Today's 2 boxes 3/7/12

I was in the mood for a little variety today so hit 4 banks near my buy bank and picked up $120 in nickels and $180 in dimes (and $3.50 in halves - all clad) to go along with my 2 boxes of halves. I think from now on when that "variety" mood hits me, I will buy nothing but quarters, as my results can't be much worse. I haven't seen a silver dime (other than from under my detector) since February of last year. Nickels just don't do it for me...after ~$80 worth I was thinking, "Never again." Of course I would likely think differently if an occasional buffalo or "V" would show up. I think from now on its "sink or swim" with quarters. Dimes, for whatever reason, just do not produce at all here. I don't really enjoy searching nickels or cents. A few occasionally is fine, but I could never be a massive nickel or cent searcher...unless I had a Ryedale for the cents. Yep...next time, quarters! :icon_thumleft:

On a good note, both my half boxes had the "good" source code again this week. Hope that continues.

Nickels: skunk
Dimes: skunk
Half box 1: 7 40%, 1 90% (Ken)
Half box 2: 8 40%

Road trip (to a totally new area) in the works for Friday, weather permitting. Next week at the latest.

I wish. At worst I could skunk more quickly, plus I could do much more volume. Nearly all the banks here are very friendly. I could easily "swap" searched boxes all over town - whether I was an account holder or not.

My choices here are Loomis, Loomis, or Loomis. :laughing9:

Arkie...I feel the same way about nickels. I still enjoy doing dimes now and then as I can find a keeper here and there, but halves are still much more fun and productive. Great score on those two boxes of halves.

Eventually quarters may be the only way to go since no one ever searches them :dontknow:
