Skunk probably, the nightmare would be if they were your markings.

The letter "T" must be very common throughout the US. I see it all the time down here in Texas.
I have still pulled silver from marked boxes. I am crossing my finger you do too!

Nothing like getting someone elses junk. Thats the worst I have ever seen. So did you find any AG in it?

That's certainly the worst I've seen, but I bet he catches some silver anyway.

Re: A skunk waiting to happen or a Nightmare Box
just yesterday i had a box with three rolls showing marked halves, for a total of 61 marked halves in the box. But, it wasn't to bad of a box; came out with 2-40%er's, a gold dipped half, & 1-NIFC. Speaking of this, who marks their halves by putting a small red, or black dot in Kennedy's ear?

Re: A skunk waiting to happen or a Nightmare Box
Lol that picture amazes folks? In march i was doing 9 to 12 boxes per week and at least half the boxes had every single coin marked. In fact a couple boxes had 2 to 4 different marks on each coin. Its like all the crhers in my area are leaving their scent on the coins regardless of who hit the fire hydrant first. I mean seriously, its already marked why the heck would someeone waste time marking it again.

Re: A skunk waiting to happen or a Nightmare Box
Now that im lookin at it again i find it odd that they are all marked . Ive never seen both sides marked and the chances of all of them being marked on 1 side and randomly showing up like that is nil.

Re: A skunk waiting to happen or a Nightmare Box
The picture I see only shows one side of 25 rolls, or 25% of the ends in the box, not both sides nor all the ends in the box.
I believe I get my Brinks boxes from the same supplier as ronbo in that our areas are not too far apart, and I see these same markings ALL THE TIME. Plus the numbers on them like the one roll has. I think the CRHer marks some of the coins twice, with different colors during the same hunt. I cannot explain it but I have seen it often.
That is why I am so against marking, maybe it is more than simply defacing the coins, but it sucks when you open the box and see this cause you know what you'll find.
Almost all the boxes I get that look like this are complete skunks. Sometimes one lone 40% that looks clad on the rim that marker-man missed. The good scores in my area are when you open the box and see a only a few or no marked coins showing, even though there are always some marked ones that appear once you start unrolling.

it seems like 80% of the coins I get have a black dot in Kennedy's ear, I don't think it would be too hard to find a box where all the heads up enders were marked

TOTAL SKUNK!
Out of a total of 100 ends 76 were marked. I usually only end search but went through each coin and there wre 772 marked. Found 2 shiny new 2009's that wre marked. even found a few of Mr brown markers stock. Does it mean it was 36 boxes since he marked this coin. theories?

Re: A skunk waiting to happen or a Nightmare Box
Alex Jones (on the net live now), is hyping the psychological objectives of our Gov which is it's primary weapon against US.
You wonder why well it is a psychological objective, think about it; our Gov does the same thing, uses psychological objectives to defeat US, make us give up become passive. The more marked coins one gets the more likely they will give up CRH'ing it makes them feel like its futile to resist or in CRH'ing to keep going ordering Boxes.JD-GA said:

Ruining two perfectly good NIFC halves that someone would have wanted to keep. That's precisely why children aren't allowed to play (unsupervised) with markers.

Ronbo,
I picked up a couple of Brinks boxes today, and one of them looked much like the photo you posted. All in that box were skunks and it seemed like all the coins had a red or black X, and some had numbers which I cannot figure out what they mean. The other box had some marked with just a red line but had a few 40%ers and 1 Kennedy 64 in it.
Since our areas are not too far apart, I figure we are getting our boxes from the same supplier.
Have you noticed that some of the boxes are taped shut with a short piece of tape closing the box, and sometimes the tape runs all across the bottom and sides? I know it sounds strange but sometimes when I get a few boxes there is often one taped one way and one the other, and the coins they have will differ greatly in quality of finds and/or markings. I only see them taped one way or the other, never anything in between.
Just wondering if you have noticed any difference in this yourself.
Jim
