I was able to pick up 5 boxes yesterday and here are the results
NIC-3
Proofs-3
40%ers-34
90%ers-4
Franklins-2
I guess I dint do so bad this week.
I am going to pick up 1 more box during lunch time today but its from a bank that I usually dont get much silver from. So far I have 2 banks that order boxes for me that I really appreciate because I always find good amount of silver in their boxes.

So I expanded today to banks out of town. My second bank I went to the teller comes up to me and has 2 loose and 2 rolls. She said the two loose where silver before I even looked at them and I was like sure yea Ill take em. So I got back out to the car took a quick look at the rolls and they were both solid 40% with a few 90%. All JFK. Needless to say I was real happy. Continued on into other towns and found two more rolls that were about 50% full of 40%'ers.

All in all 4 90%
56 40%

Raised my spirits from my crappy skunk boxes.

I was surprised for sure. I am going farther on down the road next time to hit more of the "out of the way" towns.

Tls867, yes, that's the P and D I got! Can't believe you just got that D, what a coincidence! The P will turn up, be patient.

Stopped at a bank yesterday on the way home. Had a good feeling that there was silver there. First teller only had 2 halves and neither were silver. Second teller said she had some and how many did I want. I asked her how many did she have. Since she only had $5.00 worth, I took them all. My gut feeling was correct! Of the $5.00, there was $3.00 worth of 40% silver (67 & 68).

I dropped off 18 rolls and ask if they had any I could take in return. The teller came up with 25 rolls, and after looking at them I was pretty sure it was a dump. I was right; no silver, but someone over looked a nice 1974 DDO. That was worth it.

Twangator and motos, you guys must be on some other planet. Our dry spell continues--9 boxes. Hell, that must be some kind of record. But, this is the thing. I'm finding, on the whole, the tellers are getting smarter. Their IQs seem to be directly correlated with the price of silver. As silver goes up, they seem to be asking, more and more, "You're looking for silver, huh?" Followed by, the old, "Sorry, ain't got none." Yeah, sure.

eddiespin - come to NJ. All the tellers here seem to be dumb as bricks, unless it's all an act of course...
