Some heartless jerk...

Is marking coins in my area with white out on the rims. It wears off on the top, leaving it only in the reeding, and makes it stand out like silver. Very frustrating. Anyone else run into that?

Also, what is your success rate after finding repeating coin marks in a box? Does it change roll to roll, or do you generally find that the same coins stick together?

I see it in my area also, frustrating for sure. I do not believe there is any rhym or reason to marked coins. There can be silver among a near full roll of marked coins. Thanks and Good Luck. Dennis.

btw, what an awesome ratio of finding 40%s you have there!

I find the same marks in several of my boxes from other hunters, ussually red dots and green dots in the R of liberty and lots of other marks, but I still find silver. I don't find that the same coins allways stick together though, I pick up and dump into 2 different carriers and have still recieved a couple of my marked coins back.

Someone after my own heart painting rims, amusing!

I don't know what the white stuff on the edges happens to be, but I get it too.
(I think this because it seems to be a universal phemomenon.)

My guess is that it is not intentional at all, but something that the coins are exposed to....perhaps some white substance that reacts with the nickel (like verdigris on copper) that wears off the face, but accumulates in the reeding.

Sure is frustrating, whatever. Oh, well,

Keep on Rollin' !

I see ones like that all the time. The more you see them, the easier they are to spot ahead of time. When I first started that would really tick me off. Now I just toss them back in the pile and move on. It's the only thing you can do.

I get so many of those red R's that I don't know how he would have any time to CRH in between marking all of those coins. Alot of red and green ears or eyes too, there are so many marked coins anymore that I would be surprised to not see them in my boxes. It doesn't matter how many are marked or by who as far as the silver goes, I've had some of my best boxes just recently and they all had marked coins in them. I've seen a few recently with solid silver looking edges that I thought were maybe plated that I just tossed back.

I have been dropping rolls off here and there with "64," "65-69," and "50s" written on them.


I have seen a lot of the faked silver edges, they dont fool me any more at all. Once you get the look of silver everything else fades into the background.

 

[MrSchulz]

That is a D*ck move. I would flip if someone was doing that in my area.

 

[agme]

Guess I should be flippin about every box, it happens all the time here.

 

[baddbluff]

Sounds like good strategy to me... If u can trick someone, maybe they get frustrated = less competition = more silver for us = early retirement

 

[BuffaloBoy]

paint all them bicentennials silver edged... people would be hoarding them even more!
