well after a disappointing 4 skunk box run I finaly had a turn of events
First box had 21 40s in it and 1 90 ken
Next box was awsome! Coin after coin, including 6 GEM BU BENS! a circed ben, and 28 40s
heck yeah!
I took some pics of the half opened rolls, I wonder why so many are back to back???

I also did a box of dimes, I got 3 rosies and 1 merc and someone got me by 9 cents...the dirty dog shaved a penny of its sides so it was dime sized! A lot of work to make 9 cents but who knows, I wish it could talk more.

I also refined out some junk gold I had laying about, I got over 35 grams of fine! I took some pics of the gold precipitate before melting, hard to believe that stuff ends up being gold!

Took some pics, and also included one of me chopping up a Palladium bar for all those collectors out there :)

Nice load of 90's Dave. Think someone came in and bought a big load of our dumps and got that pallet down to some good stuff? Cause I had a very excellent box yesterday too with 235 40's, only one 90% but it was a Ben. I got two boxes to pick up this AM from a new Bank- I hope they're Fed boxes and not Brinks (don't know what armoured service they use). This bank only gets coin every other week so I had them order $2000, one for this week and one for next. But if Fed boxes I will have to dump and get the other grand very soon haha. Time to hit up the other CU branches for some more boxes too. Lets hope the good boxes continue. HH Mark
 
its been hit and miss, I have been getting some of my stuff back but some boxes are great, I have been dumping at different banks to get there coin machines full so they go back to the fed since not all banks will sell the bags. Some of these bags have taken years to fill up. Id recommend doing the same, also getting bags to fill up slowly by dumping halves in the local community, just the other day at office max this girl was like, did you spend a bunch of those last week?
yeah,
oh ok,
What did ya do with em?
oh we deposited them.

Cool, so for gas, office supplies, food restaurants etc. each place is gonna dump em and put em in the publics hands, the more they circulate the more the more the bags fill up and it ups the odds of getting the stuff in those bags back to the fed and getting those boxes back.

there will always be new additions into the system as collections get deposited.
Also asking many banks to place orders for boxes and then not picking them up for a while makes a nice stock pile. I like the idea of a road trip for dumping, Whos district should they go to?
 
Nice haul, and awesome pics! I love the palladium. :)
 
I love it!
Great pictures!
