Wow.. nice pic.. guessing you put 90%ers in tubes? That's what I do. Used to put them all in paper rolls and re-crimp the ends until I got some tubes. They look great.

Nice Haul. You're in a great area. Keep it up.

Anyone have any suggestion on a cheap place to get the tubes from?

I get them from a coin shop for $33 A box no tax. Better price by the box of 100

N8 we have a local coin guy and he sells them for .50 a tube. My son went to a coin show and brought them for .40 a tube. Hopefully you have a coin shop (dealer) close by that has them or if not amazon.com has them forgot the price though. Good luck!

My guy sells them for $33 per box. Hes in warren nj coin shop.

Hope you get another great week!

Awesome week Tim!! So thats what volume looks like

I hope next week is even better for you.

N8 we have a store called Hobby Lobby, 3.49 for 4 or 5 tubes. Sounds like the coin shops are a bit better priced.

Tim,

Amazing score and volume!!

How many hours a week/day do you put into this job/hobby? Include driving, searching, box recycling, and dumping. You search more in one week than we will in 5 months. Were guessing you must pick up 10 boxes at a time. If your married what does your wife think?

I see a balboa in the "funny money" Some balboas are silver. They follow the same pattern of dates as American halves mostly. However, 90% was only minted to 1962, and 40% started in 1966

Bigheed, I am just saying dumping 50 boxes of halves in a week or 2 is hard to get rid of at any bank without branches getting upset. I do not know how many boxes of halves you did in a week and dumped but the most I did was 19 and I spread them out to as many branches around me in 3 days so I don't upset my dump banks. I usually average 8 to 10 boxes a week.

I've never seen that many foreign coins in halves. I get the occasional foreign (mostly Canadian) in dimes but I rarely if ever see foreign in half boxes. When I do find foreign it is typically Panama, Mexico or Great Britain. Did all that funny come from the boxes or was a bag foreign heavy?

 

[SilverFace]

You found almost the exact same amount of 90% & 40% halves last week that I've found ytd - so far. I haven't quite searched 42 boxes yet but I get cwr's & loose halves too - when I can find 'em.

H$H!
