Started the week off with a bang!

[namster]

I decided to hit up some more banks for CWRs, in an area I had not hunted yet near my wife's work. Stopped at three banks in total for about $200 in CWRs and some loose halves. The loose produces a 65 and 68. Opened the rolls with my wife during lunch, two of them displayed 90% enders, a ben and a 64, so I set them aside. $180 of the rolls were skunks. The two with enders produced:

60, 63, 64x5, 65, 66, 67x3, 68x4

I have kept a very useful strategy secret for some time but I thought I would share today. If you have a child, 1-2 years old, bring him/her with you when you plan to hit up banks where you are not an account holder. I have NEVER been turned down for coin as long as my son is with me. When he is not, its hit or miss.

Picked up two boxes of halves also:

1) Skunk
2) 67x2

HH everyone!

LOL - I'll just wear a burp rag on my chest, like I am trying to put one to sleep - maybe a little of my own spittle on it.

We all appreciate the unique angle to get the coin, namster - for reals!

Nice only got a silver dime from a box today :|.

 

[hotrod]

Nice score

 

[Gilmore Happy]

Nice find Namster on that roll! FYI, another great way to score silver is by sheer brute force and maximum intimidation. I guess the son/daughter method is a bit more gentle, but hey to each his own.

Very nice finds

 

[coincrawlin]

Sweet score.

I've also found that when my wife and kids go into the bank asking them to order boxes they have much more success than when I go by myself.

Glad you scored today! That must be exhilarating finding 90% enders in a customer wrapped roll

 

[Numismaniac]

Nice score!

Sweet finds dude, and as I follow your posts on here, I get the strangest feeling we are in each other's territory (I could be very wrong). I have seen a CRHer in one of my banks depositing halves with his son. The "kid card" must really work for a ton of stuff. Well played, sir, and happy hunting!

Im certain we are a few thousand miles from each other, if you are really on the east coast. HH!

Nice, 15 keepers out of 200 in cwr's is awsome, less to dump too. I take my kids with me every chance I get when asking for loose or CWR's, They just love my 2 yr old daughter, and if they have any loose halves, I hand them to my son and say " there ya go, they had some for ya", I let him keep some of the silver we find too when he hunts with me. HH,maverick.
