Halves are frustrating, but if you can easily get half boxes you need to persevere. When you get your first monster box, you will change your mind. :mrgreen:


6 Halve boxes Sorted and only one 40% liberated from Circ. (to many skunkers for me to maintain interest.)

Country, ordering is not a problem (I love my bank gals) and there seems to be plenty of coin. My problem(s) are: these boxes are heavy. I never find crap. I can only dump about 1.5-2K month and it's a pain. And most importantly I am not having any fun searching 50 cent pieces.

Sticking to my abes, Jeffs, and Roosies here on out :)


Yes, halves can be work and require patience for most of us.

For me, boxes like yours are the price of admission. Then I find a bunch of silver with no rhyme or reason and, it all becomes something else.

Do I still lead in skunk boxes Country?

I have to say, if I could only dump 2K a month, that would be a problem.

I dump 2K a week now.

Only volume searching works for me.

The latest SILVER stats for February have been posted. Look to the first post of this thread to get the details. Always look to the line just before the Kitco quotes to see the last post that was included in the latest update.

With the inclusion of the number of halves found, this list is very illuminating compared to say, searcher percentage numbers. Here the comparison makes you feel it.

Like to see a big list from last year....Country, would that be too much to ask?

two boxes of halves

box 1 two walkers
Box 2 skunk

$110 in BWR halves. I got these while working with anothe guy. He needed to cash a check. I went in with him. We had been talking about silver and how I sort halves. He was driving as I sorted the rolls. 10 skunks. The last rolls wasn' t looking good but I did come up with a dirty 1965. Gave it to him. Hope he gets the silver bug and the fiscal snese that most of us on the forum seem to have.

If you are waiting for the "correction" to buy you need to realize that the increasing prices ARE the correction.

That 1971 coin cannot be Swedish. I think you mean Swiss. If it was Swedish, it would be a Krona (or Kroner).
