Box 26 of 26 had a good amount of pocket lint and a 1965, 3 1967's, 2 1969D, and 1 NIFC. This was my most productive box ever, which pales in comparison to some lucky folks. Oh well, I still enjoy looking through halves now and then.

I'll try and summarize my finds in the 26 boxes soon.

Happy hunting everyone!

I finally got around to searching my last box from Thursday's pick-up. Again skunked on silver. Only thing worth keeping were (8) 2002-date NIFC. My silver skunk streak is back up to 12 boxes. Only 1 box of my last 32 boxes has contained silver. I'll try again this week, sure hoping to see some silver soon!!

Hey guys 90% rubbing alcohol will remove magic marker without hurting the coin. Just put some in a cup and swirl it around and it comes off, if any stays use a Q-Tip. I guess you can use Everclear too. hickup!

Denatured alcohol works way way better and will take it off almost on contact and probably wouldn't hurt the coin either...

I am surprised to find a 2015-P. Is that a common find these days?

Acetone works great. Just make sure it is 100% (read the label).

Someone in my area has been dumping lots of 2015 halves, combined P&D I have over (100) 2015's. I think I've found at least one 2015 half every week now for close to 2 months.

My understanding is that they are NIFC, too - correct?

Correct. They have all been since 2002.

I was supposed to get 2 boxes for last Friday, but the shipment never came. Instead, it came today, with 4 boxes! I asked them to get me 2 more for tomorrow.

box 1: 3 x 40%er
box 2: 1 x 1962, 1 x 1964, and 8 x 40%er
box 3: 5 x 40%er, 1 x 2008s silver proof!
box 4: 1 x 40%er

This was my 2nd silver proof, this time I recognized it as soon as I saw the edge. They really do look too good to be true.
