I've happily completed 8 full Jeff sets from circulation. Found most double-dies, RPMs, OMMs and a slew of wicked errors. The secret?
Have 2 strokes within 6 months. Initially began getting my fingers moving, flipping each to view both sides. Couldn't get away with it in the hospital,
but I kept well stocked in the convelecent hell-hole. I'm back 75%, walking, talking and being a general pain. I scour through at least 10,000 pieces per week.
(4 boxes) My high is 21 Buffs with dates from a single box. Ditto on another occasion, 30 wars. The most lucrative have been the 82's & 83's, with a roll of aUNC '82P's netting me $110.
While the silver is drying up, its apparent collections are being dumped. (3 UNC & 1 BU 50-D) This is my take, Fine or better, from the last month:

All '60's-present in UNC. I pulled mutiples, even rolls of many dates. Probably the biggest shocker was a nearly flawless '51-S
BTW, '09P's for the month is @ 36, while the D's @ 6. And that's in Idaho.
