<p>[QUOTE="AceFranklin, post: 1257605, member: 31165"]I gave up trying to figure out per box ratios. Honestly, all I care about is the bottom line. I'd have to do this for about a year to feel comfortable with any statistics as it would take that time to normalize the info. It's like playing blackjack. You could sit down and hit a couple of hot shoes and win hundreds or thousands of dollars, or do the complete opposite. Over a prolonged period of time you'll win some, lose some, but you will undoubtedly lose more than you win. The statistics don't lie. With CRHing it's similar except you don't lose anything but time. One box of halves does not tell a good tale. I've had 1 amazing box of halves with 36 keepers, a ton with 1-2 keepers, and as many if not more with nothing. As long as I see steady progression it doesn't matter to me. I also don't care enough to accurately check all of my boxes searched or teller tray scores. As I said, I only care about the bottom line and am I enjoying myself doing this. When it stops being fun, I'm out. I could make a lot more money with my time doing a bunch of other things. However, I enjoy this. So it's worth it to me.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here are my August totals: :thumb:</p><p><br /></p><p>[TABLE="width: 235"]</p><p>[TR]</p><p>[TD]<b>August Totals:</b></p><p>[/TD]</p><p>[TD][/TD]</p><p>[/TR]</p><p>[TR]</p><p>[TD]<b><span style="color: #0000ff">Walking Liberty</span></b></p><p>[/TD]</p><p>[TD]<b><span style="color: #0000ff">0</span></b></p><p>[/TD]</p><p>[/TR]</p><p>[TR]</p><p>[TD]<b><span style="color: #0000ff">Franklins</span></b></p><p>[/TD]</p><p>[TD="align: right"]</p><p style="text-align: left"><b><span style="color: #0000ff">2</span></b></p><p>[/TD]</p><p>[/TR]</p><p>[TR]</p><p>[TD]<b><span style="color: #0000ff">Kennedy Half Dollar (90%)</span></b></p><p>[/TD]</p><p>[TD="align: right"]</p><p style="text-align: left"><b><span style="color: #0000ff">8</span></b></p><p>[/TD]</p><p>[/TR]</p><p>[TR]</p><p>[TD]<b><span style="color: #0000ff">Kennedy Half Dollar (40%)</span></b></p><p>[/TD]</p><p>[TD]<b><span style="color: #0000ff">23</span></b></p><p>[/TD]</p><p>[/TR]</p><p>[TR]</p><p>[TD]<b><span style="color: #0000ff">Washington Quarter</span></b></p><p>[/TD]</p><p>[TD="align: right"]</p><p style="text-align: left"><b><span style="color: #0000ff">1</span></b></p><p>[/TD]</p><p>[/TR]</p><p>[TR]</p><p>[TD]<b><span style="color: #0000ff">American Silver Eagle</span></b></p><p>[/TD]</p><p>[TD]<b><span style="color: #0000ff">0</span></b></p><p>[/TD]</p><p>[/TR]</p><p>[TR]</p><p>[TD]<b><span style="color: #0000ff">Roosevelt Dimes</span></b></p><p>[/TD]</p><p>[TD]<b><span style="color: #0000ff">33</span></b></p><p>[/TD]</p><p>[/TR]</p><p>[TR]</p><p>[TD]<b><span style="color: #0000ff">Mercury Dime</span></b></p><p>[/TD]</p><p>[TD]<b><span style="color: #0000ff">3</span></b></p><p>[/TD]</p><p>[/TR]</p><p>[TR]</p><p>[TD]<b><span style="color: #0000ff">War Nickel</span></b></p><p>[/TD]</p><p>[TD]<b><span style="color: #0000ff">13</span></b></p><p>[/TD]</p><p>[/TR]</p><p>[TR]</p><p>[TD]<b><span style="color: #0000ff">Canadian Silver Dime</span></b></p><p>[/TD]</p><p>[TD]<b><span style="color: #0000ff">0</span></b></p><p>[/TD]</p><p>[/TR]</p><p>[TR]</p><p>[TD]<b><span style="color: #0000ff">V - Nickel</span></b></p><p>[/TD]</p><p>[TD]<b><span style="color: #0000ff">1</span></b></p><p>[/TD]</p><p>[/TR]</p><p>[/TABLE][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
