Awesome! That's some fun hunting when there's a payoff like that. You need to take the tellers some dessert, too.

Another box with silver Enders. 2 40% Enders and 3 40% in the box total. I would've thought more but certainly not complaining My experience is that I generally find fewer silver coins in a box of bank-rolled half dollars with silver "enders" than I expect to find. The rolls in one box display 100 ends: i.e., 10% of the total number of half dollars in that box. Therefore, if a box contains three silver enders, I would expect to find 30 or so silver coins in it. But I typically find only half that number of silver coins -- or even a smaller amount -- in a box with three enders. Once I found a box with two Benjamin Franklin enders -- but they were the only silver coins in that box! I think the explanation is that because silver coins are slightly heavier than cupro-nickel coins, they preferentially wind up at the end of a roll. But I can't prove this. I also find more obverse silver enders than reverse silver enders. I don't know the reason for this outcome. |

Quote:...Lightening struck twice. Two boxes each contained one silver ender, and I found 40% silver Kennedy half dollars in all three boxes. The boxes with enders contained 18 silver coins. I found three more silver half dollars in the third box. To top it off, the reject tray of the coin-counting machine contained a silver Washington quarter and a silver Roosevelt dime... Outstanding! They certainly earned their pizza.  |
