Oh.. I didn't know there was a minimum.. I never read that in the original fine print.  Well I bought all the half dollars one of my banks had today. Same place as I got that first roll. Today they had 2 Rolls! I knew sorting them would hammer my percentage, but I wanted to show a buddy about coin roll searching.. so I cracked those 2 rolls. It was a good couple of rolls to show him how easy it is to get silver. The first roll had 1 40%ers.. to protect my average. The second roll had 5 40%ers.. so now my percentage is even higher!  |
If your percentages are low.. just sort more. If your percentages are high.. just sort more.

| Yeah, but I know he will sort more. I have 5 more CWR rolls I picked up today to still sort.. so I can get above that minimum and be official. These are from the same bank that I got the silver santa visit of 99 silvers (88 90%, 11 40%) from last year and a buddy of mine got 10 rolls of BIG dollars that turned out to be all Morgan and Peace Dollars. |

NEW - SILVER SEARCHER SCORE has been posted.
This score gives credit to those who have worked hard to find their SILVERs. The best scores will be those who have searched a lot of coins and found a lot of SILVERs (War nicks, SILVER dimes, SILVER quarters, and SILVER halves).
SILVER SEARCHER SCORE = (NICKS-SEARCHED+DIMES-SEARCHED+QUARTERS-SEARCHED+HALVES-SEARCHED)
* (SILVERS-FOUND) / 8500
CHECK IT OUT!!
Last nights scores did not factor in the total weighting of Nick, Dime, or Quarter searching. I fixed it today. If you search more and find more, you get a better score. |

I find tons of stuff not reported.
I get a handful of world coins daily and often get change left in the coin counters. Sometimes 5-10 bucks. Penny Arcade users don't realize the machine has stopped counting when pouring money is still being poured in. The user pushes for the receipt and later my ticket has their money on it. I only realize this because there will be quarters and dimes on the receipt as counted and I didn't have any. Dollar coins occasionally as well.
I have searched 8 bricks of pennies in the last 8 days.
