Loomis culling silver????

I was wondering if Loomis culls any silver coins? I just finished going through my fourth box of halves and nothing. I know it's just speculations but comes on our of 4000 halves and nothing....

They would be smart to. I know Coinstar does.

 

I've heard of people doing 3x the amount of boxes you have done and getting skunked. Just the name of the game nowadays I think.

 

You will find your best luck in customer-wrapped rolls or unrolled bags of $1,000 FV. Try to find a bank that will order them for you.

 

more and more people are mining for silver that its getting harder to find!

 

Loomis has been sorting out silver for at least the past few years.

 

That sucks..... Time to find a bank who uses a different non silver culling organization

 

Don't you all wish you could get in a time machine and go back to the 60's, 70's or even 80's? Could silver coinage been the single greatest freebie in the history of mankind? If only I knew then what I know now...

 

Only thing I find in Loomis rolls are atb quarters.

 

i think so. i have ordered 3 boxes of loomis halves. all the boxes were sealed, and in all of them the ends of the rolls had been open and re-folded. only thing i got out of those was 4 NIFC. now i have stopped ordering boxes, and just buy teller tray coins and CWRs.

 

I work in a bank and had heard that the Loomis workers are allowed to pull silver and replace at face value. I decided to ask my delivery driver one day about this. He said when they take in a bag from somewhere else, they just dump it straight into a counting machine to verify the amount and the machine automatically re rolls it. They never see the coins. I asked him if there are any old half dollar boxes that have been sitting around for years (they get to load their own trucks) and he said the inventory gets cycled pretty good. Nothing old sitting around...

Even though I started this thread not sure what's going on. Today I went through another 2 boxes of halves and nothing once again...... However, my brother got a box of dimes for him bank (Loomis wrapped) and he got 1 1963 dime. I've been thinking the halves might be the rarest to come by now.

 

The guys that make roll hunting silver look good are doing 10k+ a month and have an uncanny ability to get customer rolled. The real-life logistics and total PITA of maintaining that is incredible and not worth the effort by most peoples standards. I'd say the glory days are over.

 

I believe silver quarters are the hardest. I have only found 2-3 ever going through rolls, and I have searched tons.

Maybe....but I wouldn't mind just going back to the late 1990s and buy junk silver for $5-8/oz.

I was lucky to start collecting in about 1990 and built a decent collection of junk silver US coins throughout the decade. Well, in 2011- early 2013, I periodically sold off most of my junk silver and made seriously profit from the bubble. I then folded that money back into the collection by purchasing nicer grades and key dates.

 

Yep....... another two boxes of Halves from Loomis and nothing. I think I'm done with halves. Even if I could find one I would say it was all worth it.

 

Stick with dimes. In my experience, they produce more than halves.

 

I place my weekly order but this time I did order 2 boxes of dimes and 1 box of quarters. I'm going to have some fun this weekend.

 

Quarters suck for silver. Not worth the time/effort. Dimes are quick and easy though.

 

Loomis may be alive. I decided to try my luck with quarters and dimes. And after $500 of each I walked away with 2 quarters and 2 dimes. I'm happy with the results. Or maybe Loomis is just culling halves???
