On a streak!
A streak like the one on Pepe's back.
Sorted 2 more boxes of halves last night.
First box was a skunk.. getting my consecutive skunk streak up to 2.
Just as I was thinking I was gonna get a double skunk, I somehow miraculously found a 40% 1967 silver half halfway through the second box.. making the save!  |
If your percentages are low.. just sort more. If your percentages are high.. just sort more.
Now selling Copper pennies. 1.6x plus shipping. Limited amounts available. |

$80 Halves - CWRs (from a local bank in town)
5 rolls of crap, but 3 ROLLS HAD LOTS OF SILVERS!! 
The bank was saving these rolls for someone else, who did not show up to pick them up. They asked me if I was the one who called the bank to save these half dollar rolls. I said, "No, but I'll be glad to take them off your hands."
THERE'S NOTHING LIKE FINDING CWRS WITH PLENTY OF SILVERS IN THEM!!
27 Kennedy 40% SILVER clads - '66(3),'67(9),'68D(10),'69D(5)

$200 Quarters - CWRs (from my source bank where I get half dollars)
I cashed my state income tax refund check today. I noticed these twenty rolls of CWRs on the teller's counter. Each one had someone's name on them. I thought I take a chance.
WRONG - SKUNK!! 
One roll was short a quarter, too.  |

2 rolls CWR halves. You know it's gonna be bad when handwritten on the outside of the rolls it says "Bank"
Yep.. Skunkeroonie! They were all Bicentennieal halves. Sure took them a while to determine that these were worthless and should be turned in. |
If your percentages are low.. just sort more. If your percentages are high.. just sort more.
Now selling Copper pennies. 1.6x plus shipping. Limited amounts available. |
