I was able to track down a partial box ($450) from another branch and was skunked. Anyone here who has been doing this a while... Is that pretty typical? To get into a strong patch, then go bust for a spell? I also bought 3 boxes of nickels at the same time, completed them last night. Lot more work there, of course. Especially as I plan to keep nickels so I've been re-rolling them. The nickels yielded 7 war nickels and a buffalo. Encouraging enough. Going to try and attach a pic of last weekend's haul. Grabbed a box of pennies this week and just blew through them this evening while I had a movie playing. 7 wheaties and an Indian Head (first one of those I have ever even seen). All in all, I am not complaining. This all seems like a pretty good start? For the first few weeks? I have 6000 halves on order for this week, and 12000 nickels. Here's hoping that beginner's luck holds out![/QUOTE]
