Excellent, picking up more!
Personally, I do most of my CRH with a loop.
For two reasons:
A) I can manipulate changing the angle I'm looking at the coin. Sometimes, a slight angle (therefore, also a change of lighting) can reveal something which you may not see if only looking straight on with a scope. I often angle a coin slightly under the scope also, to see / photograph.
B) I'm sort of the opinion that, if I can't see it with a loop, it's not worth it to me to keep.
All that said, I've upgraded several times from a $19.00 scope to my current Elikliv EM4K. More than sufficient for my level of searching.

Very cool you got another of those boxes, look forward to seeing your finds! As for the scope, they don't even have mine listed for sale anymore but there are a pile of different ones out there. Just do a search on the bay or Amazon for "microscope camera" and several will come up. Congrats on the new baby!

This story just keeps getting better. I went back....again. Although I thought it was the final box last time, they had a few more and I was able to snag those. All in , I'm at $40 in the boxes and some loose rolls. Definitely the greatest score in my decade of CRH. Final counts.

Most look to be obw. several may have been tampered with at some point
10 rolls of circulated wheats (still need to open/search but looks to be 30's to 50's dates)
1 partial roll of steel pennies (labeled "lead coins" LOL)
54-D
60-P
60-P (NOT OBW but UNC)
63-P x 2
64-P x 5
64-D x 2
65-P x 3
66-P
67-P x 2
67-P x 1 (double tails but marked 67-P)
68-P x 2
68-S (Not OBW but Unc)
68-P x 2
69-D
70-D x 2
71-D x 2
71-S x 2
72-P x2
72-D x 2
73-P x 2
74-P x 4
75-P x 2
75-P (NOT OBW but UNC)
74-S x 2
75-P
79-P x 2
80-P
80-D x 4
83-D x 15
84-P x 9
Double Enders OBW unknown x 10

Maybe I will crack them open for errors or high MS coins someday but I hate to open them.. this was a KILLER HAUL!!! Definitely the most excitement I've had CRHing!

I would have a hard time not opening the 72P and 84P rolls.

Those dates/mm got my attention too!
