Todays half box

[kb4iqm]

wasn't a total skunk, despite there being no silver. I search for MS-65+ specimens as well, and this box held mint state halves in spades. There were 34 MS65+ halves, one of which is a NIFC BU 2003P. One roll contained 7 and another contained 5, they seemed to be clustered like that. I greatly prefer the Garda and Loomis boxes to the Brinks boxes. Brinks delivers boxes full of damaged halves from their rolling process, much harder to find undamaged MS-65+ halves. I like this source bank so much that I opened an account there today.

One of the local banks that I use installed a new coin counting machine yesterday. The head teller told me that customers can dump for free, and I can buy bags of coins from the machine if I want. I had already opened an account there yesterday. Last thing I did today was to drop by there and dump $100 in halves and $70 in unsearched CWR quarters to "test" the new machine. I seeded one of the rolls with a junk grade 1946 Washington. No silver was spit out into the reject bucket! Looks like I'll be buying bags from that machine in the near future

I have yet to find a bank that has Garda and Loomis boxes. All I can find around here is Brink boxes. And right now all I have been getting is skunk boxes......Matt

I had to do a small road trip to find the banks that use Loomis and Garda. I opened acounts at those banks. It's a 76 mile round trip to go there, but so far it's been well worth it. Much better coin quality as compared to the Brinks halves boxes I've searched in the past week.

Don't give up Matt. There's still silver to be found here in the eastern US. A friend in California bought 10 boxes of halves this week and all 10 were skunks for silver. They all were filled with solid rolls of mint state 2001. I told him that he should sell them on eBay.
