People have to stop believing that brinks, garda or anyone else who delivers coins to the banks "searches" them. How in the world would they have the time? First off, they have to count them and then "machine" roll these to go back out to the banks. I really don't believe they have something built into these machines that would sort out silver otherwise people wouldn't continue to have the occassional succeses they do. (and I'm talking about BRW not CRW). The fact is though that these stopped circulating over 40 years ago and people realised back in the 70's that there was a profit to be made pulling them when they went out of circulation. The majority of them were pulled then, we're just getting lucky now to be pulling what they have missed over the years, what others didn't even no they had, and what people now don't no what they have and turn back into circulation.
While it's a small number of folks, I've talked to around 50 or so people about what I do (friends, co-workers, family and the such) and none of them even blink an eye towards interest in it. And a lot of them didn't even no there was still silver in circulation.
The fact is, you're going to get skunked WAY MORE than you're going to be succesful. The posts you see on here about some of those guys finding ANYTHING over 10-15 silvers in a box, be it dimes or halves, are the exception, not the rule.
ok, off the soap box. To the original poster, was she saying that brinks or garda were searching them? Or was she saying the bank was searching them after delivery and before giving them to you? If it's the banks and they give them to you re-wrapped, I'd hand them back and tell them to shove em.....................well, you get the point.
