*Official April 2013 Half Dollars and Other Coins

Postby Country » Sat Mar 30, 2013 5:26 pm

Hello Fellow SILVER treasure hunters:

In April 2013, please post your finds right here.

HIGHLIGHTS OF MARCH'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 April 01, 2013 mid-night forum time and later.

Quick question should I get bank rolls of customer rolls??? All bank so far and nothing. I heard the sort out the silver. Is this true and should I switch to customer rolls?

Get what you can. Its the tellers that sort the silver out. But most do not. There is a better chance in scoring silver in the CWR's except the rollls with an X marked on them. But get what you can and start searching.

Avoid those customer wrapped bank rolls.. those are the worst. If it is a machine wrapped roll that is crimped on one end and manually closed on the other you can be pretty sure it is from another sorter that did not even both to change the paper.. especially if there are a lot of them.

One of my tellers sorts out the silver.. then tells me what is in the rolls. In December he hooked me up with a batch of 23 rolls that had 90 40%s in it. :mrgreen:
If your percentages are low.. just sort more. If your percentages are high.. just sort more

Box 67 - 3 = 67x2, 69
Box 68 - 0
Box 69 - 2 = 67x2
Box 70 - 0

Loomis:

Box 2 - 2 = 48, 64
17-1976 = 19

Dimes

Box 2 - 0 mostly 2012's
Oh, this is the worst-looking hat I ever saw. What, when you buy a hat like this I bet you get a free bowl of soup, huh?

Oh, it looks good on you though.

Well, this weeks batch isn't starting out very well.

Half Box #141 = Skunk

Half Box #142 - Skunk
If you are waiting for the "correction" to buy you need to realize that the increasing prices ARE the correction.


$100 Silver soon coming to a location near you.

I've only done 2 boxes this year, but have found 3 quarters. I honestly don't expect to find any. I search the boxes for 17-1976 quarters (childhood thing) I figure any silver is just a bonus.

Nope, Not rare. However in MS state they are valuable. No Mint sets were issued by any of the mints in '82 & '83 so those coins are more valuable than face if the condition is AU-Mint State. Keep looking.
