There have been more good finds than poor finds recently on this thread...Congrats on the good ones!

I'm preparing to travel to one of the destinations where I typically look through boxes of halves. In this case, I lost my good setup for depositing coins I've searched because the buddy of mine who was coin vault manager at a CU left his job. I'm debating whether or not to place an order for boxes of halves given I don't have a good deposit setup. If I do place an order, it'll be a modest 4 boxes because I do not have a good deposit setup. The last 26 boxes I looked through at this location yielded only 12, 40%-ers, so looking through 4 boxes this round may not be worth my time.

Any thoughts from those of you who enjoy this hobby as much as I do?

4 more boxes today
box 1, 3 enders 19,40%
box 2, 4 enders 18,40%
boxes 3 & 4 skunks
That puts me at 105.58 ounces of silver so far this year
I'm hope to hit 200 by years end

90% halfs are becoming scarce!
Last year I found 157 40% and 56 90%.
This year I am at 187 40% and 19 90%.

Yes I am on track to double my 40s so that is good. I wonder if people are becoming more aware of the 90s now? Either way I am still finding something.

Ordered 3 boxes.

Box 1 was a repack, all rewrapped rolls (Brinks rolls in a Loomis box).

Box 2 had nothing.

Box 3 was one of my better boxes.

7x 40%ers
3x 64s (one was on the end of a roll)
1x 63-D Franklin (my first Franklin from a sealed box)

4 boxes from Friday.

One box had a reverse ender that was on the bottom of the stack so I didn't see it until I unwrapped the roll. That box had 3 40%ers.

The only other items of interest were 3 NIFC and a 1967 British penny.

Best hunt to date for me:

Two boxes on Friday, I think I got a partial collection dump with box 1 having 3x 40%, 4x Proofs (1987-S, 2003-S, 2004-S, 2005-S) also hit two milestones in for me including 1st walker 1940-P, oldest half found in the wild, and my first commemorative, 1986-S, Nation of Immigrants (clad).

2nd box was good, just not as great as the first! 3x 40%, 1981-S, and 2006-S.
