<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Truble, post: 2796106, member: 80662&quot;]First, ignore negative nellies.</p><p>&nbsp;It does matter the quantity and frequency. More boxes more often. So I started out with two boxes and then decided to see if things were different if I increased the amount per week. My experience it made a huge difference. when I started this adventure in 2011 it was around 8 silvers per box, about one per 125 coins. It got really bad in the fall of 2015 where it was down to 1 per 297 coins. (yes, I kept stats). my current average is just above 1 per 250 coins so a little better. So if you spread it out over weeks you are going to potentially miss collection dumps. last year June to August I hit a collection that spanned multiple boxes, and multiple weeks, you can search back through the posts and find them. The way Loomis sorts and rolls coins is spreading out collections across multiple rolls and then boxes. etc. so by ordering say one box a week you may have gotten the first or last box of a collection, or the box just before a collection of silvers. Imagine sitting in a Loomis location a pallet of Half Dollar boxes (stop drooling), as your order is pulled you are likely to increase your odds by grabbing say four boxes a week than one box a week. As the pallet diminishes below a certain inventory level they may run bags of halfs turned in by banks, starting the process all over again. One other searcher I meet searches Brinks, his girl friend works for a branch and ask the Brinks driver to pull boxes from the bottom of a stack. He says he found 47 Walkers in one of those boxes, Could be true or not.</p><p><br /></p><p>My new tracking is more difficult because each Loomis location is identified by a four digit numbering system. My area happens to be 4597, but recently I have gotten unmarked boxes and boxes from other areas with other numbers. Meaning one of two things, they cant keep up with demand and are ordering from other locations or they have changed how they are distributing orders, I almost asked a Loomis driver the other day but most of the time they wont speak to you because of security.</p><p><br /></p><p>As you order boxes, note the four digit number and track how many you get from that location. Also, go to the Loomis website and check out where there locations are in your state, for instance Colorado has three Colorado Springs, Aurora and Grand Junction. they may have a central processing center or each branch processes their own coins, you tell if boxes have different numbers.</p><p><br /></p><p>so for my ordering frequency I have three branches of a particular bank within a five mile radius of my Credit Union, I get four boxes from each week. 8 on Tuesday&#039;s and 4 on Wednesday.</p><p><br /></p><p>Let me know how it goes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
