| Two boxes yesterday, Skunk. I think I am starting to get coin from a different location, more halves are "marked" in some way. |

| A semi local bank has a coin sorter. I walked into the loby and it was missing. I almost had a heart attack. Where would I get my bags of pennies?? They just moved it. The bag of halves is at $890. Next week I'm taking in $110 so I can come home with tthe bag. |

Nice results for sure. Good deal.

Live free or die.
Plain and simple.
"If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your council or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen."

So 2 out of the last 3 weeks, my bank has told me they didn't get my 1/2's in.
1st time because of Veterans Day, 2nd time because the place they get their change from didn't have them...
Are these plausible reasons or are they BSing me?

Could be either.
I'd open an account at another bank and ask if they will order Halves for you.
My last account was opened because they said they would order unlimited boxes of halves and didn't mind if I bring them back after I sorted them.
I'll try that for a few months and see how it goes. |

| Why would you bring them back? You're only going to get your own dumps... If you wanted to seriously sort for silver, you'd need to dump at a bank with one armored car company and pick up from a bank with a different one. |

2 boxes last night.
1 Skunk, unless you count a 2002D.
The other box:
2 '64
1 '67
1 '68
1 '69
1 Ben '53
2 '04
2 '05
1 1984 that looks like it was gold plated at one time (mostly rubbed off now) that is stamped 1960 to the left of Kennedy's neck and 1985 on the right.
1 1972 kind of worn that I can't find the engraver's initials. |

One box.... 2 1967s 1 1968 1 1969 and a 1987 CLAD proof. Odd thing was that the box didnt have a coin older than 1996.
Anyone have ideas on what a 1987 clad proof is worth?? Its a little bit scratched up |

Take it to a couple of coin shops and strike up a conversation.
I'm going to try to put together a collection of the proofs I find in circulation. I've found 14 different dates so far. |

drs499m,
I'll pick up and dump at the same bank because my puny dump will be diluted with the coins taken in from the whole route that get's serviced, sent to their central location and re-wrapped with many other routes. I'll order boxes any time I have the cash.
I live in a sparsely populated rural area and I'll take what I can get.
I drive 53 miles one way to work at the largest town in the County (just happens to be the County Seat) and only have a handful of banks to deal with.
I've been waiting 4 months for the only coin counter in town to get their Half bag switched. I've been able to purchase the last two from them and they should be calling just about any time now.
When I drive by for CWR's I don't buy my marked ones. Some have shown up at other banks across town. |

| Ok, that makes a lot more sense. In my area I can dump at any of the 100 or so banks within 10 miles. Also, $40k/month in halves would start to come back to me here :P. |
