Jesse...it's not a huge deal but Pitboss has not only been a believer from the start but also a much more involved contributor than you to the conversation along the way.
You shouldn't show such disrespect to Pitboss, "The Godfather" . Why do you show such disrespect on the day of his daughter's wedding?
Mamma Mia! I just hope you don't own any horses!
On another subject, wish me luck on today's purchase of another bank box. When will I find the Big One? 006 with the major obverse and reverse die cracks????
Guys, my computer is all screwed up today. First it took forever to change pages on the forum then AOL bit the dust on me and the print on the computer is so small I can not even read it. I will need to take it o the genius bar at apple to get it squared away because I know $hit from shinola about computers.
Pitboss.. if your computer has "time machine" on it simply go back to the last day your computer was working fine. It will automatically restore and you won't lose any data previous. Also,
this website was very slow for me too but another thread suggested installing (free) adlock plus programming. I did that and instantly was back up to speed. Try it before you pay someone
at the geek outlet. Might save you a few bucks and some valuable Ebay scrolling time! Good luck!

Sorry, I didn't know you wore your panties so tight. I can only hope you would forgive me for such an aggregious offense.

In re-reading some of the early posts in this thread yesterday I was reminded of my own shortcomings that Papi was more than happy to point out...such as not searching bank boxes and
limiting the major errors I would find as a result. My biggest scores from a bank box to date were the Wddr-016 and 025's . There are also Lp2 box dates and times noted in this and other related
threads that would be helpful to you Lostincoins. Go through these threads and make notes. It will make your searches that more precise on the Lp2 boxes and save you money by
avoiding the duds. The bank boxes are still a crap shoot (mostly crap) this late in the game as others have pointed out. Good luck in your research and future searches!
They come off the presses into bins and are then shipped out in million coin lots to others who then roll them. There could not be as many errors as you are finding in any one box. I have seen 3 or 4. The bins fill up and are replaced with new bins before that many dies could have been replaced.
<< <i>Curious, has my advice been construed as other than what it was intended, or am I reading into this statement? >>
No to the first part of your question and Yes to the second part.
Your input has always been constructive, educational, and direct to the point Papi...
You have been one of the strongest contributors to the conversation and promotion through the years. No one would question your intentions. Nor should someone question mine.
P.S. I mentioned purchasing a bank box on Ebay yesterday. I wouldn't have purchased any without Papi's advice/insistence earlier in this thread that I needed to in order to find errors
not found in the Lp2 boxes. My best finds...Wddr-016, 025, and 076 stage C die crack reverse. This new box was purchased from a seller that mostly deals in jewelry and has no listings
for errors (another point Papi made about avoiding obvious recycled/rewrapped coins) . I'll let everyone know if it happens to be a winner for errors. Wish me luck. Thanks Papi !
I have found $ different errors in the bank box. The others came from the $80.00 box and from these boxes so maybe some confusion as to where they came from sorry about that.
It will get more and more confusing as you purchase more and more if you don't record the date/time of each box with what was found inside that particular box before moving on to the
next. I use simple sheets of paper that I have in a folder. I can cross reference most dates when I'm shopping to make sure they fall within the date/time parameters for the best errors.
Bank boxes are a little different but you can make a note of the seller, number the box, and record your findings just in case you want to go back to that source for more. I have not
found all of the "keys" yet. That's why I keep records...to avoid pitfalls ... That's part of the fun of the search...right??? Keep believing and searching!
That guy with the 4/30 boxes has had them up before ( same picture ). You are bidding on one box only in that auction and the times are not that great on any of them. $12.00
The 4/28 boxes are a weak date and I would not bid high on them either.
I am negotiating a deal with a guy right now that is why I am asking he does not have any of the key dates listed. I will be getting 5 4/28 and 5 4/30 boxes. I wanted to know so I do not pay this guy to much. would 140.00 be good for all including shipping?
both dates are early to mid morning and it is 5 4/28 and 4 4/30 I am just going to get them and hope my luck holds for some decent errors . I did good on that $80.00 box with the 9 006 errors
In all honesty, there is a high degree of competition for these boxes. There are many of us on the forums AND lurkers who want exactly what you are looking for -- not just in the last month but for several years. You have been advised by many on this forum to do your homework to find for yourself the good dates and times. The clues are out there for those who seek.
To expect everyone to just fess up to our long-enduring and articulate homework over the last 4 years is just not going to happen. As these become more and more scarce, there will be more competition. It would be great if everyone posted their findings, but in reality it is not realistic when $$ are at stake as the values rise.
On the other hand, your zest for learning and interest is definitely inspiring for all of those on the forums. THANK YOU for your contributions -- as well as all others. You WILL get help for basic questions on the varieties. But the future is bright for this series and we all are watching carefully as it unfolds. Welcome to the HUNT!
Cheers -- AK

