So frustrating. picked up my order. Teller says, you're the 3rd person today

So, like the title says, I went to one of my pick up banks to pick up my 2 boxes of halves. The teller says to me, wow I dont know what it is, but you are the 3rd person TODAY who has come in here for fifty cent pieces that they ordered. Third person today? I said. Yep. Today.

I feel like I totally missed the bus on this CRH'ing thing, I have only been doing it for 3 or 4 months now. Is it just me or does it seem like it is absolutely exploding lately? it went from a few (which considered by most to be a few to many)... To where it is now, which for me, I dont even get strange looks anymore when I ask for halves, I get the eye roll..... Like, there is another one of those weirdos asking for halves... Nope, we dont have them, we never do, and your the X person today who asked. Or even better, you walk into a bank only to hear a guy in front of you ask, do you have any halves??? Nope. Then its my turn, Can I help you sir? Ummm, Yeah, I uhhhhh.... I forgot my wallet, its in my car, I'll be right back. I dont neccessarily care that there is more competition, I feel like those who are willing to outwork the competition will win when it comes to CRH'ing (which I am willing, and I do). What worries me the most, when I think about how long or when it gets to the point that Brinks, Loomis, etc... decides they have had enough, or the banks for that matter.... I hope it doesnt come to that, but like everything else, I dont know how it doesnt.

Happy hunting, I will post results of the two boxes later.

P.S. I was asking a week or two ago about weighing rolls..... It is absolutely NOT accurate. For me anyways. The very first roll that was 226.25 grams got me excited, cause I knew... Silver. and yep, there was a 90% kennedy. Since that 1 roll, (5 boxes ago) There have been 3 rolls that weighed over 226 grams, not one of them had silver of any kind inside... So the four heaviest rolls out of 5 boxes, and only 1 silver, there were a total of 7 silvers outside of that 1 90%er and over half were in rolls that were less than 225.50 grams. I am very surprised at how innacurate weighing them is.

I'm sorry to hear that about being the third person already, that kinda sucks. :-\. What you said about CRH and how it has exploded, made me feel kind of guilty because I just started a month ago ::), but I get what you mean, I actually found out about CRH by browsing around for anything about coins, I've always liked them but never really knew or got into the details. That's really weird about the whole weighing of the coins, I wish I knew why they are that way. I wish you good luck RockDoc!

I wouldn't worry about brinks or Loomis stopping anytime soon. Along as they get paid theyll deliver the same coins all day.

Don't worry.. coins are meant to be circulated. They're not meant to be sitting around in vaults like those dollar coins. I'm sure they'll be glad to distributing them. I think they'd be more upset over taking them in and storing them.

Yep, don't weigh - it doesn't work.

Nah, it was like that in the late 1970's too.

Bottom line is the world is run by money...

Brinks will always deliver because they make money....
And banks will start passing fees to us as the hobby increases....

It's a no brainer, BOTTOM LINE. As the price of silver rises, more and more stupid hunters like the guy in parking lot, will force the banks to pass on fees.

World is run by money.

Sounds like I might not be getting my dumps back then. Hopefully they all go out to the competition.

I got some info on dumps too this week. My buddy is a banker at wells fargo and he said that the brinks guy told him that they think its amazing that all the people who order boxes just to try to find silver still do it... He said that ever since they realized people were just ordering boxes of halves for the silver, they just take the dumps and throw them in front of the hopper so those are the ones that are getting wrapped again...week after week after week....
