have you heard the saying monster box of halves, what does it mean, well I see it as a box of half dollars they come $500 in a box 1000 coins,that contains a boat load of silver, but what would be your number to consider it a monster box there is 1000 coins so would 20 silver be your consideration of a monster box...so whats your number.......  also coin roll hunting is so addicting after you find a silver coin, I could find 100 silver coins in a box and not even be finished with box and looking for next box, always want more its never enough....  |

 My number in the old days was 40+. Today I would consider 10 silver coins in one box of $500 halves a monster box. |

To me a monster has always been when there is silver in almost every roll with plenty of Enders .... Extremely rare... I'd say when there is over 100 silvers In a box.

Yeah 2+ rolls at least. 100 is a good threshold

You may be speaking of a "dream box", at least that's what we've called it the last half-dozen years...100+ pieces of silver pulled from a $500 box of halves. A "monster box" - sealed, $500 box of ASE's, from the mint. When I listen to LED ZEPPELIN...so do my neighbors...

coinsrus,
You'd think finding a monster box would just fuel the fire but it did the opposite for me. You feel like its all down hill from here. I've heard others say the same. I'm sure there are exceptions.
btw, I kept searching after my first monster box. I was lucky enough to find a second but stopped searching all together within a month or two. I still love coins and enjoy reading about CRHing finds.
OO

Well the farther we get away from the silver days, the less of it that remains in circulation. If you guys would stop hoarding it, the rest of us could!

My friend the silver was tough to find in 1980. Silver dimes hard to find. silver halves too. (we threw back the 40%)loL Lots of silver to be found back in 2007 when I got back in! Still much silver out there if you put in the effort - When I listen to LED ZEPPELIN...so do my neighbors...

I'm just bummed. My credit union said they had a huge pile of half dollar rolls but they had locked the vault as it was almost closing. So I come back Monday and I "just missed them".
