Ramjet's 2011, part deaux
Well, let's try this again.
I mainly hunt halves, and Ryedale cents. I did search a half-dozen boxes of dimes for a big fat skunk. I think I did a box of nicks, and scored one lonely war nickel.
My prey consists mainly of 1K bags of halves, that I incrementally increased from one to two per week, as swing allowed. As previously mentioned, I also search 2 boxes of cents per week, as well. Part of the year I did more, but the other supply bank threw the "F" word at me, and paying $31.50 for $25 of cents didn't make, well, much sense.
I guesstimate I hunted 70K in halves (I don't recall at what point during the year I transitioned from $1000-1500-2000), but fortunately kept a spreadsheet of cent production, and numbered the boxes.
Thanks for reading this long and boring post.
Halves:
Walkers 2
Bens 8
Kens 17
40% 466 (302 in one bag in October)
I also scored a '92 Olympic, an '03 Wright Brothers, and a Unc and Proof Statue of Liberty Commoratives (both in same bag). Additionally, I found four '87's as well as 62 assorted Proofs. I edge check, so finding the non silver coins are mostly a fluke, except for the proofs, which REALLY stand out.
As far as cents:
Boxes searched 126
Copper 73176
Wheat 988
Canadian 399
Overall, about 23.5% copper.
Thanks for reading, and to all of you heavy hitters (CnC, db, et. al.) keep posting; it encourages us little fish.
Hoping for a Happy Silver, er New year to all!
