newbie here. I'm 5 days in and I think I'm off to a good start

Was looking for a new hobby and decided to give crh a try. I'm doing pretty well so far
day 1: got 3 40% kennedys from my dad to start out
day 2: asked the guy at my local bodega if he had any half dollars as I got my change and he handed me a shiny '68 kennedy. Then on the way home, I got $19 in lose halfs from the bank and pulled out 2 more 40% and a franklin
day4: got my first box, all skunks 46 rolls in and then boom, 3 '64 kennedys. (I found a clad panamanian half as well which was just cool)
day5: cashed in all my clad halfs and on my way out picked up $100 in dimes. When through them super quickly (just looking at the sides) and pulled out a '48 silver dime
I've also been doing pennies and gotten ~25% copper on $50, with 23 wheats (oldest =1925 x 2)

That's a great start, you are well on your way to a huge stack!

Great start!

Congrats

 

[FloridaFinder]

Well done!! Keep up the good work and the silver should continue to flow.

 

[SilverForBrains]

Nice start, you're working several angles which is the way to go! silver is where you find it!

 

[Weaselbrott]

Oh... I see nobody here has told you yet... Well this is awkward...

You sort of... owe us all of your finds for the first 6 months of CRHing until your CRH probationary period has been lifted. PM me for the address to send those bad boys. Also, you have to pay for the shipping fees.

Seriously, though... welcome to CRH, and congrats on your finds! Here's to more great finds in your future!

I'm surprised that you didn't mention anything about the "clad Panamanian half" (a.k.a. 1/2 balboa)? Did you get rid of your Panamaniophobia?

No, balboa's are still a death threat as far as I'm concerned, they all have GPS trackers inside of them, with some south american money launderers after you. I dont have a panamaniophobia, 95+% of them are probably good people, i'm just afraid of the gangs/money/cut-throats who deal in half balboa's/ half dollars.

I think they use cash. Whatever the case, 90% of bills have cocaine on them in the US. Circled is cocaine on a bill:

Good luck on your recent finds & congrats. Don't let the empty skunks get you down in the future, but keep a positive open mind to the hobby and you will do OK. A little at a time. HH
