Hey all! Just thought I'd make a post introducing myself to everyone. I'm the lurker who has been secretly judging you all for the past few months. Jk but I have been lurking here for quite some time! Anyways, found this forum through a google search on CRH. Before that I had gotten interested in CRH through various different sections of the website reddit (they've got a decent size coin community there... Weaselbrott runs a CRH sub but its kind of dead there these days). You guys have a great community here and it really is a good resource. I've picked up more than a few tips an tricks along the way myself but coming here definitely helps. It's also a big pick me up when you get a few skunk boxes and you can come here to see everyone else's scores. Lets you know it's still out there!
Whatever the case, on to the hunt! I really only actively hunt dimes. I'll do a few boxes a week. I think the most I ever got done was like 12 boxes? I generally don't bother asking for CWR because the tellers in the area will give you a blank. My success with dimes, given the posts I see here, are pretty good. When I first started I was riding high. It wasn't rare to hit 3 silvers a box. 5 a box was common. My record for one box was 7 silver US dimes and a silver Canadian. Recently that has dwindled. I'll search 2 boxes at a time and come up with 3 on average, usually less. Also hit numerous skunks in a row. It is what it is. I'm happy with my results. I've searched halves once and score 3x 40%ers out of 2 boxes. Also scores with a teller upon asking for halves... She handed me $11 in them and 7 were 40%. Other than that, I'm a dime guy although I may start hitting halves in the New Year. I'll also mention I do pennies every so often just to break the monotony and to "score" when t silver finds are crappy. Anyways, that's me! Look forward to contributing when I can
