A Modest Mid-January Thaw During A Winter Cold Run

I haven't had much success while CRH since mid-November -- except for one Loomis box of half dollars that yielded 13 silver coins. That changed today when I acquired a Loomis box at my local bank (even though it didn't contain any silver "enders"). I had asked them to order two boxes.

I found a 1964 Kennedy half dollar in the 12th roll, followed by a less common 1964-D coin in the next roll. In the second half of the box, I found two Benjamin Franklin half dollars and two 1967 Kennedy half dollars -- and both of the Franklin half dollars are in better condition than the coins that I already had in my collection. The distribution of these silver coins is unusual: i.e., I typically find five or six half dollars that contain only 40% silver for every one that contains 90% silver. I addition, for some reason I've found more Walking Liberty half dollars than Benjis while CRH.

I wish Loomis had sent the bank two boxes because I think collection dumps generally are distributed in several boxes made from the same cache. I gave the teller a Starbucks gift card, and asked her to order two more boxes next week. Maybe my luck will continue.
