Message:: [QUOTE="Walnut, post: 1397939, member: 36341"]Went through 4 boxes of half dollars this week. I picked up two random boxes this week from different banks. Someone here locally is putting red dots on the ear. I've seen a growing number of these marks. Apparently, one mark isn't enough, another guy is putting a black line, so the coins have at least 2 different marks. Sometimes there a green 'x' on top of that. These boxes didn't yield much, picked 3 40%. No 90% this week. This will be the first week in awhile I didn't pull at least one 90%. Dime and quarter boxes did better. I pulled about 10 silver dimes from as many boxes. Quarters did well, out of maybe 6 boxes pulled 4 silver quarters. Last box I picked up today had two in one box. Silver quarters are nice looking coins, growing to appreciate them. I might start doing more quarters and less dimes. Dimes have been getting sparse. Its very rare for me to find two in one box and more often its none. I started doing dimes and quarters a couple months after I started with halves to fill in between and because I figured less people were doing dimes. The dimes are harder to dump than quarters. Any bank will take quarters. Even if I do not have an account, I find they will take them because the use them so often. If I keep on them, I should have a roll by Christmas.[/QUOTE]
