<p>[QUOTE="Fifty, post: 959080, member: 24555"]I have noticed when searching boxes of halves that if there is not a silver half on one of then end coins then the box will contain no silver. I have been through more boxes than I can count and I can only think of one time when this wasn't true. You can see 10% of the coins by looking at the end roll coins. If it's a hot box you're going to see it. I am thinking that what happens when I get boxes of halves they are either searched (someone else's dump box) or assemebled from many customer handrolls. I know that the armored services roll up the coins and box them. If I turn in a dump box they have to run the coins through a counter and then rebox them.</p><p> </p><p> I found 43 40% coins and 9 90% out of six boxes. Four of those boxes had nothing. I get exicted when I open a box and see a silver on the edge but it's disheartening to see nothing good. </p><p> </p><p>I am getting out of the roll searching business for a while. I have found almost $1000 face in silver halves this summer. Three rolls of assorted 90% and the rest 40%. Most of it came on one day when I found just over $800 in one bag. It's alot of work and it drives my wife crazy. She helps me sometimes but more often than not it's me. I haul the coins back and forth and make sure I have enough money in the right bank to get the coins ordered. </p><p> </p><p>I wish all of you the best of luck in your searches. I have seen quite a few coins with a red mark on the neckline. If that's your signature PM me and share some stories.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
