Seeing that there have been people asking us to not only post good scores I've decided to post my running totals starting last week.

Starting fresh with no good scores, here is my take starting after my last good score of 41-40%ers.

The boxes are either NF String from CWI or they are Brinks.

Halves:

Box 1 - skunk
Box 2 - 2-40%
Box 3 - skunk
Box 4 - skunk
Box 5 - 1-40%
Box 6 - skunk
Box 7 - skunk
Random stop - $260 loose halves in a bag- 1 Franklin, 1-64, 4-40%
Box 8 - skunk
Random stop - $180 CWR- someones dump. All rolls had a check mark and were skunk.
Box 9 - skunk
Box 10 - 2-40%
Box 11 - skunk
Box 12 - 1-40%er and a brand new canvas bag.
Box 13 - Skunk
Random stop - $14.50 of skunk
Random stop - $30 CWR- 6-1964s, 1 Franklin, 1-1899 Barber Half (My first ever Barber)
Random stop (SCORE!) - $50 CWR- Roll 1=4-40%ers & 1-90%er, Roll 2=3-40%ers Roll 3=2-40%ers, Roll 4=10-40%ers, Roll 5=9-40%ers. (29 Total keepers. 28-40%ers and 1-90%ers)
Random stop - $20 CWR - 2 40%ers, 3 90%ers
Box 14 - 3 40%ers and 1 90%er
Box 15 - 4-40%ers and 3 90%ers and a 2002 S clad
Random stops (10 banks) - 1 usmint roll each 2003 p and d halves, 6 clad ikes, 1 susan b and 1 40%er that was the only half in the bank. Most banks didn't have any halves at all. Only 4 banks of the 10 had any halves.
Random stop - $165.00 CWR of skunk
Box 16 - skunk
Random stop (asked at the supermarket bank) - $7 in loose halves = 1 90%er
Random stop - $28 CWR of skunk, but they did have 7 susan bs.
Box 17 - skunk
Random stop - $18 CWR of skunk for silver, but got a 1987 P AND a 1987 D
Box 18 - skunk
Box 19 - 2-40%
Road trip to 12 banks an hour away - about $13 in loose halves all skunk and $180 of someone's dump tucked back in the original wrappers and put back in the box. LAME! They did have 12 susan bs though.

Road trip - 80 miles and about 30 or so banks produce 8 40%ers from 6 or so hundred in loose and CWRs. The best score was a bank that had $2 in halves that were all silver.
Road Trip - 9 banks give up 4 40%ers and 2 silver quarters.
Small 8 bank road trip today gives up 5 40%ers and 13 clad Ikes. Also scored a $1000 peso coin and a Susan B in the same roll.
$200 string rolls = Skunk
My BEST score to date. $3 = 3 - 1 oz. SILVER EAGLES!

I would be happy with your finds. I went thur 22 boxes with only finding 1 40%er until I got a decent box where I scored 6 silver.......Matt
 

Oh I'm happy. I know how this game goes so I appreciate any silver that I find.

It's just really REALLY nice to find lots in a box. :thumbsup:
 

Starting to hate these new dated boxes. The finds were a LOT better before these new boxes.

Got my first non dated box in 3 weeks and it had 4 silvers.

It also had about 200 halves dated 1990 p that looked like they were just minted today, 1 obama painted half and a 1986 p that looks like it's silver, but doesn't pass the drop test. There is no clad ring at all anywhere around the coin.
 

(Box 15)

Second non dated box turned up 4-40% and 3-90% with a 1942-D walker ender and a 1964 ender.

Happy day...
 

Such a nice surprise to see when you open a box

15 boxes in 1 week, did I read that right? Didn't see a jaw drop smiley so this will have to suffice :icon_farao:

How many banks did you get those from and how long did it take to go through them?

I've got a lot to learn about this hobby!

Congrats on the Barber by the way!
 

Nice! especially on dime box 4!

No no this isn't from 1 week lol. This is all starting from the last week in April.

I do 2-4 boxes of halves a week and I just started adding a box of dimes. I also take a day or two doing random stops during the week.

I have 1 pick up bank for my boxes of halves and dimes, but I also pick up a box of dimes at some of the random stops if I get there and there is no time to get to any other banks to look for halves.

I had 2 banks and would have them both order 2 boxes a week, but 1 bank wanted to start charging a fee so I dropped them. I'm about to switch one of my old dump banks as a pick up bank seeing that I haven't dumped there in over a month.

Dime Box #4 was a nice surprise for sure. I love seeing more than 1 keeper in a box.
 

Lol, I must have misread the starting last week bit.

Anyways thanks for sharing and happy hunting!
 

Another Barber found today. This time a dime from Dime box 7

Found a new pick up bank yesterday while looking for halves. They had 2 boxes in stock(box 18 and 19) and the head teller told me that she orders 2 boxes a week. I asked if I could make them a regular stop and she said "no problem".

Now to just find out what day the coins come in and how many I can get her to order. Hopefully I can get her to order me enough to do 1-2 a day.
 

Clipped dime

I got my first magician's coin yesterday from a box, but didn't know until I was dumping.

I couldn't for the life of me figure out why the coin machine would not take this coin until my girl picked it up and popped it open by mistake.

I laughed my ass off.

Halves are rough right now.

Out of the last 14 boxes I've only got 2 40%ers. :'(

I only have 1 more box from the bank I've been dealing with for about 6 months.

I am changing jobs next week and won't be going to this bank any more. I'll have to get another bank in the area that does not deal with Brinks seeing that the CU that I dump at uses Brinks and my second supply bank uses Brinks.

Happy Hunting all.
