Your averaves?

[BuffaloBoy]

What are your averages for the standard coin box? ($25 pennies, $100 nickels, $250 dimes, $500 quarters, $500 halves)?

I am averaging:
pennies: 18 wheats per box
Nickels: 1 war nickel per box, 1 buffalo nickel every 3.5 boxes
Dimes: 1 silver every 2 boxes
quarters: 1 box searched, 0/1 so 0%
Halves: I would like to say 4 silvers per box, mainly 40%, update: 20 boxes searched this year, 22x 90% and 125x 40% found, so:
1.1x 90% per box, 6.25x 40% per box, or 1.32234 oz per box. This average won't last, im sure of that, but I hope it does
thanks for sharing! hh

I keep my averages up to date in my signature, and post the calculations every time I search, typically Thursdays and Fridays.

I envy your half average, but pitty you on the dimes.

i pitty my dime average as well, think I have more success with halves.

My dime average is closer than 1.5 per box, 1/6th of those are Mercury. I average about 1 Buffalo per box of nickels, and 1 sliver per box. But I'm getting good errors and varieties from nickels too (just found a nickel with a big rotation error). I haven't gotten any silver in half dollar boxes, but I get enough in loose and CWR, that my "average" is > 0. Pennies are about 17 wheats per box, but I haven't done them in a while because I've got a big backlog to check for varieties and errors, which is a very tedious process.

Crazy what the competition has done to our averages. Just last year at this time through January, I was averaging $60 face in silver halves out of $3k. A poor week I would only cull $40 face. Nowadays, I'm fortunate to cull $10 face from $3k.

Wow! Any of those numbers would be awesome for me. I search around $2500 a week and am happy if I have 2 silver halves (40%) at the end of the week.
