I just plowed through the last 2 of the first 6 boxes of 2014.
Box # 1 SKUNK
Box # 2 SKUNK
Box # 3 SKUNK
Box # 4 SKUNK
Box # 5 SKUNK
Finally the saving grace rescuing me from Skunksville.
Box # 6 one 1969.
Then I came across my tallies of some sporadic CRHing I used to do just 2-3 years ago.
24 boxes and only one skunk
1 box had 55 silvers including 2 Bens and 3 90% Kens.
Another box had 37 silvers including 4 Walkers, 3 Bens, and 5 90% Kens
Another had 31, another 27. Oh the glory of CRH of the years gone by...
I remember meeting a man in a bank who told me that he began CRHing just a few years before me and he amassed 80 rolls of solid Franklins.
I really am kicking myself for not doing more CRH when the returns were so good, and the value of silver was higher then too...
At that time I didn't have the resources I have now, which reminds me of the fable of the squirrel who, when his teeth were young and strong, had no acorns to eat, and by the time he amassed a collection, his teeth had grown too weak to chew them.
But I won't make this mistake again. Given the interest in CRHing, it's only a matter of time until silver halves become as rare as quarters. So as long as there is something there I will keep at it.
Wish me luck. And I wish you all the same.
