Guys, I TOLD you that not only will it happen, but that the first machine is IN PLACE in Phoenix. And it changed the game immediately. As for skunk streaks? I am at 91 and counting. I don't order boxes any more, but when I go to banks for any other coins (I search most) I always ask for ALL halves. The CWR still produce okay. But he MWR are zero for the limit. I went to a few branches two weeks ago and picked up three boxes that someone else had left, all in the same area. I took them so they know i TAKE the halves. ALL of them. Of course, all three were skunks, and as I said, I am up to 91.
And i have TALKED to someone about the machine. It is a new machine, they use it only on halves and quarters, and they will put comparators on the other machines as they replace them or retool them. Not right now. But the new machine DOES have one, and it is working WELL.
I have 142 silver halves this year, and NONE from a box. So I'm not getting nothing. But I'm getting nothing from BOXES. SOmeone said that you won't believe it until you see 100 skunks in a row... I may be your man. :-( But my source, who worked inside, not a delivery guy, said Phoenix was the FIRST to get it.
I know I have been laughed at on this forum for saying it, but I still think it is right, it is accrurate, and it is happening. Not only did my silvers go to zero, but in the last 91 boxes I have had ZERO mexican coins, zero half-balboas and zero other bad things. I used to get a half balboa about one every 8 - 9 boxes. No more. they are rejected by thye comparator, just like other foriegn coins and just like the silver halves.
It is happening. NOT nationwide (yet and probably not for a few years) but it is HERE already, and coming to you too. I don't need the reply posts of "he is lying to you" or "it's not happening" because I've spoken to someone who worked the machine, and he is my friend and honest. It IS happening. I wish all the rest of you the BEST luck and success in your areas until they are installed there too. I rejoice with your finds. But when these machines come, this board is going to get empty FAST.
long live copper pennies! LOL
