past 5-6 months I'm up to ^. Wonder where I'll be in another 6 months :D

TG for that 31 keeper box from Chase. Why can't they all be like that one right? Nice finding silver in a cent roll too.....silver does show up in the most unexpected places sometimes. :icon_scratch:

Like the Bender too!

Good luck with your 2014 goals and H$H!

were the 6 weird boxes not sealed when you got them, I have known some to be pre opened and randomly spot checked the rolls by tellers prior to handing them out, im thinking all those that looked rerolled were enders?! lol

Hey Omega, your 6 weird boxes are repacks, someone is searching them then turning them in in the boxes somewhere and ( some banks) don't unroll them, they just ship them back to the carrier like that, that is how you end up with a repack as I we call them, it sucks, but it happens. I could show you tons of them I've had in the past. HH, Maverick.

Ya, I've had some that some of the roll not opened, I assume that either the rolls were too damaged to put in the box and they just supplemented those with a few fresh rolls.

Here are a few that I've had in the past. You can see some of the rolls weren't opened, could be someone weighing the rolls too.

Some of mine were sealed in new boxes, some were taped back up and some were just left opened, I know you were probably asking Omega though. . HH, Maverick.

yeah I was but even with yours if they were sealed from factory they shouldnt have been tampered with then, obviously if they were taped or just plain left open thats understandable that it may have been gone through already...

How are you able to get 68 boxes of half dollars in one week? It has to be such a pain to haul all those coins back to dump banks.

Some times they will put the searched rolls they get into a new box for some reason, maybe the box was too damaged from who ever turned in to the bank.

I have never heard of that or seen that myself in over 14 years...a sealed box should be a sealed everything in the box as well! lol
