Loomis Courier and silver halfs

[bfrf081488]

I am in the Northeast in the summer. I live in Florida the rest of the year. It seems like Loomis boxes having no silver halves in New England, they must screen? Please advisae if anyone has any good luck with Loomis boxes of halves in N.E.? Thanks, Brian

I have done at least a dozen boxes of halves from New England in the last few months. Got a couple 40%'s in one box. The rest were skunk. I am almost ready to quit and just use the time/resources to sort more pennies. I do plan to pay my mortgage at Citibank with halves a few times though, so I will be doing a few more boxes at least. Citibank blows!

When silver heats up, like it did late 2010 early 2011, the guys working the coin distribution centers for all the armored companies spend a little more time poking through the halves they process. The dimes are too small and too numerous, the war nicks blend in with junk nickels, and silver quarters in the wild were all grabbed up by the public years ago...but the 50-centers are big and noisy, and tiny in population compared to the other coins.

I knew a guy years ago worked in a local Brinks counting facility. He stashed away a few bags of halves in the short span of his employment there.
