crh

I have only been hunting for about 7 months seriously, and would love to see a lot of the older members returning to this section to comment and give perspective to all us freshmen. I think we all know the CRH culture goes through waves, and all sorts of characters come and go, but for those of...

If you've hunted long enough, you've experienced your share of rude tellers and their baloney. Teller: "Do you have an account with us?, "We can't order half dollars", "Coins are for business customers only", "We forgot to order your coins", ::klinks silver behind the counter::, "You can not...

My vacation is over fellas, I'm leaving Skunksville Jackpotropolis, here I come! I've missed you! Had a slow and rather unlucky start to 2013; many many skunk CWRs and half boxes, box order delays (holidays) and ordering troubles, rude bank tellers, a lady trying to dump a large handfull of...

Teller: "Those aren't your coins in the reject tray...You come in with half dollars." Eminem, I'll throw you a couple 90%ers to take care of this rude teller for me.... In the past, a friendly teller at my dump bank; today she gave me a rough time when I asked to take the reject coins out of...

Hi Folks, Happy Holidays! I had a great score today on halves. I picked up $2K from a bank that has been pretty lucky for me in the past and today was no exception. I ended up finding 38 silver coins in that 2K! Box one just had one 40%er. Box two had just one 40%er. Box three had 21 40%ers...

Just kidding, Happy Thursday! Having the skunkiest week since I have started, but tomorrow I am off of work and plan a suburban customer wrapped coin search. Please send all your good luck my way! :)

I am not anti-gun or anything, but I don't think we need to go around showing off and talking about our guns here without there being a good link to CRHing. I've seen a few articles today, and not quite sure why the guns are trending today... I get the connection between guns and silver, trust...

I have really been very tempted to trade in some of my coin roll hunting finds for gold lately, and today I did just that. I traded 7 rolls of 40%ers ($70 face), and 4 rolls of 90% FDR dimes ($20 face) for this beauty: And then I bought this one with some savings: Before you tear me a new...

I got a haircut today: I found this 1898 Barber half while searching through the second to last roll of $250 in string and sons (yellow roll). It was the sole coin found from the batch, and was actually an ender on the bottom side of a roll I had already unraveled :BangHead:(I would have taken...

So I caught the silver bug a month or so ago, and ordered some silver bullion online, thinking that would take care of the bug. I was wrong. I have been looking at ways to find silver without paying spot for it and I came across this wonderful website. Since I am a noob to this, any...

I was just wondering if there is anyone out there that has ever tried to do business directly with a company like Brinks or Loomis, that provides the coins to the banks. Ultimately eliminating the bank fees. Jamin_03

No cups actually...but since you clicked... Had a really great box today. The banks only had one box for me. This box had the same 4 digit code as my last 6 boxes from this bank from last week, which only gave up 4 40%ers and 1 90% ben (every other box was a skunk). I had no expectation of...

Hi guy! Here are my weekly totals: This came early in the week, and was very pleasant to see. Came from a box. Went to a new territory and found some CWRs. Had only $20 in half dollar CWRs, but here is the first roll The second one was also quite awesome! And the box to close out the end...

This is a mixed bag, and I know you all have vastly different opinions on here regarding your "competition." I personally do not care about competition (In all the territory I have covered in the city and the burbs, I don't have a whole lot), so long as I am getting fresh boxes from the bank...

Had a pretty good week this week: 8 boxes of halves gave me 6 90%ers (4 walking!, 1 beat up Ben, and a 1964JFK) and 9 40%ers. 2 boxes of dimes gave me an 1899 Hong Kong dime (80%), a rosie, and found two rosies and a Canada 1940 silver dime(80%) in a reject tray/tube). 3.838oz this week or a...

He would have been a she, and called Victoria, would be 80% silver, and would look like this: Needless to say, one of my coolest dime CRH finds to date, and oldest wild coin finds. Just one box of MWR dimes yesterday and I found her, and a rosie. It is amazing how well kept this coin is, and...

This idea just came to me the other day, and I am sure I am not the first person to think of this. A new CRH goal of mine is to pay for a trip to Canada and Europe (UK) with all the Canadian and Euros/Pounds I am finding in coin rolls, as well as in the reject trays of coin counters. This is...

It's Ag October: Tonight is Night of the Walking Liberty + Have you walked the plank? I walked the plank for the first time today! I call finding a walking liberty ender "walking the plank" (yes I just made that up, maybe you'll try it on for a fit?). Searched 3 boxes today from two...

Yesterday was a wake-up call for this novice half-box searcher, and should serve as a warning to not always depend on edge checking for silver (as many have stated on here before). I was doing my first box of the day yesterday, and I found one measly 40%er that was very light pinkish and worn...

PARENTAL ADVISORY: Silver XXX. Lighting struck again: Weaselbrott's amazing week So I expanded my territory today... Worth it... But first.. I had a busy week with half boxes. I did 11 boxes this week, which is a personal record for one week. I also had 5 skunk boxes, which was also a...

