That was an excellent box and far better than average. You did hit the jackpot!

Nice picking.At least you get boxes to go through. My area banks have NEVER had a box(or many rolls for that matter) of halves.

Why couldn't my first box be like that? Or the 1000 I've done since...

But welcome to our humble community!

Thank you everybody for your comments and the welcomings! and to numismo, try ordering from banks in your area. The banks around my place are pretty firm on their rules and so I have to call around. I ordered from a Wachovia bank and I wasn't required to have an account with them either.

i have gone through 2 boxes and come up with nothing. But I have gone through customers rolls and with one roll I found a proof halfs. (some silver proofs some regular) with that roll I found a 1970d. Great luck but now its going to go sour. Your next box will not turn up anything.

Depends on where your at. Uncommon, no. Just dont bet that every box you get will have that much in it.

Yep that's called beginner's luck. When I started 3 years ago, I found an 1894 Barber in a cwr. My best box had results similar to yours. Anything's possible!
