<p>[QUOTE="doctorcoffey, post: 1212950, member: 31827"]Sorry you are way off. Wish you were right. But it ain't so in todays market. We sort one $500 box (1,000 half dollars) a day. On average we find just one 40% or 90% silver half dollar per box. <b>1 silver coin out of 1,000</b>. The last 15 boxes sorted gave us 15 coins; 6 were 90% Franklins, Kennedys and Walking Liberties. The other 9 where 40% Kennedys. I wouldn't do it by myself but my daughter brings me 1 box of half dollars and 4 boxes of pennies every day (Mon - Fri). I do the sorting watching TV or listening to music (it takes me about 1 to 2 hours per day). She recycles the coins the next day. We throw the silver half dollars into a "Treasure Chest" we bought. We store the pennies in 50 pound bags. Over time (years) you will be amazed how much silver and copper you can accumulate - But it Ain't Get Rich Quick.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