There are people who are on here from way back when. I would like to know what the biggest known silver career accumulation is. Are there people out there who have literally retired off of CRHing? Millionaires? Hundred-thousands? I am not talking about silver's future, we all know its going to...

This has worked for me several times and I am just sharing what I think is a decent piece of advice on getting more silver in your pocket when you notice another customer at the coin counter has it and doesn't know or care. The story: Teller is helping another customer to dump their coin jug...

If you are a CRHer from the ghetto, then you know exactly what I am talking about. These are places where people go and cash their paychecks and usually end up paying a fee to cash checks. Some of these places also do currency conversion and other stuff depending on if you are in a high-tourist...

I demand congress to cull these cullers from culling our treasure! I mean, how do they report their profit from the cull? Where and whom does it go to, and is it sold/traded/etc by it's silver content or face content? Do they have to report to theIRS or is it all tax-free free silver? We need...

I just got a yellow H.F. String & Son box from the usual bank, but I noticed there was no stamp on the box at all. In it, I found two 1964s and nothing else. This is the first time I have found two 64s in one box, but also without any accommodating 40%ers either. What is up with that? I have...

I just started CRH about a month ago and man this is addictive! I picked up two boxes(Brinks) from my local bank yesterday. After searching, this is what I found: Box 1: Skunk Box 2: 9 40% (2-'69,2-'68,3-'67,2-'66,1-'65) 4 90% 3-Walkers ('36,'43,'46) 1-Frank ('63) And 1 '82 God color...

Great teqhnique for getting all of the Bank's customer wrapped rolls Bring some machine wrapped rolls with you to exchange for customer wrapped rolls, and explain why you are doing so. Has anybody ever tried this? I am sure a bank would have no issue doing this, and might even invite the idea...

Here is my weekly finds from 9 half boxes, reject tray gave me a couple of dimes, and CWR dimes: 16- 40% halves 2- 90% halves (Ben, Walker) 8- 90 dimes 1- 80% Canadian dime 3.6684 oz of silver at a current spot of $126.38 Here's to an even silvery October, autumn and beyond! :walk:

I've been around the CRH scene for a few months now, and have been a lurker of the scene since 2009. In that time, I have noticed there are a few different techniques that the pros use to get silver, and some pitfalls to them. I will list what I see, and feel free to post yours. 1. High volume...

A week in coin roll hunting finds (3 boxes of halves, 2 boxes of dimes, and mixed customer wrapped rolls). 2.46oz of .900 silver. A current melt value of $85.47 (as of 9/22/12). I will be heading to two new bank branches in the next town over and hope to score some CWRs today, then I am...

Went to a new branch of a bank that I stop at on my lunch breaks when I am at work. They do three coin orders per week and I asked them to tack one box for every order. This is an extra $1500 in halves a week to search in conjunction with the one box per week from another branch, and the two...

Every Monday is Precious Metal Monday; so long as a bank is open and has rolls for me! After a Sunday with no banks to get rolls from, doesn't Monday always feel like a holiday (work aside, of course!)? Anyway, on my lunch today, I went to a new bank branch (out of the hundreds in the city...

Hey guys and gals. I just came back from my "lunch" which is really just becoming a coin roll hunting mission. What I do on these missions is go to one bank to dump, then go to another to get coin, then another to dump, etc.... I go to a total of 3 dump branches of my bank per day on an average...

Did my usual lunch walk today and picking up coin rolls along the way, asking tellers for the older coinage. Nobody had custi rolled anything, and nobody had any halves either; nut-thin!! Every so often, I have a day where I don't find a single silver coin, and today was my day. Don't let bad...

First of all, how would you react when you see something like this?: I went to one of the many banks in my home area the other day requesting a box of dimes. This was the first time I had requested so much coin from them, and they told me they would call me the following week to let me know...

So I recently stumbled onto the concept of this coin roll hunting and was immediately interested, so I went ahead and ordered me a box from my lifelong banking institution. It came in and I got to checking it out and lo and behold - four '64s and forty three 40%ers. I'm hooked.... So much so...

My Dad was unwrapping a box of Garda-wrapped penny rolls yesterday and found this coin that says "Silver Circle .999 Fine Silver 1/10 Troy Ounce" from the Golden State Mint in the middle of a roll. I thought this was a cool find -- probably worth at least $3.

This is the result of my mission from this morning. I woke up this morning and had a real itch for some silver. I decided to do a bank tour around my town. I mapped out the banks I wanted to go to, and asked them for customer wrapped coins if at all possible, otherwise I would snag up as many...

So I went to get my now bi-weekly order of halves at work yesterday. This is the second time I have CRH for halves, usually pennies. However, I am enjoying pulling silver a lot more than copper. This time I had twice as many boxes but got the same number of keepers. Last time was 2 boxes...

so i've been lurking this place for a number of years, never posted until now. all of your posts in this forum inspired me to do some coin roll hunting. today i took a hundred dollar bill to a local bank and grabbed up 10 rolls of half dollars. i managed to pluck out (3) 40%ers, 1968D halfs. not...
