Marking Coins (I did 6,000 today!) APRIL FOOLS

Ifyndit · Apr 1, 2009

I went through $3,000 of halves today and tried an experiment. I marked all of the halves with today's date. It took me 2 extra hours to do this but it will be interesting to see how many I get back and how long it takes.

I'll keep you posted!

Alright....it is time to come clean! For all of you who figured it out that I posted this on April 1st (April Fool's Day) Good Job!

This was a joke!

I know how many people get "fired up" over marking coins and I hadn't seen anything about this topic for a good 3 or 4 months so I thought it was time to stir the pot! Everyone can now relax, take a deep breath, count to ten, and go back to searching for silver and other goodies!

I just got a new drill press a few weeks ago, I think Im gonna start drilling all of my dumps. So keep aneye out cause hear they come!!!!!!
Or I also have a punch set, I could punch the month & year on every single dump coin so that way I will know if I get it again and I don't have to worry about the marker rubbing off!!!

ROFL

I hope nobody takes it personal, I'm just here to stoke the fire.

I'm still confuse at what slashing a marker across the coins does. We've got what we've nickmaned the red/blue/purple/green/etc... slasher. They keep changing the colors, but there are only so many colors.

I don't know what useful deductive logic you could use to extract info from that. Around here, coins could possibly be searched 2 to 3 times in a single week.
