Today I acquired two more boxes of half dollars that a bank in a nearby town ordered from Loomis. No silver enders were present in either box. One box contained nothing interesting -- and too many 2021 half dollars. But while opening the first 25 rolls in the second box, I found one "unattractive" Benjamin Franklin half dollar, one uncirculated 1964 Kennedy half dollar, and one circulated 40% silver Kennedy half dollar. I kept my fingers crossed that this box also contained coins from the same collection dump that I found on Friday (in a box I acquired from my local bank), since both banks order boxes from the same Loomis facility. Indeed - in the second half of the second box I found two more Benjis, seven more 90% silver Kennedy half dollars (including three minted in Denver), and six more 40% silver coins. Three rolls each contained two silver coins -- and one had three keepers.

This is quite a "hot" streak during two consecutive CRH days: i.e., 11.6+ troy ounces of silver. Because the number of 90% silver coins was equal to or greater than the number of 40% silver coins in both of the "rich" boxes that I recently acquired, I think each box contained coins from the same collection dump. Regardless, I'm quite pleased to have found eight Benjis and 16 90% silver Kennedy half dollars so quickly.

As a bonus, the reject tray of the CoinStar machine at this bank was quite full. I found one Mercury dime, a silver Roosevelt dime, several common US and Canadian coins, and a large number of Euro coins.
