Dont want to get dogged in August

[The_EE]

Well. August is here and its hotter than sin outside, not that it would stop me from CRH'ing.

6 boxes of halves

Box 1: 2 Bens, 1 Walking and 1 Magicians coin. One Ben and the walker were in the same roll, third opened in the box, I figured it would be an awesome box, it wasnt.
Box 2: Skunked
Box 3: Skunked
Box 4: Skunked
Box 5: Skunked
Box 6: 2/40% - 1/90% - 1/Franklin

Last two months have been heavy with Bens which has been rather odd. I did expect more out of this week but this is week 1 of a 5 week hunting month, its my free week so a little over 2 oz isnt a bad thing to pad the stats with.

Dimes and Nickels tomorrow. 7 boxes of halves next week.

Its below average right now.

My 90% Average for this month is 0.47 per box while for the year its 0.67 per box. May, it was 1.11 per box with 28 boxes searched and 31/90% found.

I meant to say ratio, not average.

Dimes and nickels tomorrow and likely will be picking up an ounce or two at melt from the local coin shop just to get me a little closer to my goal before the final 6 boxes of the month. I will at least put that $2.79 into a free silver dime.

So I hit the auction today... I needed my fix.

I picked up a sterling ring on accident, I thought the ring I was looking for was in that set of choice when it was in another so I just grabbed the largest one that was there and sucked it up. I picked up the sterling bracelet with the 14kp necklace before someone else got them and in that exchange I

$17.50 - Sterling Ring (0.0922)
$25 - Sterling Bracelet (0.8208)
$10 - Sterling Necklace Thick (0.3217)
$10 - Sterling Necklace long (0.3093)

$62.50 for 1.544 oz of silver totaling $47.59

$40 - 10k Ring Black Hills Gold (0.0134)
$40 - 14k white gold ring (0.0544)
$25 - 14kp necklace (0.0187)

$105 for 0.0865 oz of gold totaling $144.45

Over all I made a few bucks to throw into the safe. paid $167.50 for $192.04 worth of PM's which is a win in my book and to top it off, I learned a little something about gold while I was out there from the guys at the coin shop and knowledge is power.

6 boxes of halves due on Friday, hopefully those push me over the edge.

 

[The_EE]

Looks like in the next day or two I will be buying 20 quarters and 5 dimes off a friend who is in dire need of some cash. I will be paying spot of course but that will get me very close to my goal for the end of the month. Hopefully the 6 boxes of halves push me over. with the 0.2 oz or so I will be needing.

 

[namster]

Heres hoping for a pile of silver in those boxes. This week has been bleh for me.

 

[The_EE]

Well, the month ended alright.

Purchased the 5 dimes and 20 quarters from my friend. He had a death in the family and wanted to help with funeral costs of his step brother.

Found out today that starting Tuesday I am down to 8 hours a day 5 days a week, I will be losing 15 hours of OT a week unless they need me to stay later. I told them I will more than gladly work more hours if I possibly can. I can survive on 40 hours a week just fine, I just prefer to sock away the extra 15 hours of OT as a nest egg.

So.. onto todays boxes and Customer dumps.

Box 1: 1/40%
Box 2: 7/40% - 2/1964 - 4/Bens
Box 3: 5/40%
Box 4: 2/40%
Box 5: Skunked
Box 6: 1/40% - 2/1964

1 - Bag of $100 halves, skunked and short $19. I will call tomorrow and make sure she had it logged as a $100 bag and not a $81 bag. If she had it logged as a $100, I will ask her to recount them a second time before I receive them. This makes $44 lost so far in 2 bags, $18 in $100 of halves and $26 in $1000 of quarters.

Kind of gives you an idea of what I am used to seeing in a month and what I saw this month lol.

Holidays are coming and people will be dropping coin into the counters to buy gifts so we should all start doing much much better. Last years in Jan was phenominal for me.
