Just finished up my last 4 boxes for this first week of this New Year, with 11 more pieces of silver, That makes 22 pieces of silver for the week and a good start to this New Year. Sauce outstanding way to end the year, awesome numbers. I pulled 1-64D, 1-65, 1-66, 6-67, and 2-68. I did have one Ender which is always nice to see. Trapper also another great start as well. Wishing you all the success in 2017.

nice finds all, looking good! I did 4 boxes today. 3 skunks. The other gave up 3 x 40% and 2 x 90%.
But the 90% were both special. And one was really special. Gonna make a separate thread for that one :-)

Well, how about another highlight, still in the first week! Today, I had my first score with customer wrapped rolls. I have never gotten a CWR that produced any silver, and Ive only found a few rolls at that. Today, while dumping, the teller mentioned space in the vault. I asked her what was in there, and she said someone had dropped off halves and small dollar coins. I asked about the halves, they came from some small grocery market. $190 worth. Of course, I bought them all, and she was glad that she did not have to ship them out. She dropped one on the floor during the transaction. I heard silver. When she pushed the broken roll and coins to me, I saw several silver rims. All rolls held silver. the least amount was 2, the most was 10. some rolls had extra coins, and 1 roll had a susan b anthony in it. Below is a breakdown of the rolls. After roll 1, they got searched in the order of lightest to heaviest. roll 1 - 5 x 40% (the broken roll) roll 2 - 2 x 40% roll 3 - 4 x 40% roll 4 - 5 x 40% roll 5 - 4 x 40% roll 6 - 7 x 40% roll 7 - 6 x 40% roll 8 - 6 x 40% roll 9 - 5 x 40% roll 10- 5 x 40% roll 11- 7 x 40% roll 12- 8 x 40% roll 13- 7 x 40% roll 14- 9 x 40% roll 15- 2 x 40%, 1 x 1964 roll 16- 9 x 40% roll 17- 6 x 40%, 1 susan b anthony roll 18-10 x 40% roll 19- 7 x 40% I was of course blown away, 114 x 40% and 1 x 1964. Right place, right time.      but wait, there's more! 4 boxes today. None of these boxes had the same stamp yesterday that I was looking for, but it worked out, in the end. box 1: skunk box 2: skunk box 3: 1 x 40% box 4 had an ender that I saw immediately before the box was fully open. That roll turned out to be my first double ender. A 1966 was on top, and I flipped it over to see a franklin! box 4: 10 Bens, 2 Kens, 3 x 40% 50, 52x2, 54, 57, 59d, 61p, 62d, 62, 63d,     So grateful for these finds, best of luck to all next week, I hope it keeps flowing for everyone.

Congrats skibdib on both the 2014 and the CRW score.
I would have thrown the 2014 aside as with all NIFC on oddities but after looking at a few more coins from the same roll I know I would have had to stop, set the remainder down, process what I thought I just saw, go back to the save pile (vs crap coins to be marked and the 1974D to be looked at later pile) and take minute to reexamine the coin I just put on the top and figure out what just happened.
