I started CRH mid November 2015 and recently decided to sign up for the site, after lurking around for the past couple months.
I've had moderate success searching thru customer rolls exclusively, finding a hand full of 90% Kennedys, around 150 40%ers, but zero WLs or Bens.
Until this week...
I opened a Wells Fargo account for the sole purpose of purchasing sealed boxes, and ordered 8 boxes out the gates.
Out of the 7 boxes that remained sealed at the time of pick up (Wednesday), 5 contained zero silver.
In one of the boxes I came across my first WL followed by no additional silver, and immediately took a picture...
The second box contained a second WL, two 64 Kennedys, and five 40s including a 70 S.
So far, not a bad start to the week...
Friday while visiting a friend in Winston Salem, NC, I decided to do some CRH to pass the time.
Purchased a sealed box from a local bank, and found nothing so I found my preferred dumping bank and dropped the coins into their machine.
After $90 the bag was filled, so one of the tellers kindly came to exchange the bags for me...and that's when I heard it.
The unmistakable sound of a silver filled coin bag...
Thankfully the teller was familiar with the hobby of CRH, and after speaking with her manager I was able to purchase the bag at it's $1000 face value.
My hands were literally shaking from the excitement...
I've run into this situation a couple of times, but no one would ever let me purchase their bags from them.
I'm glad this time was different because i've never seen a bag so packed full of silver...it was rare to grab a handful without at least one piece in it.
Totals:
WL = 2
Bens = 9
64 Kens = 13
Ken Clad = 239
Here's hoping for more bags in the future!
Pictures attached...hope you guys enjoy.
