4 boxes. Box 1 (9) 40%  , (2) 2002-date NIFC. Box 2 (4) very nice proofs, 1979, 1987, 1992, 1993. (5) NIFC. Box 3 (1) 40% (1) very nice proof, 1989, (16) 2002-date NIFC, (1) 2008 NIFC Magicians coin. Box 4 (1) very nice proof 1976 clad, (8) 2002-date NIFC. All these proofs looked as if they hadn't been out of the proof sets long, as in maybe this was their first trip into rolls. I received 2 very nice proofs last week and am wondering if these boxes are a continuation of the same dump. If so maybe there will be more nice proofs in the near future and more silver. All 4 boxes were Brinks boxes. They forgot to order my fed boxes again this week, 3 weeks in a row.  Edited by RCook

I have now gone through 36 straight boxes without finding silver. The only time I have ever found silver was with the first box I ever searched, and then, it was one 1968 half. I am expecting another box today, but I think if I hit 40 skunk boxes, I am done. There are easier ways to find silver, and it's just not fun anymore to keep getting skunked this much. Idunno, maybe my opinion will change before I hit 40. Just glad to see some people out there are having luck (and GOOD luck it seems, to be fair).

Skyshark may I ask where, in general, you're located? I've looked through boxes on the west coast, Midwest, and east coast. I've found more silver on the east coast by far. I attribute this to higher population density. That said, in 63 boxes I've found only about 40 silver coins!

I have found 45 Silver halves in 81 boxes. Found 16 Silver Halves from $53 worth from teller tray. I like the teller tray odds better. Just takes longer to find.

i had another good 4 boxes, no skunks, 4 x 90%ers, 28 x 40%ers. Opened these with my girl. She was really good at the edge searching. I faced search after she edge searched and she didnt miss any. And then she found something that astonished me! a 1936 Long Island Tercentennary commemorative half! mintage of only 100,053. There's another one off my list. so grateful to be on this vein.    |

I finally got a good box on Thursday. Box 1 had a nice toned 1951 Franklin ender (which now has roller damage ) and a 40% bottom ender I missed. 2 Franklins, a 1964, and 5 40%ers. That's better than all of last month combined so this month can;t be any worse than the last. Box 2 had 2 40%ers. Last 2 boxes were skunks.   4 boxes today. All were Loomis outer boxes but one was full of S & S wraps. Not sure how that works. 1 box had an ender. 2 40%ers, 2 stickered, and a couple of NIFC. The box that had the S & S wraps had a 1917 S (reverse) Walker, 2 Franklins, and 2 40%ers. The other 2 boxes were skunks.  Edited by jack jeckel

Nice classic commem skibdib.
The only silver commem I have ever found was a 1982 Washington.
Of all of the Walkers, Franklins, silver Kennedy's, my 1892S Barber, errors, doubled dies, proofs, silver proofs, foreign jobs, and modern commems the classic commem is the only category that still eludes me to this day.
