4 boxes.
Box 1 skunked.
Box 2 had 1 ender. Most of the coins were what I would call "gritty" felling. They had a scum layer on them and they didn't slide off of each other easily like most coins do if you are holding a stack of them. I have encountered this type in the past a few times and speculate that they come from water fountains that people throw coins in. And as nasty as they are you usually find silver when you get a box of gritty halves. Ended up with 8 40%ers.
Box 3 had 1 40%er.
Box 4 skunked.

Nice find a nice semi-key date 1949D nice pull. Puts my 1956 golden toned Benjie to shame in terms of rarity.

and a 1987p Nice finds!  I would have loved to find that 1949-D! About half of Franklin half dollars came from roll finds, but that was not one of them. |

Slim pickings, but one is better than none. Hopefully your next four boxes are more productive.  |

I occasionally pick up a box of halves (going through one now) and I usually get some not-intended-for-circulation halves. Why are these in circulation? Do people really bust up mint sets and cash in the half dollars? Do folks buy them from the mint at a premium for that year and then later spend them as 50 cents? Are kids breaking into Dad's collections for smoke money? Yeah, I save the NIFCs.
Still looking for my first CRH proof.

Now that I have things worked out and another dump bank, I'm ready to get back on my normal 6 boxes a week. Hopefully I'll be able pull some silver and other nice coins. First four for this week will be in tomorrow then 2 more Thursday. I hope there's more keepers this week than last, when out of 2 boxes the only keeper was an impaired proof.
@ Silverstacker Kid, nice hit on the 40%'ers.
@ Trapper, very nice '49.
@ Skibdib, nice pull on all that silver!!
Hope y'all left some silver for me.
