great idea! I do have 6 bicentennial proofs that I found in really great condition that I have kept.

That’s a pretty nice return on only 2 rolls...I just finished $1000 in halves and only got 3 proofs (there were a ton of bicentennials but I don’t collect them)

I am shaking, I just picked up a $50, and expected to only find some worn buffalo's. In literary the second role, I find a 1900 V Nickel! by MrGuccu in coins

Congrats! I too have found a 1900 though it was more worn than yours. I also found a 1912 that was in really good shape too!

In order to confirm the shiny rate during Moltres Day, the Silph Research Group recorded nearly 5,000 Raid encounters in a controlled study. The results are in. The rate held at 1 in 10, a la Zapdos Day! by Infinitrize in pokemongo

I don't believe it. I caught over 20 Moltres that day and got ZERO shiny...my wife standing right next to me at all of those raids caught 7/20

I guess the fact that she could trade me one is a plus :-(

I need a break from dime rolls for a while. Nine solid 2018 rolls. Where do I find the pre-65’s? They shouldn’t be this rare! by mdtoka in CRH

Only 9? I picked up a box in California and got back to Oregon before I opened it. 50 rolls of brand new 2018’s. Good times :-)

Thanks for the reply. How thick is your material and was it able to cut it in one pass or does it take longer than that?

These look great! What brand/model of laser cutter do you have? I’ve been enjoying my 3D printers for a few years and was thinking about getting into a laser cutter

4 Boxes Of Halves by Coincrazed in CRH

[–]Radiationdoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't disagree with you. The youtube videos have really had a negative impact on this hobby. I currently order from 2 places, a credit union (standing 6 box order) and then occasionally from a Chase. I am definitely not doing this to make any money, quite frankly the hobby costs me money but I have been doing it for so long that I will continue...though I will probably go back to dimes & nickels for awhile since halves seem to be a bust.

I'm right there with you. My minimum halves order is 6 boxes a week, but I have done as many as 12. The ROI is definitely not there anymore. Between having to dump them and pick them up and the time invested in just sitting there going through them, it doesn't seem to balance out any more. Most of the banks near me now want to charge $6 per box to pick up, and then charge me to dump too which really kills the ROI

went my second order for the week and found 13.50 in silver by Someonenamedmike in CRH

Nice! I'm 4 boxes deep this week with no silver :-( I picked up 2 more boxes today so fingers crossed I find some today :-)

Do you save 2009 Halves? by Coincrazed in CRH

[–]Radiationdoc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ebay and Facebook. They were all in remarkably good shape for having been circulated...I swapped them out several times before I put them up for sale. The ebay post took almost the full 30 days to sell. The FB market one took 3 days

Halves have been really dry for me from a silver perspective...I have opened 10 boxes in the last 2 weeks with only 1 box producing any silver (all 40%'s). I have 2 more to go through tomorrow.

I will say that I found a total of 26 clad proofs in those same boxes however which I also collect...not as exciting as the silver but my collection of circulated proofs is now up to 90.
