Well at least u found some silver in the nickel box. Our results r very similar with nickels so far this year. I've searched $580 and found 6 silver and 4 buffalo but I haven't found any nice condition buffalos yet this year like the ones you've been finding. I keep the off center strikes too and have some similar to the ones u found. I don't even know, are the ones like u found worth much or anything?

Good luck with your next boxes....hope u can end your half box skunk streak soon.

 

[StevePa]

Thanks for the encouragement. Hopefully this week is better.

Hey that coin is from me!! It was marked and released in December, 2012, so I am sure it has been through a handful of crh'ers before it got to ya. My 4 half dollar boxes were junk this week too, I sure hope the silver starts flowing soon for both of us!

 

[SilverFace]

Seems like a lot of people r finding BuffaloBoy coins lately lol. I think I found one marked Beth in dark ink my last box with some writing on the other side I couldn't read. But maybe I'll find a BuffaloBoy coin sometime soon too lol.

I had five hundred in dimes only found one silver dime ...first box of halves. ..nada! Not one dam silver..u guys have all the luck

 

[xnytxowlx]

Steve, you have been killing me this year. Ive been through over 80 boxes of halves this year and found a total of 10 silver halves. 40+ boxes of nickels yeilded nearly an entire roll of wars, another roll of buffs, and 1 v nickel.

Keep up the good work, my friend!

Seems like you're doing really good with the nickels so far this year. That's one of the good things about nickels - they help out a little when the halves aren't producing too well. So u search about a box of nickels a day in addition to all the halves u search? If u continue at that rate by the end of the year u could have about 8 - 9 rolls or so each of silver nickels and buffalos and maybe more V's. That's good hunting. Good luck to u the rest of the year!

I love searching nickels, they take up a lot of space and weigh a lot though! I just dumped 6 bags worth of nickels yesterday ($100 in each), but hey, it's worth it. haha :P

My coin was marked in November, 2013, I hope your boxes can improve, it's been dismal findings for me as well.

 

[SilverFace]

BuffaloBoy shows up again lol. Is that '76S the clad proof u found in box #35? And u had a nickel box that was 99% 2013P's and u still found 2 silver? That is amazing and very odd. Good thing u didn't just assume they were all 2013P's and just dump them without searching them lol.

And we're about dead even with our nickel results so far this year except I've searched $100 more than you but we have the same number of finds. Oh and congrats on ending your skunk streak too. Good luck the rest of the month.

[StevePa]

Thanks Silver. I honestly almost dumped the whole box of nickels it was that solid of 2013. There were literally only two Enders that were older and I decided to just search them. I was amazed myself that I pulled two silver nickels. It just shows that you never know.

Good luck to all.

Insane Steve! Congrats. I did 12 boxes of halves and 12 boxes of dimes for 1 1964 roosie! Haha keep up the good work! At least one of us keystone staters are getting something! Ive been through 100+ boxes of halves for a total of 10 silvers. Such a bad year!

 

[SilverFace]

Wow, u did have a great week Steve. Those were some great boxes u got with a nice assortment of keepers. And that '69S ender looks like a beauty! You've turned your skunk streak into a silver streak. Hope u can keep it going! Four rolls of 40%, half a roll of 90% including 3 Walkers and a Ben and 11 silver nickels in just seven weeks is great hunting!

 

[BuffaloBoy]

Those are some loaded boxes for sure, you deserve it, congratulations my friend!

 

[StevePa]

Thanks everyone. The lesson is that you never know what the next box will bring. Keep looking and there are some great boxes still out there.
