Totally unexpected I assure you, my average is about 1/3 of that. That one box was a blast to open.

I think any 20oz week or even something close for the most part is unexpected Always a blast and always welcome. The only thing over 20 I wont kick out of bed

Congrats on some great boxes! Now the bad part. It's not a dream box unless there are at least 100 keepers.

You must be in a great area.. you must be the only searcher in your area so you get all the finds. Congrats

Haha, I knew that was coming. In my locale 50+ is a dream box

That's the thing, im not. I just ran into another CRHer on Friday. I suspect myself and one other do any sort of volume though.

Was that other guy ordering boxes like you? Doubt your bank would be taking his orders if he's doing as much as you are. There's not enough space in the vault if someone else wanted to get them too. Must be an untapped market.
What is odd is that you haven't gotten your dumps back yet since you're ordering from your dump bank too.
Perhaps you could mark a few so that you will know when you get yours back. Just a thought. Weird process.

Awesome finds! Congrats! I thought a dream box though was 100+ I know it used to be but now a days 50+ is amaizing.

Some really great boxes Nam - esp from bank 4 - too bad you couldn't get more from that bank. And a lot of silver too!

I think if 100 keepers or more used to be considered a dream box that it would be fair and reasonable to consider 50 or more keepers a dream box today - now that silver prices have more or less doubled and only going higher in the long term. That's one of the great things about this hobby - the pickens' may get a little slimmer but the rising silver prices continues to increase the value of our silver finds.

H$H!

Indeed, that is strange. I have been marking some here and there and have not seen any come back. Perhaps I will soon, I dont know, maybe im in the nexus lol. My original thought was to get deep into bank 1 and 3 supply, but I don't seem to be getting anywhere. I think the supply chain/coin pool is nothing like we think it is, at least here on the left coast.

BTW bank 4 is an isolated incident consistent with my theory of how the coin pool works here. I have some boxes on order from this bank, it will be interesting to see how those boxes turn out.
