1/9 - 1/14 **115 Keepers** My week in review

[Bigheed]

I have been uninspired to post the daily finds lately for obvious reasons. Anyways it was a good week overall, it started out ok Monday, then a phenomenal on Tuesday & Wednesday. However once Thursday rolled into town it was all downhill, but at least there were a few keepers on the tailend. Tues/Wed accounted for 81/115 of the keepers!

So without further ado, here is the short version, read on for the daily details if it please you!

Total Searched
59 Boxes - $29,500 Halves
$855 dimes

Keepers

Awesome finds. you did great, keep up the hard work, volume sure pays off!


Sorry to bug you, I don't want to sound like one of those "pics" people, but would you mind posting a picture of the $500 box of dimes?

Here in the east, there is no such thing as a $500 box of dimes, they are all $250.

HH,

[Bigheed]

Added a funny pic I meant to add last night of the leaning tower of cardboard Pisa.

Sorry to bug you, I don't want to sound like one of those "pics" people, but would you mind posting a picture of the $500 box of dimes?

I added the tower of cardboard picture :-) Sorry it is already gone Bboy. BofA sells $500 dime boxes here, they are clear rolled Brinks, the $250 dime boxes are actually "half boxes"

May I be the first to buy you a beer.....and an a couple Aleeve.

Anytime you're in town! You can keep the aleve though

you get right outa town man those numbers are crazy!

Thanks AGBlex!

[GEOFF]

fantastic finds, keep on CRHing.

 

[SFBayArea]

Nice boxes.. way to power through the skunks.

I did 6 boxes myself this week and got some to make up for that really bad week. I was so not into CRHing that I procrastinated and did it over the weekend. Really good week for up here.

Box1: Skunk
Box2: 1 40%er
Box3: 1 40%er
Box4: 1 40%er
Box5: Skunk
Box6: 3 40%ers

For course, my numbers pale in comparison. LOL

 

[Gooseman]

Awesome volume man, keep it up and please continue to post.

The only boxes of dimes in my area that i can get ahold of without specially ordering are $250 brinks clear wrapped boxes of dimes, never saw a $500 dime box. Thanks for specifying.

 

[SilverFace]

nice going BH! Your volume is always impressive to say the least. And your dedication & perseverance to this hobby is sure a great inspiration.

Always like reading your posts and seeing those great pics too!

Keep at it & H$H!

Nothing special. They're square and open down the middle and the lettering is green and says "$500 dimes" on it. Similar to Brinks style brown halves boxes except that it opens down the middle and the lettering is green. The rolls are stacked sideways. What I don't like about them is that the box hold 11 rolls in a row not 10 like one would expect in the $250 boxes. Brinks lost their contract out here with BoA supposedly so I won't be seeing them in the future which is a bummer.

 

[sultan of silver]

WOW BH that is some volume and nice vein you got there. Was told this Friday at one of my dumps that they are going to charge me 10% from this time foward. So I guess I will not be dumping at that location any more. Congrats again!

[Bigheed]

SFbay keep up the volume as best you can....you'll hit the paydirt if you do....I got a feeling!

Sultan - Do you have an account with said bank? I don't think they can charge you unless you comply to it. I think the OCC has rules against excessive charges for that, it doesn't mean the bank won't try every scare tactic in the book to try and discourage you. They do have the right to cancel your account though.
