$154 in nickels, $124 from a bag, $30 in CWR's... Bag produced a lonely '43-P in the second-to-last handful out of the bag.

The CWR's were a skunk, save for one roll which was 3/4's pre-50's nickels. The account number is on there, so I'm going back to try and get more from that account... but yeah, a VF '37 Buff and a '44-D out of that roll as well.

I'll break the $110k mark for change on the year tomorrow. Pretty amazing considering 4 months ago I was sitting at about $45k.

 

Two boxes of halves = skunked

 

One box of halves and pulled two 40%'rs, i got 4 more boxes this week and im hoping for some 90%'rs.

 

Good luck!

 

Are you ever able to work a deal with these people where you can pay them more than the dealer but get some nice rolls of silver for below melt value?

Once in a blue moon... Most go home and do, their own research, I guess. I did buy a roll of dimes for 17x about a month ago. That was nice.

 

I'd be all over that deal, a roll of dimes for about $85.00. I could not let the ones I collect go for less than $150 a roll, too much work and I just like them too much.

I was having this same convo with sorterx in pms about a month ago. I can't fathom selling my silver for les than $50/oz.

 

I guess we hold onto silver until it hits $50 or some sort of financial emergency arises. Then when it hits $50 I'll still try and hold onto it with hope it would go up more. Or maybe everyone would sell at $50 make a profit, drive the price down, then re-buy. It would be nice to be able to time the market, I can always dream.

Another box of halves and another skunk. 6 in a row!

 

Ace,
Not cool, I hope the dimes and nics are treating you better. Very discouraging and makes the grind all that more tough. Hang in there bro and take a look at the WLH's you found the other week. That ought to make you feel better.

Ouch man! Where's the unlike button when you need it? Is the silver drying up out there?

 

HOTN - Funny thing is as soon as you and I exchanged messages I went stone cold! I searched 3 boxes of dimes last night for 1 Silver Rosie. 2 Boxes were all 2011's! Ugh.

I'm actually heading out of town tonight at midnight to head down to Hilton Head Island, SC for a weeks vacation. So, I'll be doing some hunting down there. I got a feeling my luck will improve.

Either way, this hobby is very streaky. I had a great 7 day run followed up by a 7 day run that is bone dry!!! Really reminds me of BlackJack at the casino, only here you don't lose money...only time!

 

All in a weeks worth of work...next week this time I could be on fire again. Can't worry about it!

 

Ace,
I must have stolen your Mojo, that week was terrible and I have pulled myself out of the gutter this week and finally got a few silvers. Enjoy the vaca and some time with the fam.

are pre 1960 nickels worth much- I know about war nickels but what do you do with the others nickels? I have probable close to 300 nickels al pre 60

 

I've got around 3000 pre-60's. Don't really know why I keep 'em. It's whatever.

Box of dimes; 1 silver.

 

Box of nickels; a nice '26 Buff, probably F15 or thereabouts, and a V-Nick;

 

I picked up a box of dimes today for the first time ever. Never searched before, what do I look for other then silver?
