*Official March 2013 Half Dollars and Other Coins

Postby Country » Thu Feb 28, 2013 7:04 pm

Hello Fellow SILVER treasure hunters:

In March 2013, please post your finds right here.

HIGHLIGHTS OF FEBRUARY'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 March 01, 2013 mid-night forum time and later.

A rather inauspicious start to my new halve source.

Picked up the first 2 boxes this week.

Is it possible to do worse than a skunk? Yes, it is.

Box 1 - Skunk .. 1 half dollar was only half size.. a clad quarter actually
Box 2 - Skunk .. 1 half dollar was from down under.. had a cute platypus on it.. and a 20.. pretty sure that is well below current exchange rates.

Well.. this week should be better.. even if I get skunked on my 2 boxes.. it will be an improvement. :mrgreen:
If your percentages are low.. just sort more. If your percentages are high.. just sort more
