Do you wanna get phrostie with me?
Month three of detailed results and this month was not one to forget. I started off with a bang and ended with a bang (30 40s, 1 90, 76-S silver, 01-S, 87-D in $1500), although slightly less than my midway projected results but nonetheless I’m fully satisfied.
My 90% coin finds were stellar this month, beginning with three solid silver rolls june 2 (http://forum.treasurenet.com/index.php/topic,249179.0.html ). My boxes consistently produced 90s as well, with my best date stamped box being april 24, 2008. One evening I got 23 90s and 18 40s in 2 boxes, another evening I found this (http://forum.treasurenet.com/index.php/topic,251075.0.html).
Strategies changed this month too, I had been hesitant to drop Brinks as a supplier but with CWI producing and Brinks boxes being terrible I had to drop them. There is no consistency…plus my dumps ultimately go to Brinks. It’s been a decision I’ve mulled for awhile as it was hard to drop them after I found 106 in a box in March. But, for the love of silver, I sacrificed future Brinks boxes and replaced with more CWI.
Probably the best find all month was my daughter who was born on june 13. So far she doesn’t mind the sound of clinking coins while sleeping but when I crinkle up all the empty wrappers to throw them in the box she wiggles furiously while sleeping! All silver and no sleep make phrostie a happy man! Alright, here are the results already….
