Congrats boristhespider88 on the silver proofs.
I have only found modern silver proofs once and they were all in one box and like you I think there were 5 or 6 of them.

I decided to get back in the hunt. I ordered 8 boxes last week and picked them up today. The combined results are:
10 Clad Proofs (76,78,80,82,87,89,90,92,98, and 2000)
2 1987-D
27 40%
1 1961-D Franklin
1 1946 Booker T. Washington Commemorative.
I'll try to post photos later. I'm always fighting with the camera on my phone.
I returned the 87s and the Proofs back to the wild. I'm only collecting Silver at this time. My collection was getting out of hand. About a month ago, I turned in $350 in copper Cents, about $120 in pre-60 Nickels, and 99% of the minor error coins I had laying around. Like the 1974-DDO Kennedy. I saved the best looking of them. I still have over $400 in Ikes and about $100 in rolled, by date, pre-60 Nickels that I will be keeping. I just needed to scale it back a bit.
I'll be getting between 8 and 10 boxes a week as long as the Silver is flowing. Good luck to everyone.
**Edited to correct the total of 40% from 47 to 27**

Thank you for the kind words jbuck, skibdib, arby96, and jack jeckel.
@skibdib - Each roll had at least one or two clad proofs in them, I can't remember how many were in each, but there were a lot of uncirculated looking coins (plus the 9 clad proofs I mentioned). Those were some crazy fun rolls to search.

I ordered 8 boxes... When you say this are you saying that you simply called your bank and asked for 8 boxes of Kennedy halves. How many per box? Also, do you ever get any resistance or push-back requesting this? |

$1400 in halves today, $400 worth CWR. Box 1 had a 1976-S and three NIFC, and box 2 had a 1969 and six NIFC. The CWR was a skunk. Overall, a bit disappointing but it could have been worse.

Skibdib, it is crazy. Here is a pic of the coin. Sorry for the bad pic, like I said, I often fight with the camera on my phone.  mdpmedia, yes I just call my Bank and ask for the amount I want every week. Lately it has been 8 boxes. Each box is $500. There has not been any push back so far. The Manager didn't even blink when I first ordered them. Most likely because this is a Business account and a Business Bank. There may be different results at other Banks. |

One of my banks didn't get the halves they ordered for me this week, so instead of my usual 6 boxes I only got 4. This is not the bank that usually doubles the order when mistakes are made, but this time without me asking they said they'd double up next week. If everything goes as planned next week will be 8 boxes. I missed my 1 oz. per week goal again this week getting 4 40% .5916 oz. 2016 year to date silver 51.4574 oz.

I stopped at a bank in a grocery store today while out running an errand. This bank USED to be a hot spot for NIFC dollar coins as soon as they were released from the mint. I don't know if someone has a subscription from the mint and just doesn't want to cancel it or a collector dumps the rejects from rolls or bags ordered from the mint or whatever. I haven't found any NIFC there since the Kennedy dollar came out and I got 1. Today the teller said she had $8 in halves. As she grabbed the stack from her tray I could see the bright and shiny rims of new halves. I figured they were probably some NIFC I had spent in the area that somehow made them back to a bank. As she was stacking them in piles of 2 I could see the high relief design  Scored 10 2016P halves.   |
