How many consecutive skunk boxes?

Seagates · Apr 8, 2009

So I'm on a 8 skunk box run, and was wondering what is the most skunk boxes, (or dollar amount of halves) that you've ever had. I know some of you guys have had 50+ skunk runs I sure hope mine doesn't last that long !

Lately I have had many skunk boxes in a row. The boxes have
changed from plane wrap to brown with writing on them. These
boxes have nothing in then not even a holed coin which makes me
think maybe they are pulling out different weight coins. I know this
sounds like bull but I only get a skunk every three months or so and
now every box of this type is a skunk.

About 12 in a row this year, then I quit and concentrated on dimes. Now I'm finished with dimes, taking a break. FFD

I've probably done about 60 half boxes since Nov. 08. Just under half were skunk boxes. Of the boxes that had silver most were between 1-8 coins. Late last year and early this year I had about 4 boxes that produced bettween 18-24 coins. I"ve had four skunk boxes in a row.
I have ordered boxes from four different banks. These days they all produce bad boxes. So I don't buy them anymore. I stick to road trips.

Just did four brinks boxes today...skunkeroo. Didn't even have a NIFC. I did get a 40% from the tellers tray before I picked up the boxes...

I'm on skunk box number 3. I pick up two more boxes tomorrow. Hope their not number four and five.

I think I hit 18 in a row a little over a year ago. I was finding silver on road trips so I kept going with one box a week and started finding silver again. I haven't hit a dream box in the 3 years or so I've been searching halves on a regular basis.

it is bad for me, 6 or 7 weeks straight, feels like I am just spinning my wheels, takes all the fun out of it

Cherryman68 · Apr 8, 2009

So far none. Only one skunk box so far but I have only been doing boxes about a month and only do one a week.

PePe LePew now lives at my supply bank and I do believe he finally got that cat to put out 'cause there certainly is more than one skunk around there!

I have been fortunate in not having gone more than 2 skunk boxes in a row (for halves, I have yet to find a silver dime in any dime box so that streak is ongoing) but I save clad proofs and NIFCs so I would say some might consider a box with 3 NIFCs and no silver a skumk, I consider it not)

But I just started this a few months ago so the bad times could still be a-comin'

I have to double check with my spread sheet at the night job (that where I keep it) but I wanna say 25-30 halfs skunk boxes in a row for me last year. Under 15 is nothing - just ride it out, but Shake-N-Bake is the Skunk Box King!!!!!

GMan00001 · Apr 9, 2009

I don't remember ever being skunked for more than 1 box in a row on halves. I might have been, but even then it couldn't be more than 2 or 3.

Seagates · Apr 9, 2009

Well hit 9th and 10th Silver skunk boxes today. I did find a neat little side treasure my first magicians coin.

jrf30 · Apr 9, 2009

48 in a row. And then a box with ONE in it, and then another 9 skunks. SO 1 silver in 58 boxes.

But silver about every 3 rolls on the loose stuff. INcluding today. I got $5 from a bank, and it had one 1964. :-)

But I quit boxes. I'm at 96% skunks since the start.
