I just found my first 82 G.W. Comm last weekend and I am still stocked. May the silver gods bless you and the rest of us the 2nd half of the year...

How many rolls of each denomination did you have to go through?

Wow , very strong showing for the time involved !

I'm curious as well. The Dime totals are impressive, I'm over in the Northeast and netting 1 to 2 Roosevelts per box is what I'm averaging for the past year or so. In relation to those numbers, that would mean 40+ boxes that I would have to search.

Great job so far PMG. Good luck in the second half of the year.

Every week my banks order me 5 boxes of halves, 4 boxes of dimes, 2 boxes of nickels and 8 boxes of cents. In addition I pick up several hundred dollars of CWR's.

Okay, so that is inline with what I am seeing on average as well. Figuring 4 boxes of dimes x 4 weeks per month x 6 months = approximately 96 boxes which works out to just under 1 silver dime per box.

Thanks for the info PMG!

Very nice first half stats.

It's a small sample size, but I've done 10 boxes of dimes without one silver dime. I have much better luck with bags off the machine at a branch. I averaged 2/bag on 5 bags last year and so far this year I'm averaging 4/bag on 12 bags with another bag waiting in the car to be searched!

That bag I had in the car had 3 silver Rosies.
