Zeros CRH LOG

Got one lone silver 40% in the last roll of my second box. It's a lot better than a skunk.

Brinks half box #67: skunk
Brinks half box #68: 1-40%

It's always nice finding at least one, esp when its at the very end and you're pretty sure you're gonna get skunked. I still have a couple of boxes left to search but so far my whole week has been one big skunk. Hopefully there's better boxes ahead for both of us soon.

H$H!

Sorry for the slow times. Keep up the search and a big score will come.

Happy hunting,

Steven

It's sure been slow times for me too lately. Out of my last 10 boxes I've only found 2 x 40% and they were side by side in the same roll - go figure. So the past couple of weeks I've reluctantly relocated from Silverville to Skunksville. But I've found about 70 ozt of silver so far this year so its been a good year overall and I cant complain. And I still have 2 boxes from last Thursday to search so maybe I can find a little silver from those boxes.

Hope we both have better luck in August and finish the year with nice piles of silver.

H$H!

I had a nice box with my first Wender and the 1942 walker is in great shape. I also found a 1947 Balboa which is cool.


Brinks half box #71: 1-90% from 1962
Brinks half box #72: 4-40%, 4-90% with the dates 1969, 1968, 1967, 1965, 2-1964, 1942, and a 1947 Balboa

Congrats on the good boxes and your first Wender. A nice ratio of 90%/40% and that Walker looks like a beauty too.

H$H!

Brinks half box #73: 6-40% plus several clad S-mints. Two firsts for me are a 1987S and a 1968S. I didn't realize they made either one.

I've got another box to go through this weekend.

 

[SilverFace]

Congrats on the finds - esp the '68S. I found two '68S in a box earlier this year myself. 1968 was the first year of the S mint mark proof halves. Good look with your other box.

H$H!

Brinks half box #74: skunk

You can't get silver in every box. I'm happy with the 6 silvers in my other box this week. Just keep on rolling!

Brinks half box #76: skunk
$50 cwr dimes: 2 Rosie's


A little bit of silver to add to the stack. I gotta just keep on rolling.

 

[SilverFace]

Well 2 Rosie's from just 10 dime rolls is sure great results. I didn't have much luck with my half boxes last week either but I've still got a couple of boxes to finish this wknd so maybe I can still find a little something more to finish the month.

H$H!

I've been into this hobby just long enough to realize that persistence is everything, and the skunks just make the nice finds that much sweeter. I think you are smart to search dimes along with halves. With dimes the finds are less impressive overall, but dimes seem to be very consistent. Seems like I never get skunked on dimes if I search at least $500. Just a little silver per week is enough to keep me going.

Brinks half box #77: 1-90%, 4-40%

$20 cwr halves: 1-90% (a 1934D pretty worn out walker)
$12 loose halves: skunk
$85 mwr dimes: skunk
$15 cwr dimes: skunk

 

[SilverFace]

Some nice finds, esp from just $1100 or so. I bet finding that Walker in that cwr sure was a nice surprise. I've only searched about half of my 5 boxes from this week and so far no silver. Hopefully the best is saved for last.

H$H!

With the kind of volume you are searching, I'll bet it's very rare you get skunked. I search four boxes of halves per week, and I have yet to get skunked on all four boxes. In this hobby, volume seems to be the best guarantee of success.

Good luck...I'm nearing the same number of ounces I had last year. So, it looks like I will at least improve over last years haul. I am also at 499 silver coins...just one more!

 

[Silverslug]

If you continue at that same pace, you'll end the year with close to 700 coins--phenomenal. That nearly a two silvers per day average. Sweet.

I had a nice 1.8% half box yesterday.

Brinks half box #79: 3-90%, 15-40%
Brinks half box #80: skunk



Things had really slowed down lately, so this is a nice change of pace. My current system seems stable (no bank manager frowns or conversations for several months now), but I am at a lower volume. I don't miss those skunky Garda boxes I use to order. Brinks has been pretty consistent for me. Got to keep on rolling!

Actually, I am only at 291 silver coins for the year with a total of 517 over the last 20 months (that's how long I've been CRH). So, I'm hoping to keep a silver per day average this year which is better than my pace last year. My volume has gone up but is currently down at $1000 a week. The dumping situation is tough where I live.

Keep on rolling!
