It has been a mostly fun 10 year run at CRHing, but KT has just decided that if there is no half dollar box this coming week, that will end it for good. When KT looked at the diminishing returns over the past couple of years, plus the bank's change of attitude from service to the customer to What...Me worry?, KT has had enough.
Below are listed the totals for KT's 10 years of CRHing, so everyone can see what His Majesty accomplished in that time.
Grand total Halves searched - 4,670,000
Grand total 40%Ag halves recovered - 2,808
Grand total 90%Ag halves recovered - 823
Grand total Proofs recovered - 670
Grand total NIFCs kept - 7,152
Grand total foreign coins recovered - 63
Grand total Bank Overage paid out - $990.16, and this does not include the 3 gold rings KT found rolling around in the machine...2 14 Kt ones and 1 18Kt!!
During the closure of the banks when Covid hit, in that year, KT purchased 41 40%Ag halves and 484 90%Ag halves, this was when rolls of 90%Ag halves could be purchased for ~ $160/roll.
Total silver scrap value amounts to: 40%Ag halves, found and purchased = $7,807.53
90%Ag halves, found and purchased: $8,759.85
So it has been a good run overall, but like all things like this, eventually the effort and frustration, plus time and fuel costs out run the fun! KT is glad he did it and will leave this legacy collection to Prince John. He may be able to purchase a new car with what he gets out of it, once KT has passed. And if for some reason the price of silver goes sky high in the next few years, KT will cash it all out and just leave him the money!
Besides KT has a couple of new to Him shotguns and .22 rifles that have been needing custom camoflage painting, and KT will enjoy doing that this fall.
There are also several new fluorescent minerals on their way via USPO, and KT has already made several silver half purchases on eBay today, so life moves on!
When the coins arrive, KT will post them in this thread topic of CRH, even tho they will not technically be CRH, but purchases as viewers know where to look for KT's coin comments!
