<p>[QUOTE=&quot;zerocd, post: 577939, member: 16605&quot;]I got another 8 boxes of halves yesterday.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I had to dump $4400 before I could and visited 4 banks.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>My last dump bank I got the ice queen who was miffed that she had to change bags. It was so beneath her. Always friendly and polite. The Rhona Mitra lookalike was not having any.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>When I cashed in, the teller gave me 10 rolls of District of Columbia quarters (P mint) (would love to trade for D mint and/or rolls of 2009 pennies and PR quarters of either mint)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>All four banks had decent coin return and magnet findings. I picked up 30 foreign coins including $5 CDN and coins from every continent.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>(amazing that fifty large Rupees=USD)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The holes in the 8 boxes of fifty cent pieces revealed nothing of interest. Marked coins were visible all around.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>First box had 4-40% and 1-64</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Second box was halfway thru before I started hitting paydirt.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>13-Walkers half in the thirties.</p><p>8- Franklins earliest 1949</p><p>1-64</p><p>17-40%</p><p>1971s</p><p>2000s</p><p>1-100 Colones coin from Costa Rica (520C=1USD)</p><p>1-50 New Pence 1980</p><p>a few NIFCs and other AU&#039;s</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I scanned the rest of the boxes without finding a connection to the hot box or any silver. Maybe my next order will connect with a hot spot on the pile.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I think the rest will be nearly cleaned of silver. You get a feel for this after 100K halves. The suprises are worth my patience.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So many coins marked. The MASTER is some one who marks with a large J and the date. I am in his shadow.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I have been getting 18 boxes a week and one week (two weeks ago) I got 26 boxes. This has been for a month. Before that I was getting 3-4 boxes a week.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Finds:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I am up to 24 machine doubles finds since January</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Maybe 150-200 ounces of silver in that time. Have to do an inventory.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I filled two albums less a few coins and just got two more which are well on their way to being filled. I get the albums with proof holes and use the degraded proofs to fill them.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>At least a tube and a half of proofs. 6 were silver proofs.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>6 tubes of walkers and 4+ of Franklins</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>500 40%</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>1- 1911 Barber</p><p>1- Booker T.
