This weeks 22 half boxes

[Big Fat Cheeseball]

This week I picked up 22 boxes. 9 Brinks and 13 generic boxes with olive wraps. For the longest time the generic boxes have been the ones producing most of the Ag for me. Now it seems that Brinks is the one producing. The last few weeks have produced very poor results for me from both types. I have been reading about a lot of skunks and I hope every ones finds pickup very soon for the holidays. This weeks finds were well above my average. More then average 90%ers. Out of the 22 boxes 13 were skunks. 7 Brinks boxes produced 95% of my finds this week. The other 2 Brinks boxes had a mix of Brinks wraps yellow string and sons wraps and were both skunks. Here is the breakdown.

Walkers-2
Bens-9
64-9
65-9
66-11
67-20
68-18
69-13
76 Ag proof -1

Total:
20-90%
72-40%

Hope every one has a good upcoming week!

Hey Mav! I see your last couple of weeks have been rough like mine have been. As you know, ya just have to work through them, believe me, I feel your pain! It's all part of the game. Going through so many skunks just plain sucks though. It will pick up for you soon I'm sure. Some one on your post said to change things up, try different banks or branches.... I not sure that is the answer. At least in my area it wouldn't make any difference. Some areas I'm sure are different and may make a difference. I believe in my area that 95% of the coin comes from the same packing facility regardless of the carrier. I think that most carriers use the same service. They just package them different for that carrier. I have dumped in to Brinks and got some of my dumps back from Garda. I also have watched Garda deliver my Brinks half boxes. I would say thats a pretty good indicator and something to thing about. If you wanted to get out of your area that still may not change a thing and will cost you more time and overhead. I think some packing facilities cover a pretty big area. It may be totally different in your area but if it were me I would try to rough it out for a little while like you said...things will pick back up. It always has...right? It just may be that there may be a slight downturn in banks dumping their bags into your source. Hang in their man.
Good Luck this coming week....stack em high!

Yup, I have recieved my own dump box back from Brinks when I had allready dumped it to Garda once before, no one has been able to answer this question of how it happened? I kinda figured there must be some central hub or something that the carries a re supplied from.

This is the answer I think. There was a week months ago where I scored 15 1976S silvers, half were in garda delivered boxes, the other half were in loomis delivered boxes. Cant be a coincidence.

Thanks Tim! Kind of strange...some areas are starting to flow good right now and some are very poor. I thinks it all about volume. The past couple of weeks have been very poor, a few of my pickup banks either forgot or didn't place an order for me. That dropped me down from 20+ boxes to about 10-11 those weeks and it made a huge difference in the amount I pulled. No where close to your numbers but is all I have time for. I figure well over half of the boxes I order will be skunks so the more you can do the more you will pull. It makes it very tough on people that can't up their volume.
