Yesterday was one of my worst days ever searching half dollars! I picked up 20 boxes of half dollars and only got 2 90% and 7 40%!

When I was at one of my regular pickup banks the teller told me that the Garda guy said some idiot was just going through the same coins because they just picked up a bunch of bags a customer brought in at one of their other stops. They said that those bags will be brought back and rewrapped right away and shipped back out. The Garda guy couldn't tell the teller what bank it was that he got the bags from but he said it was a new one on their route that just switched to Garda. He did say that he was delivering boxes of half dollars all over the place and that he thought it had to be the same person getting them at one bank and depositing them at another. I think it was a TD because someone posted a couple weeks ago that they just switched from Brinks in the area that I picked up these boxes.

Whoever this idiot is is killing Garda who used to be one of the best around here. I hope their numbers start to suck like they made mine!

If it really is just 1 person like that driver suspects I wish that fool would start dumping at Brinks instead! Their boxes already suck!

Sorry you are disappointed, but that's better than my average and by quite a bit. I've never even found a 90%.
 

I dump into several TD branches, who are all serviced by Garda.

One of my pick-up banks, I found out just recently, are also serviced by Garda.

I've also never found a 90%er.

I switched pick-up banks, stopped doing halves and started focusing on dimes again, and I am doing pretty good now.
 

i kinda think i know who it is. hmmmmm, maybe.

its not me. im a small old timer.

Whatch out, you'll get blacklisted from Hop Sing's. She named names!
 

So, why is this guy an idiot? Because he's searching coin like the rest of us?
 

Yeah, that silver vein up there is going to be dry real soon. NJ may have a larger supply of halves on hand than some states. Its getting bad for all of us. Your finds out of twenty boxes are about my average too. I hope it gets better.
 

TZ doesn't seem to be depleting anything, his averages have remained pretty high and constant. The OP here just happened to be caught in a recirculating stream of halves. Sometimes you get dumps, sometimes you don't, it's not an indicator of a whole area gone or going bad, you're just in the wrong current

The Bad news is that competition will happen to everybody sooner or later.
It will eventually end our hobby.
If you are left with anything at all, that is reason to be glad, since you can't do anything about it.

You've just got to find a new way to

Keep on Rollin' !
 

As Ric Flair used to say, "In order to be the man, WOOOOOOOO, you have to beat the man!"
 

Why are you blaming it all on TimZim???? sure he does contribute to a lot of dumping, but there are also SEVERAL other's in the NJ area that do high volume, not to mention those who don't post on tnet... think of it this way, for every member on tnet, there are probrably 5 others in the same general area.
 

forgot to mention that my half dollar boxes have been sucking lately too, 16 box skunk streak again... dimes have been solid 2012p from garda too.
 

I'm not blaming anyone. I believe the OP is the one laying blame.
 

Good point silverforbrains. Start dumping on garda and find a new pick up source.
 

Why pollute a good source (Garda) when you can easily pollute and already polluted source (Brinks)?
Problem solved!
 

I'm just trying to help. lol. Ok pollute brinks!
 

Told you, problem solved. I think that is what it was all about, no?
