My luck with CWR has been very spotty. I did find a whole role and a half of 40% Silver halves at one bank one time. That very same day I went to another bank right next to it and got $70 in CWR and there were 9 40%ers and 1 90%er in them. Other than that it seems like CWR in my area are usually someone else's dump. I will be getting a lot more CWR now that my bank is getting rid of their coin machines. What are your thoughts on this? What has been your experience. Is it about the same chances as searching boxes due to most of them being someone's dump?
@Silver Searcher will be jealous that you found those silver! He has been trying to get every Half rolls in the entire USA!
The $60 in halves at one of my credit union produced 2 1964, and 14 40% early last week. Each of the six rolls had at least one silver.
I don't hunt halves, but I'd think it would be a lot more hit or miss... Since they rarely circulate youd probably be likely to be getting someone's dump, but like you said you could also get a roll full of silver someone deposited. Only way to know for sure is to give it a shot... Losing those coin machines is a bad hit.
I still have coin machines at another bank but it will cut down on the volume of boxes I can do a week. I like to spread my dumps around so I don't go to one bank all the time. I liked the system I had where I would do 5-8 boxes a week and have 5-8 banks to dump at. Now I might have to dump a lot more in one shot but the weight may piss some of the smaller tellers off.
Last week at the local bank. I asked if the teller had anything unusual, and she said she did. She pull out a 1964 Kennedy in MS. Even swap.
CWR have been good or bad. Plenty of skunk/marked coins. But I've had the solid roll or semi-solid roll a few times.
CWR's are always exciting. Most of the time you get someone else's dump, but there is always that potential. You also accumulate a lot of foreign coins in CWR's.
