All of my half dollar veins are tapped out! I still pick up whatever loose and CWRs that I can find. I am finding 3-4 40%ers a month.

My new goal is 2-3 dime boxes a day, 6 days a week. Hopefully I will find 15-20 silver dimes a week.

So far:
Sunday
Box #1 - 2 FDRs
Box #2 - 3 FDRs
Monday
Box #1 skunk
Box #2 1 FDR
Tuesday
Box #1 4 FDRs and 1x1968 Canadian (50% Ag)
Box #2 1 FDR
Box #3 1 Merc (1944)
Wed
Box #1 skunk
Box #2 skunk
Thurs
Box #1 shunk
Box #2 2 FDRs
Box #3 shunk

Totals: 14 US silver dimes and one 50% Canadian dime

I am not retired, I would say closer to a workaholic. I work 6 days a week, about 60-70 hrs a week.
I usually have $500-$1000 to work with, but I dump a lot.

The key is; I live in densely populated area. I drive by dozens of banks every day, just going from house to job and back home.
I stop at a bank in the am to dump coins in a coin counter on the way to work. Then after work on the way home I pick up at a couple of banks, no big deal.
I search the coins at night with the kids in front of the TV.
