CaptainFwiffo's running totals
Inspired by SeaninNH, I've decided to have a post just for keeping track of the totals from all my CRH activities. I've not been doing this for long, so the record represents all the searching I've done. I'll only list the significant stuff here, though I might consider other coins keepers (for instance, I keep all pre-1960 nickels unless they're completely trashed, coins with naked-eye die cracks and other minor errors, foreign coins, coins in particularly nice condition, etc. but none of these are really that valuable).
I'll also calculate the ratio of keepers to coins searched in a couple different formats. I'll list troy oz of silver per box, as well as number of keepers per box. For calculation purposes, I'll define keepers as anything silver, any key dates, semi-key dates, NIFC, valuable varieties or errors, proofs, coins in exception condition and old designs (wheats and Indian head pennies, Buffalo nickels, etc.)
