Holy cow, 10 boxes and only one 40% and one 90%! Numbers are awful up here. Got at least 2 more weeks of this. Hopefully I'll get at least one decent box out of it.

SILVER is scarce in my area, but this was the best set of dime boxes I've got in awhile...

[Country]

$2000 Halves - 4 Brink's Boxes

Well, it appears that a couple boxes with SILVER was an anomaly. In fact, a couple of boxes with any circulated coins was an anomaly. The same old trend is back: BU-PU boxes.

4 Boxes of 100% 2000-P BU-PUs. UGLY SHINY COINS!!

Disgusting bright and shiny coins for which you have 0% chance of finding anything!!

I'm changing my coin order to get more dimes. The halves in my area are ruthless beyond measure.

[coinwolf]

Finally got to do a little searching after a few months! $200 cwr yielded nothing. Felt good to search again!
