The skunk streak has been broken!!!!!!!!!

[BuffaloBoy]

Hi all, my dime skunk streak has been broken with a 1964-d silver dime found in a $250 brinks box.

I quit after a 5 skunk box streak on dimes but decided to get one today. Out pops a 1964d silver, awesome! Thought dimes dried up, but I guess not... I do not do dimes often, but when I do, I usually do not get silver.

hh!

Dimes are usually good for me as long as I don't do Brinks. The Brinks dimes are far and few between.

The trick is volume. Try to do more boxes and you will find more silver lol.

Just power through the skunks and the silver will come.

I've gone through quite a bit of skunks. It gets discouraging, but I powered through them and today out of my 4 boxes I hit 2 boxes with 15 keepers each and 1 box with 1 keeper. The 4th was a skunk.

Keep at it and the pile will grow.

I like looking for dimes, it is easy to check an entire box in less than an hour.
My biggest problem is, I like to dump my clad coins at a bank with a coin counter. Out of 2500 dimes 5-10 will be counted as pennies. That cuts into the profit margin!

At least you've been reminded why u do it. My bribks average I one per box

There are several limiting factors that threaten our "income steam" of silver.
One is supply.
Another is ease of disposal.
One is volume of coins checked.
The last is time.

This is assuming that the coincidence of finding silver is completely random (which I realize is not the case sometimes, but we have little control over that factor, so I choose to ignore it.)

The factor that is the "bottleneck" is the one we have to work on.
