I agree but I would have liked to at least maintain the 1 per box "quota" after the hot start which included a 28 box.
Just shows you how it can swing statistically. I'm killing it on the year but its been 3 weeks with just one measly 40.
After starting the year with (77) 40%ers and (4) 90s in 23 boxes 81/23, I'm now on a (1) 40%er in 27 boxes slump
Hopefully just posting this will turn the tide.
A friend if mine crh's, here are the results for boxes of halves only. This doesn't count some massive cwr or coin machine bag finds. 60/40 split loomis to brinks boxes.
Boxes searched 394.
40% 339 or .86 per box
90% 62 or .15 per box
Total avg is 1.01 per box
Opened this brinks box today, coin is in pretty good condition. This box only yielded one other hit, a 66. Second brinks box was better....a beat up walker, a 64, and 7 40%ers.
So after months of just doing silver and nickels, I got a box of Cents for my son to look through. Amazingly he found an 1867 indian head, which I think according to red book is bronze!!!
Anyway it has some hard green spots on it. Though the date is very clear. Is there a SAFE way to clean this???
I don't collect or search pennies, but I was returning halves in a coin counter today and the machine kicked out 62 pennies into the reject tray. They must have been lodged because they got spit out a few at a time.
There was one steely and one as old as 1909. Nice little surprise.
