"Just Bad Form by N8dag8": rileyboy
Dear N8,
I read your post about some other CRHer in your area getting boxes that you had ordered and I was indeed sorry to hear that. As I was reading responses to your post, I came across one written by "ScottNVA". He mentioned that on two occassions the same thing had allegedly happened to him. He went on to say that a CRHer "ON THIS FORUM" had taken two of "his boxes" one at a time from a bank and scored a "significant coin find" posting it several times on the forum. He went on to say that it was like "lemon juice in the wound" and to watch out because there are "snakes in the grass." Many of the reponders were upset and wanted to know who or name the person who did that. Well, let me tell you all that I think he was referring to me,.....rileyboy. Yes, I reside in the Washington D.C. area and have met ScottNVA on one or two occassions picking up boxes at a specific BOA bank in the area. We chatted and he seemd like a very nice guy. So all of you reading this know.......there are many CRHers in this area and I have had the pleasure of meeting many of them. We have shared good ideas and have been very helpful to one another, so we don't get stuck with each other's dumps". There are so many banks in our area and it's very hard to know who orders from what banks, so no one ever knows when and if you will be ordering from the same bank and or branch. I, personally do not do a large volume of boxes. I always preferred to ask for customer wrapped rolls and tray finds. I have been CRHing in this area since 2002. I am a collector, not just a silver searcher. Over the years many people have joined the hunt and that's fine. Anyway....to get to the point. One day I went to a bank that I usually ordered two boxes from but hadn't been to in a while and asked if they had any boxes. I know they order many boxes a week for many CRHers and sometimes have a box or two left over. The normal teller wasn't there. The teller I spoke to said they had two boxes "if I wanted them". I realized that I didn't have enough money for both, so I took one box. I never asked them if they were someone else's boxes, I just assumed they wanted to get rid of them. I searched through the box a short time later and found a few keepers. I "dumped" the remainders got my money and decided to return for the other box. They said sure, "take it". So I took it. I had no idea that these boxes were "allegedly..as he states..."his boxes". Please be advised that these boxes usually arrive at this bank on Thursday and this is now Monday afternoon the next week. My guess is that they wanted to get rid of them. It was in this box that I found the 1869-S Seated Liberty that I have shown photos of. I just would like you all to know the facts. I am not a "snake in the grass" nor do I "put lemon juice in the wound" and I am disappointed that ScottNVA would think that. In closing, may I suggest to ScottNVA that perhaps he should pick up his boxes on time or advise them he may be a few days late and ask the head teller to put his name on his boxes.
Mistakes will always happen, but I certainly did not intentionally "swipe" his boxes and I'm disappointed that he didn't talk to me about it personally before posting it on the forum. I have sent him a personal message explaining all this and so far no answer. Now! in view of the aforementioned,
I think it is time that I now say good-bye to all you fine people on this form. I have noticed that in the recent months there is too much negative posting and "jealousy feed backs" that have taken this fine forum to all time lows. I know it's not just my thinking, because so many of the outstanding members (Silvercop, Arkiebassman, Mountainman2, Keverett, Maine-Jim, Scooba-Dave, LJ Timbobwey, Joad, RICH HARTFORD R.I.P.....and so many others) have simply gone off the screen.
I am very sad about that and I miss them.
So long everyone and I wish you all the best of luck. "It's out there for the finding."

Rileyboy: DON'T GO! Your posts are always welcome & I have enjoyed reading them. I agree with the others that the boxes are owned by the bank until someone buys them. I doubt that anyone would take someone else's boxes on purpose but the old saying goes you snooze, you lose. I get my boxes as fast as possible from my bank. If someone else got one of my boxes. I wouldn't be happy but that's how it goes. I always say "consider the source of the comment". I tend to think that the other person is having a "bad" day when they post or say a comment. Any way, if you do go I will be one of the many people who will miss you. Good luck with your future endeavors & hopefully you will be back.
