OK, so I have searched coin rolls off and on for a few years, pretty much by just asking the tellers for halfs when I go in to do my usual banking, occassionally was finding a silver or so if they happen to have any 1/2's most of the time they don't anymore...at one point I even started ordering a few boxes of 1/2's from a couple banks - however this all resulted in ALL SKUNKS- never got anything from a box.. I used to find a silver seldom in hand rolled coins, now I NEVER EVER do... over and over again IF I get some 1/2's theres no silver at all... once I ordered dimes and quarters boxes thinking there just had to be something in it- NOTHING after all that work - ALL SKUNKS...... I know its meant to be a fun hobby, but seriously its running dry, theres nothing left to find....... I found this site last week, its pretty interesting and i enjoyed reading it but I read about your finds over and over again, and I wonder HOW CAN IT BE?? SERIOUSLY
Are you really finding stuff or is it made up to keep the dream and hopes going? I have yet to ever find a walker or ben.... Because its dry over here, there is nothing.....Anyone in W.A.? thats where I am and I cant find anything... except about 15-20% copper in pennies, at least that is still there...
Truthfully I get a little embarassed to ask for the rolls...... " HI, do you have any Eisenhowers dollar coins?" ... "NO" .......... " Well, Do you have any 1/2 dollars? " ....... "NO" .... " Oh... hmm.. well do you have........." I get embarrassed asking...... and even more when I ask for full BOXES of anything... I get the weird look followed by " What do you need all those coins for? ".... "Uhhh....... Ummm.....uhhhhh..... "My husband asked me to get them!?!?"
I was encouraged by the site, so today i went hunting, ALL DAY about 15 banks hit, ALL said no to the eisenhowers, but I got about $250 in halfs all together scattered throughout the banks, i can report I found ONE lonely silver, only a 40%.. AMAZING tho! ONE - and it only took all day ... !!!! ... this is the 1st silver in months but i spent all day doing it... I get at least a handful of 1/2's weekly from a few banks and its always NOTHING anymore... Please any tips? Is there something I am doing wrong? You think its my area? Any tips on increasing the chances? I dont know how you guys are doing it.. i feel like those days are long gone and over... dry... dry..dry...Thanks!
