A small mini-coin battle won today.

Yes!!! I have a order teller completely on my side today. Some lady came in and asked them for halves. She wanted $50 worth and was turned down. The teller told her that the ones they have were for me since I ordered them. YES!!!

I've had a box I ordered be given away.. not this time

On the negative note.. the boxes don't look good as I weighed all of the rolls. No 90%ers.. meaning not so good boxes

The amount of new people CRHing is getting to me .. Guess it's similar to the old west days where people are gold prospecting in the area where you usually prospect.. Gotta fend them off somehow. If you're a veteran I understand and have a pass in my book.. sometimes new people don't know what they're doing and they do stuff like dumping where you order ruining it for the rest of us. I can see soon that the finds are going to dwindle down. New coin boxes show up half the time. My CWI boxes just seem to suck. People stop ordering boxes for a while!!!!

How can you tell by weight if you scored?

 

[SFBayArea]

usually rolls of 226.4 g or above have 90%ers.

What about rolls with 40s? Do you only weigh them or do you also at least edge check?

It depends on the box.. if I get a box with what looks to be a lot of keepers.. ie enders showing or multiple 90%ers found by weighing, I will open all of them. If no 90%ers and don't see any enders, I will open ones only 225.0 g or above.

Really strange that I have less competition in my town now, than I did three years ago....I have accounts at 5 diff banks and 2 CUs, I am the only one ordering anything, and I have never seen anyone asking for coin, or using the counter.

nice job! once my bank gave away a few hundred worth of halves i ordered...i even bring in treats for them and they still let that happen...i let them kindly know i was not happy with this, and the teller that did it was told by the head teller never to do it again, since i ordered them...i felt bad for the teller that got in a small bit of trouble, but she was usually a snob, and ever since then she has had way more respect for me...
keep it up and hh!
