*Official February 2013 Half Dollars and Other Coins

Postby Country » Thu Jan 31, 2013 6:40 pm

Hello Fellow SILVER treasure hunters:

In February 2013, please post your finds right here.

HIGHLIGHTS OF JANUARY'S SILVER SEARCHING:

LOOKING FOR A DEDICATED INDIVIDUAL TO CARRY THE SILVER STATS IN 2013. I WILL HELP YA' GET SET UP, BUT IT'S A BIT MUCH FOR ME THESE DAYS. SEND ME A PM, IF INTERESTED. (I WILL CONTINUE TO MAINTAIN THE COPPER STATS.) IF NOT, EVEN WITHOUT THE STATS, I WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE THE MONTHLY THREAD FOR ALL TO POST.

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 2013 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 2013 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 February 01, 2013 mid-night forum time and later.

My first try at a full box in two years. Ordered it last week. Skunk. Got someone's dumps... ugh. Again (same as two years ago). I'm clearly in an area that has been and is being well worked, and the armored service for my primary coin teller seems to get someone else's dump for halves. I ordered one more for next week - I'll give it one more go before deciding this is too much trouble in the wrong place for it. If I could at least get a sealed box I would feel like I had a chance to be in the silver lotto.
