Maybe you could tell if the 1976-S is silver by doing a drop test and comparing the sound to one of the burned clad coins. Do the burned silver coins still have the familiar silver clank? or did the heat alter the sound?

The burned silvers do have the familiar clank, but some of the burned clads also had a similar clank sound but were obviously not silver. I think I'm going to buy a gram scale. I've never really needed one, but this seems like a good enough reason. Thanks for the suggestion.

I pulled a 40%er out of one of my boxes yesterday that looks EXACTLY like your burnt coins--blackish purple. In fact, when I pulled it out I immediately thought of your burnt silvers. I posted a picture of it on my log. It's strange that there seems to be a lot of burnt silvers out there. This isn't the first time I've found burnt silver.

Did a little hunting and scouting for new supply lines. Got one potential box ordering bank and 4 40%'s. A little silver to add to the stack. Keep on rolling.

Holy cow! Those are the kind of rolls we all dream about. I have read that back in the sixties, halves weren't even getting into circulation because people were hoarding them for the silver. You just stumbled upon one of those old hoards. It's nice to know they're still out there.

Did a bit of CWR hunting. Just found some loose clad and one bank had a box of $500 that I had deposited with them a year ago (didn't figure they would hang on to it). I decided to decline it since there was not even a shred of possibilities considering I had marked the rolls.

$7.50 loose halves: skunk

Another week where the bank didn't order halves. I had even brought them a snack last week in hopes it would help them remember. Oh well, I've got an order on Monday from another bank, I hope so at least.

Still on cloud nine from my 128 CWR dream. Keep on rolling.

Monthly Totals for January: 145 silver halves with 21-90% and 124-40% for a total of 26.16 Troy ounces. Absolutely the best month in my CRH career (professional since Feb 2013).

I only had one box that actually got ordered all month. I'm hoping to have 8 boxes in February.

Keep on rolling!

Hey Zero, stinks your banks keep forgetting to place your order. You could ask them what day they actually place the order and then give them a call so they don't forget. After a couple weeks of reminders, I'd imagine they'd remember.

Congrats on the killer month!

Thanks avago...the dream cwr made up for all the forgotten orders (the holidays messed them up).

My first box of February came in on-time and produced 2-40%. It's always nice to confirm that Brinks is not culling.

Brinks half box #87: 2-40%


Keep on rolling.

I used to think Loomis was culling silver. Their boxes just didn't seem to produce. But then I had several nice boxes--a nice halves box, and some nice dime and nickel boxes--even a few silver quarters--an I decided the alleged armored car companies culling of silver stories were just urban legend. My Brinks boxes have always been good too.

Damn, you killed it in January! Good job.

Killer month! I'll feel fortunate to get that much silver in the entire year. Sweet.

It's funny...when I picked up the $130 in CWR, I thought it was just going to be another skunk, but as Silverface used to say, "you never know what's about to happen in this hobby" (something like that). Keep on rolling!

Brinks half box #90: skunk

Well...it's tough to get a skunk, but there's always next week to break the skunk streak.

Just keep on rolling.

Pretty nice box. The three on the bottom look like the purple-ish halves I've pulled out on occasion. House fire
