Super Bank Box Of Halves

I agree, Coppernickeldaddy, you've earned, really earned those wonderful finds....and I too, thank you for posting the stats of your finds.

Thanks, everyone! I was looking through the box sitting in my car downtown outside the bank, and if it had been a warm day and I had the windows rolled down everybody would have been startled to hear "A BARBER!!" (might have been some other unprintable exclamation before that, too!). Anybody can find great stuff, just look at foundinrolls's web page of his finds. That's impressive!

Working on a cent box right now; I usually take awhile to do a cent box, as I work mostly with nickels and halves, but I couldn't just do a few rolls a day with this box! With 8 rolls to go this box has already given up 63 wheat cents, including 6 Steels! The oldest has been a 1928. Mostly average circulated, except for a sweet shiny 1950s. Looking forward to the rest of the box!

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!

Ended up with a total of 64 Wheats! Another bank I need to go back to tomorrow; maybe they have more boxes from the same run!

And little do these people know, as they tote their silver coins to their banks to be rolled up and deposited for face value that they are spending the one thing that, as inflation runs rampant and consumer prices rise, the value of it is going UP!

You know with finds like that one......... it SHOULD give us all hope that we too can have this stroke of luck......
But I'm betting it's like winning the lottery ! Only the fortunate few.....

That is awesome great find. I hope to find boxes like that! I know they are out there. I found 1 box last week with 70 40%'s and thought that was awesome but a barber rocks!

Good luck on that new box.

As someone just getting back into the hobby all these roll searching posts have really got me excited to try it out as a way to rebuild my collection!

OK; here's the breakdown of the good stuff; I did record every date and I will put that on the JFK Half Dollar analysis post.

First of all, two foreign coins, which unfortunately I had to replace with halves (I don't think either of these coins were worth 50 cents each)! They are:

1975 Italy 100 Lira
1992 Germany 5 Deutschmark

Also found two proofs:

1987s
1969s (circulated enough that I'm just going to throw it in the junk silver, but you can still tell it is a proof

And a grand total (including the 69s) of 58 silver halves (16 90%, 42 40%)

3 90% Kennedys (2 of them "D")
2 Franklins (52d,63d)
11 Walkers (35,41,(2)42,(3)43,43s,44d,44s,45)

and, NO BARBER!!

Still, more silver than the first box a few weeks ago! Looking forward to tomorrow's box; I'll report the results