I know the dates and times are good that has already been established. I wanted to figure out a good price for the boxes so I bought them. I have no problems with posting my findings as it will help other new people to this series and will create some excitement. I am getting 9 boxes and will document them here for all to see. As silly as this sounds the money is not a concern to me, if I am doing the right things the money will follow it always has been this way for me. If others want to lurk/hide good for them they can learn from my posts also. The more knowledge imparted to these fairly new errors the better for all those hoarding right now as prices will continue to go up but that will only happen with more supported exposure. I am going to bed now because for once I am tired and it is 12:30 am here. Good night and thanks all who are helping me and any others in need of help.
this si what I was told was good to buy how should I adjust this list? 4/17 all day 4/23 7 am to 1 pm 4/27 most all day 001 and 002 4/28 good off and on mostly 992 4/29 morning and early afternoon 4/30 early morning 001 002

You are right Papi, most of the good ones come in the mint boxes not the LP2's but collectors can get started easier with the LP2 sets because all the known good coins are listed there.

Jesse, congrats on posting #2000, now on to #3000.
Found two of the rolls with 002 on the end, kept them, and opened up the others.
Found a bunch of 001 and 002's.
Don/t usually buy those boxes as I have plenty of 001 and 002 but they came with some 4/23 bpxes so could not refuse them.

Not only that, the despicable fraudster took 5 coins from the P roll and just folded over the end.
Didn't even try to replace what was taken, or even try to make it look like it wasn't opened.
The problem, it was bought so long ago, I don't even know who sold it to me.
I took the roll out and it had a 001 on the end of the roll.
That sure surprised me as I thought I had a bad one but it turned out it came from coins left by the guys father.
The 4/28 boxes are a weak date and I would not bid high on them either.
If not early morning times it will be like throwing money out the window.
The 4/28 are a hit and miss deal, sometimes chicken sometimes feathers.
Hard call without knowing the times on the 4/30 boxes.
Anybody else with their 2 cents worth or in this case $140 worth?

4/17 all day

4/28 good off and on mostly 992
4/29 morning and early afternoon
4/30 early morning 001 002
It is an opportunity for someone to pick up the basic coins that we collected 4 years ago.
They are still out there although not in the quantity they once were.
The $25 mint boxes containing the bulk of the errors are few and far between now and very expensive to chase after.
You can burn yourself out in a heartbeat chasing errors in them and lose interest in collecting them.
My advise on them is to pick up full rolls of those coins as they are still fairly cheap, but not for much longer.
Stick with the errors that currently have cherry pickers numbers assigned to them.
Lecture over.
Have a great Thanksgiving everybody and don't eat too much turkey.
I have not followed this topic in detail.
I would very much appreciate any info on whether my four LP2 boxes might contain any goodies.
They are all marked: 9883 08:01 04/24/09
Thanks very much for any info!!
Happy Thanksgiving.

What a bummer - surrounded by good dates.
It's interesting how they skipped around days with the same errors.
