After having no boxes come in last week, I got a descent box with 11 keepers plus I did some metal scrapping and bought two rare coins with the proceeds (I count it as CRH but it's obviously not in the pure sense of the hobby).
Brinks half box #63: skunk
Brinks half box #64: 3-64s, 8-40%

and here are two coins I thought would be very difficult to find in boxes 1938D and 1913P...so I basically traded a non working fridge, an old aluminum ladder, and a roll of copper wire for these beauties:

where do you scrap at?
Well...I'm back. I got my bank roll back up and did some CRH hunting. At the third bank, I found a 16-40% roll.

So, I'm going to try to get some boxes ordered for next week.
It's nice to be in the hunt again.
Merry Christmas.

Pretty nice dime box. I'm stilling looking for my first Canadian silver. The Canadians are usually spoilers; they look like silver, but they aren't. But your Canadian must have been a pleasant surprise.
I have also found that boxes in the bank vaults are usually dumps. On a few occasions I have bought boxes from the vault just to find out they are a big dump from another CRHer--evry disappointing. Butlast week I picked up a nearly full box ($480) and ended up with eight silvers. A box with five silvers is nothing to sniff at. Nice start to 2015.
Did they go through a house fire or something? They look like the quarters I pull out of the ground.![]()
