Loomis or Brinks

[Dozer D]

I've been getting skunked a lot lately. Which boxes should I avoid if possible of those suppliers who may or may not pull silver out of the system. My last few boxes came from LOOMIS, 2 skunks for silver, but yet the pennies yielded 14 wheats with 28% copper.

Which are better to use? Brinks,String & sons, Loomis, or.

Loomis, Brinks, and Garda are companies which move money around.
N F String & Son is a company which makes coin wrapping supplies.

So, with String in there, your question is sort of like asking which is better, Chevrolet or Pepsi.



As for which is better, don't tell anyone, but Brinks takes all the silver out of the hopper as they sort.

The reason that they call it hunting is because not all boxes of coin have silver in them, you have to hunt for the ones that do. If every box had silver it would be called Coin Roll Slaughtering. The thing is to be happy if you find anything at all, even one coin per box means you got lucky and found something. If every box had silver in it you would never get any because the line at the bank would go out the door and circle the globe with other people waiting ahead of you for theirs.

Penny boxes are almost always good because you do almost always find something in them.

Penman,

Chevy is much better than Pepsi (at least their trucks are... wouldn't buy many Chevy cars).

1:00 PM each Tuesday and Thursday all Loomis boxes will contain at least 5 silver coins.
12:15 PM each Wednesday all Brinks boxes will contain at least 2 silver coins
9:30 AM Every 2nd and 3rd Friday of the month all Garda boxes will contain at least 6 silver coins
Dunbar has not released their schedule yet.

You must make sure to be there at EXACTLY those times and those dates in order to get the boxes that contain silver. Good Luck!!!

It really doesn't matter which since they stopped minting silver coins in 1865.

The best company is the one that uses clear wraps for halves.. ask around.

If any of us knew where the largest pile of silver was, we wouldn't tell.

You should get as many coins as you can from as many sources as you can.
Then you will figure it out.
