66 - 6.50 %
67 - 32.52%
68 - 33.33%
69 - 8.94%

I haven't found any walkers or ben's yet but 90% Kennedy's are 13.82% of total.

It looks like we're all pretty much in the CRH bell curve. '64 dimes must be the most found. Does anyone want to weigh in on the distribution of nickles?

I've only done one box and had 1-65, 1-67, 1-68, and 3-69's. Where can you buy 50 cent paper sleeves? I've only seen the variety packs.

Ask for wrappers at banks and cu's.
I usually ask for 1/4 or 1/2 a inch worth so they don't try to only give me 2 or 3 at a time.
If they ask why, tell them "the weekly poker game".

Ok...I'm new so I get to ask 1 dumb question...per day...so here it is...what is it you prospect for when CRHing if it isn't silver?

Copper

I have found in a year and half:
Walkers: 8 (1.5%)
Bens: 22 (4%)
1964: 83 (15%)
1965-69: 434 (79%)
1976S: 2 (0.4%)

Also (for perspective)
697 (US & Can) silver dimes, 112 war nickels, and 2 US silver quarters

Finding a Walker or a Ben is exciting, but most silver halves that I have found are 40%ers.
40%ers had a high mintage (over 800 million between 1965-9)
They are the last made for circulation US silver coin.
Only in the last few years has their melt value been very much higher than their face value.

Don't keep track of that stat as it takes all my stat time to keep track of which banks have silver , reoccurring , dumps , reoccurring , competition , reoccurring or passing thru, and tellers who collect. I have 5 binders with maps and stats from NY , CT , PA , NJ and special trips.
