  • Hey everyone! Chris here! Welcome back to the channel for this Halftime production. We had two full boxes and one partial box. This $1300 quietly produced some big time numbers. And we even found a variety! I was not expecting to pull these kinds of numbers based on the ends I saw. Doesn't Coin Roll Hunting rock?!
    That silver total continues to climb. We've no eclipsed 300 silvers for 2023. Can we pass my annual record of 331?

    Nice finds! I got 6 boxes in yesterday to carry me over the next couple weeks and ALL 6 boxes were brand new 2023P.. Disappointing is an understatement.

      I feel ya. Fortunately I've generally avoided brand new rolls. I did have one 2023D box but haven't seen another since. Thankfully...

    Merry Christmas, Chris. Finding silver has gotten tough. But it's still out there. I don't believe 90% of these videos have seeded rolls.

    Fantastic hunt. I have never found a silver roll hunting. A lot of NIFCs. But no silver. did find 2 40%ers in a coin star once. That was cool...

    Great hunt there! Always love seeing silver in rolls. The 1982 looks good, but I'd check it under magnification. I've gotten my hopes up a few times, only to see the FG under my microscope.

    • @half_time
      @half_time  Před 6 měsíci

      Yeah. Not 100% on it. More like 95%. But it's pretty scratched up it wouldn't hold much value.

      Many of my boxes are sourced through WF. But not all.

  • @georgesenda1952
    @georgesenda1952 Před 6 měsíci

    Where are you ( and the other people who show themselves going through boxes of rolled coin ) getting them from ? My credit union and 2 banks have told me they cannot get full boxes of quarters, halves, dimes from the Fed. I dont know if they are telling the truth or not.
    I live in Martinez, Ca. in Contra Costa County 33 miles northeast of San Francisco.

    • @half_time
      @half_time  Před 6 měsíci

      Had a problem for a few months due to a shortage of them locally but I don’t really have problems with the willingness of most banks to order or give me some if I’m not a member. WF is the best at ordering.

    as a 4 year crh im trying to understand how some folks can have this kind of sucess when most ofus get skunked. are you in a large urban area? or a small city. are you working with corprate banks or credit unions? these videos alot of times dont go into any explanations about the details. tips for your viewers would be helpful. thank you .

    • @half_time
      @half_time  Před 6 měsíci

      Hi Mike. Appreciate the questions. Purposefully keep the location details a little more obscure for obvious reasons. But I'll answer. I'm in Iowa. I don't limit any bank I approach. Many I'm members of, many I'm not. Loose, customer rolls, fed rolls, I go after anything really. I go around to many different places but I do have a few select national brand banks order me boxes.
      From July-October it was impossible to get boxes around here due to a shortage. It's finally returned and this latest batch since Halloween has been superb. Boxes have never really been huge, heavy hitters for me. I usually find my best successes in bank bags or customer rolls. Thanks for watching.

    I'd fathom a guess that 90% of these box hunts on youtube (or more) are seeded rolls. My son and I got into coin hunting and bought thousands of dollars of rolls and pulled very very few silvers.

    • @half_time
      @half_time  Před 6 měsíci +2

      You might find a couple channels trying to pull wool over eyes. I am not one of them though. From my clips... these were all professionally crimped.
      You are right though. You can go thousands of dollars without seeing much. That's just the way this hobby is!

    • @silverlicious2086
      @silverlicious2086 Před 6 měsíci

      @stevesimons2641 Let me shed some light on this subject. When Chris said "That's just the way this hobby is" he forgot to add the word "now". Now-a-days coin roll hunting is drastically different than when I started in 1985. CZcams started in 2005 and that's when having success with coin roll hunting boxes started to decline. Today, searching boxes is just a shadow of itself of what it was first like. No disrespect to Chris (the owner of this channel) but because of people publishing videos of this hobby and how to do it, has diminished the returns of coin roll hunting to almost nothing these days. The success of this hobby was already ruined well before Chris started his videos.
      When I started in 1985 I was finding full bags and boxes stamp dated from the 70's of silver halves. Kennedys, Franklins and Walkers. Banks back then had these silver bags/boxes collecting dust in their vaults. Some in circulation but not as many as the Fed thought there would be. The 1985 silver spot price was $6.00/oz and further declined to less that $5.00 though the 90's. Less than $4.00 at one point. Hence the stockpiles in the branch vaults. Nobody wanted them. I literally was leaving full bags/boxes of silver behind because of my limited resources. I never told anybody about it. Why would I want to ruin it for myself? I wouldn't and I never did. I assumed there was a handful of other people doing like me, but I never once ran into them. I had a twenty year head start before CZcams ever uploaded its first video in 2005. This is why you get box after box of clad halves these days. From all the content being created over the years, about this hobby, it has led to the demise of searching. Boxes specifically. Some silver can still be found in boxes, but the resources, time and energy spent far outweigh the success. Those days are long gone thanks to Coin Roll Hunting videos on CZcams. Sad but true.
      As far as boxes, If you are in it for the fun or adventure, by all means have at it. You might get lucky and find a few, but don't be surprised if you search and search and don't find any.
      Also, Chris personally knows my story. All of which is true. I have searched a large portion of this country over the years. I can say with confidence that Chris is not seeding boxes. In fact, if you look at his 2023 total. I believe it's 311. By comparison I found 21,467 silver halves in my first year in 1985. By 1989 I broke the 100,000 mark. By 2005, when CZcams started, I reached a total you would not believe. There is no sense to even say it. When the Coin Roll Hunting videos started, I started to peak out and it dropped off fast. So fast that I stopped searching boxes years ago. For me, It was no fun anymore and became way too much work for almost nothing.
      I'm sorry for sounding like the profitable part of this hobby is dead, but I'm just keeping it real. Like Chris said, you can search and search and not see much. I never liked how CZcams dismantled this hobby... at least as far as searching boxes is concerned. Everybody started publishing how to do this and that was basically it's downfall. There are other ways to search, you just need to be creative about it.
      I wish you all the best luck and you can still enjoy what little is left within boxes.
