Today, I called the bank that is suppose order me a $1000 every week, but never got any except for the first week and they only got $500. They said they only get what they send, but I don't think they order them. But anyways, I called and they told me someone deposited $930 at another branch 20 minutes away. They said it was an older woman and she said that she had them for a while. So, I immediately went there and picked them up. My hopes were really high but you just never know. I ended up with only 2 40%. They were 2 68's. The rest of them were all 70 dates. Nothing in there over 1979. Seems like I missed it by a decade! Oh well, I am happy!

Nice finds, carloscoria and Silver Eagle...

No silver out of the 2nd half of my box, but another nice proof! Also 4 NIFCs.

I know this is not the right thread, but that is the best part.

Last four boxes for the week yielded me 2-64D and 2-67 and 1-68. I thought I was going to have a horrible week six pieces of silver I will take it. I still haven't had a skunk week since I started. keeping my fingers crossed it doesn't happen for a while. I truly thought I would only get 1 for the week. July has been a decent month for me in the past. Not a great start for July. One of the 64s was an ender but I missed it until opened. Hope you all have a wonderful week. I hope Silver prices stay above $20.00 an ounce. Keep stacking!
"LOVE THE HUNT!"

Nice on the silver, arby96... I was skunked for silver in my box this week, but at least I got the two really nice proofs...

Unbelievable. Wish I could say the same thing. I do 6 boxes a week and as I recall I once went 3 weeks without a glimpse of silver. When the silver finally did show up again, I think I only got 1 40% that week, but oh what a beautiful sight that 1 little piece of silver was. Sure does get discouraging closing in on 20,000 coins and no silver.

4 more boxes yielded 2,40% and 1,90% my fourth lowest week of the year so far, at least it was not a total skunk.
I had one total skunk week in January. I only did 6 boxes this week normally I do 12-14, my 6 box order on Wednesday
did not come in so hopefully next week will be better.
Good luck to all and may your boxes be full of shiny silver and other goodies.

Bank vault lady called yesterday and said she had my box of halfs, told her I could get it before 5:00, was trying to mow the lawn and had a flat tire. Opened the box and searched the ends, then both ends, had one that looked like a 40%er. And it was the only silver in the box, a 1968 D. Better than the last 2 boxes both skunks, from a different bank, still Loomis rolls. This box had very nice NIFC's I saved one each of the '05, 06, 07, 08, and a few other dates. These dates included both P & D. Webekin
