Where have all the 90% gone?

[n8dagr8345]

So this month has been great for me. I have set a new record for total silver halves found. Set a new record for boxes in a month. Set a new record for average silver/box.... However, with all that great news I only found about a dozen 90% coins... 2 months ago I found about 8 times that amount of 90% halves.

I want to see a Walker in a box, or that ugly franklin coin!

I hear Garda is pulling them now........

 

[namster]

Garda is pulling all 1962 Bens and 1934 walkers. Loomis pulls ALL 1977 error silver planchet strikes.

I pull about 20 90%/month give or take, around 7-1 40-90. I dont really mind the ratio 40-90, silver is silver.

Ok, so what are the records? You have got me curious. HH

I know what you mean...there once was a time that I felt disgusted finding a 40%'er (left over from my 1980's mentality), now, I'll take any that I can get.

 

[n8dagr8345]

I try not to let on too much, but I will tell you I have averaged 6.5 silvers/box this month. That includes a 12 box skunk streak...

Ive enjoyed all the 40%, and yes, silver is silver... but I love the design of the Walker- Need more stat!

I just finished recounting. 397x 40% to 69x 90%. Not too bad I think. 5.75 - 1.

6.5 is a great average. Congrats.

My best month was 3:1... id take 10:1.... Heck, this month id take 20:1 40%:90%

 

[BuffaloBoy]

OK Bud I have not found a 90%er in over 8 months, and a ben or walker in over 10 months.

 

[namster]

Whats funny is a few weeks ago someone posted a similar thread about 90%, and then I found my first walker. Then, this thread, and I find another. Keep em coming boys!

The worse thing I hate about the coin companies is the fact they have pulled all 1975 halves for years!

As far as 90% halves go... who even likes that Ben Franklin? I think its a terrible looking coin. I think id rather have a 1964.

I happen to love them, feel free to send them all to me...please

N8- just curious how long have you been hunting?

I'd gladly trade you! Haha. I'd trade anyone for a walker- and would trade for a '64 actually...

See the 100's of forum posts in the Coin Roll Hunting Forum. The silver is getting picked by all of you guys. Duh!

I have some 1975 halves. I can trade them for 10 90% halves. Anyone want a trade?



By the way, they have the date 1976, they were just minted in 1975.

N8, I do like the Franky - because it so clearly puts forth the ideals of liberty- Ben Franklin was
a very committed Libertarian ! ( limited govt. ) the reverse prominently displaying the "liberty-
bell" reminds us of our hard fought freedoms ! and take a look at how deep the design is
sculpted on this coin - pretty impressive !!! and unlike the Kennedy , every time you find one
you just scored a 90% -er ! Argentium.
