Went to the Houston area Thursday. All the banks had were machine rolls. I got $100 and in the sixth roll I found a 1964.
Too many hunters in that area, so I decided not to get any more rolls.

I think Texas Tim has got Texas cordoned off and has bleed the silver river dry. He does throw a 64 out there every once and a while to get peoples hopes up.

thats not too bad for machine rolls JJ. i hardly ever find more than a 40% or 2 in machine rolls i come across. i try to find the customer handrolls or loosies. they seem to have a higher # of finds for the amount searched.  and if you have the funds and are able to get bags from a coin counting machine, you're finds will increase even further. |

You must be spoiled with that Louisanan abundance of silver. I would call one 1964 out of 10 rolls good odds. Especially if the roll were unopened, there was probably more.

The most marked coins I've ever seen. I called a Chase and they said a guy looks through rolls and all the banks had were machine rolls. Might go back for Thanksgiving.

Tx Tim is a great guy........But he finds ALL the good stuff in the Houston area.... A trip here would be a waste of time. HH Gayle

Silvercop, I wish I knew. Sometimes ya hit it good, but sometimes the goodies are just not there. Seems like Tim says things are better in La. I got 7 boxes of halves on Tuesday.....8- 40% in the first box.....other 6 boxes were shunks..... BUT I will take the 8 keepers, and be happy.... HH Gayle
PS...You might want to visit the Pasadena Coin Club coin show in the Marriott on the Gulf Fwy,
(I-45 south)this weekend. I picked up some SL quarters for $3.75-$4.50. I am happy.
