Killer score!!!! WTG!!!!
 

@SFBayArea - I totally get your frustration. Before that box in the last 2 months my best box had 5 keepers. Usually my remedy to this problem is to get more boxes and keep some of the clad in a cash savings at home. My idea is that it creates inventory turnover. Just the luck of the draw and location, although I would imagine that being in a place so heavily populated is a disadvantage.

I think I need to pull out some from my stash and post up pics of them and say I got it from a box.. so-called my one and only dream box so that scores of lurkers in my area try to buy up boxes only to find out that they are all new 2001-D's. LOL

I think I will do that when I'm on a skunk streak so fools buy up the skunks boxes for me. ;D

Questions:

1) Are you insinuating that is what I did? If yes, what gives you that idea?
2) If not, what does your post have to do with this thread?

I guess a third option is that I don't get your humor. :icon_thumleft:

Don't worry about it.. I believe you.. out here on the westcoast, we've been getting nothing but new coins due to all the new CRHers. It frustrates me especially since I've been doing this for so long. I feel like my hobby has been hijacked and gone out of control to a point where finds are meager and we just get new coins to fill the void due to all those newbies trying this hobby.

My last few boxes that I ordered a couple weeks ago said there was "88 boxes" written on the box. I'm sure this is from an inventory check. However when I order a week later, they had no boxes in their vault and I had to go empty for that week. This meant to me that somehow, 88 boxes were used up in 1.5 weeks time in my area. WOW.. I'm guessing this is all due to CRHers. No one else would have any reason for ordering halves.

It has nothing to do with your thread.. I'm just frustrated in terms where things have gone out here. I would like to find new ways to discourage these new CRHers to get them to stop. Your thread made me think of it. I could do this to get all these new CRHers to order while there is a skunk streak going on in my area so they start ordering and end up with skunks. Although, it's a rotten thing to do and I've only THOUGHT of it and have no intentions of doing it. I like to put that into the minds of these newbies. Hey, just like the old prospecting days for gold, it's every man for himself and people won't like newcomers on their turf.

I just wish that silver was back at $20/oz and finds were more plentifull. Hell, I get keepers, you get keepers, we all get keepers, no big deal. We'll all happy. Now it's gotten cut-throat out there. Every bank I go to, tellers mention about people asking for halves. It's ridiculous. I hate doing it but everytime I ask a place whether they have halves and they say "no".. I dig out a roll or two of dumps in old paper from my back pocket and give it to them. Hopefully, they will discourage these newbies.
SFBay, you should try out some dimes. They aren't dried out yet around here.

Actually I just found a bank that has Citizens boxes with date stamps dated mid to late 2008, not that early, but definitely better than boxes now.

I can only get one once per week because it's a tiny bank but it's not too bad.

No coin newer than 2008.

I've been hitting the dimes when I get skunked in halves. I do the clear wrapped ones so it doesn't take too long to search. I did a $250 box today and was skunked. Later picked up $500 from a different bank and got a 1964-D & 1953-D. It's still tough.. a lot of work for two keepers. To this date, I've never got a dime dream box.. the most I've found in dime boxes is 6. I can't imagine doing dimes in paper wrappers but if you get more keepers, my hat's off to you.
