1 roll of halves. SKUNKED! Gee, I hate getting skunked. The pennies I bought at this bank were also a bunch of skunk new zinc garbage ones. I have a good mind to turn that bank into a dump bank.

I was thinking. That's dangerous these days. But these stats would help answer a pretty important question for someone who is deciding what to sort, in order to find silver.

Silver coins found, per $1000 searched
Nickels: 8.6
Dimes: 5.48
Quarters: 44.12
Halves: 12.7
Stats reflect approximately $12k nickels, $14k dimes, $5k quarters, and $128k halves searched.

Without reading all 20+ pages, can someone tell me: is there some anomaly that is skewing the quarter data?

While cashing in a coin counter ticket yesterday I spot a possible silver in the tellers tray. He had a few dollars and I asked if I could buy his halves. He instantly plucked the suspected coin from the rest and set it aside. "That one's special"

It was a 65'.

Before I could comment, he reads the common clad dates on the rest to me and I politely declined taking them while smiling brightly.

Nice try anyway.

Got a huge pile from the coin counter rejects today including a 1938 Australian Half Penny (ha'pence)size of a quarter and a 1944 Turkish coin, size of a dime.

Ryedale should arrive today.

Ah yeah! Rainsome found some 225 or so silver quarters this month. This really throws off the data, because he had a 50% silver find in his search. Normally Quarters are worse off than dime search % finds.

Selling Copper cents. $0 FV available at 1.4xFV. Also interested in trading for wheat pennies and other coins Please pm me for requests or inquiries.

If all goes well, I'm getting a new PC today: Quad-4 CPU/64-bit/8gb ram/1T HD/ATI Radeon graphics card/Windows-7/2007 Window Office. There might be a bit of a learning curve setting up this monster machine into my home network. Please be patient with me providing you with stats over the next few days. Thanks....

My quarter find of 223 was a big anomoly, and might best be deleted, since it skews the data and might mis-lead some people.

Again, if there is anyone in the Oregon area searching for silver, IM me; I would like to compare notes.

Bad news today as one branch where I have had a business account for 30 years and last week started producing silver, cut me off unless I agree to a surcharge of $5-$10 per box.

I have a great relationship with head teller who was not in today.
Another hard women did the dirty work without sympathy and a lecture about special order charges,

I also went to two other branches I never go to of the same bank and they delivered. 1 Skunk so far and the other box smells of skunk,

I still have the third and last branch to visit and we'll see if they deliver tomorrow.

Well, I was feeling bad and went to my main business bank where the head teller is a good friend and I asked him how much I could order without breaking the deal.

He knows I deposit about a half million a year there, said I could double and get 4 boxes a week.

I told him that if someone came looking over his shoulder to back off and let me know.

This bank does not have a good production history, nor did the bank i lost. We will see.

I could be out shopping for banks again soon.

Since I have to do 2-3 times the volume to produce the same amount of silver as some others, it's tough going.

If you have an account at a bank, they should not treat you like dirt if you ask for something they need to order. Sorry about that news, and I hope you will be able to do as good as you did when you had that bank.
