*Official August 2012 Half Dollars and Other Coins

Postby Country » Tue Jul 31, 2012 5:15 pm

Hello Fellow SILVER treasure hunters:

In August 2012, please post your finds right here.

HIGHLIGHTS OF JULY'S SILVER SEARCHING:

COMING SOON!!

It's important to post your SKUNKS as well as your great SILVER finds. That keeps the statistics honest. I'll try to post some graphs of our SILVER finds as 2012 proceeds along by adding data to this initial post. I'll see if I can post some interesting insights into the data here in this initial post for 2012 too. Even though this is a national tabulation of all our finds, I think its fun to know what finds are being made and at what frequentcy.

It might be interesting to see how many Barbers, Walkers, Franklins, and 90% Kennedys are found too. Also, how many Barbers and Mercurys dimes we find. I'll try to keep track of all of these.

Now, go out and find that SILVER treasure!! :mrgreen:

Those of you who are considering becoming RealCent members - Why not join today and stake your SILVER claims right here? Compete with other members in the race to see who is the best SILVER hunter.

Statistical data includes all posts August 01, 2012 mid-night forum time and later.

7 halves loose from one branch and 1 from another in town - skunk for silver.

Called a thrird branch but they only had 1. Odds are it was not AG. So maybe I'll pick it up next week when I get to that branch.

Gotta keep looking! :) Good luck everyone!

10.50 halves = skunk, but 10.00 of them came in a Whitman plastic tube!
100.00 BWR nickels = 1920 & 1925 buffaloes.
250 BWR dimes = 1917 mercury!

150.00 in rerolled BWR halves. I knew there'd be nothing, but sometimes you have to help your pickup bank by taking them off their hands!

Skunk!
