That is a very nice mixture of silver you have there especially the Mercury dimes.

My last 4 boxes of the week
3 skunks and 1 very gooood box with 10 enders found
85,40%
6,90%
All but 8 of the rolls had silver, best roll had 6
I found 153,40% this week that ties my best week for 40% I had last year. I believe these halves are from the same dump most of them a fresh and clean. Hopefully I can catch some more of them next week.

OMG Trapper Fantastic, Chet awesome, I know I will hit numbers like that this year at least once, When I see pics like that, it gives me faith I will soon score. I have learned also it doesn't matter where you dump, I get loomis and Miracle, I don't dump at the bank I get the Miracle boxes and I get coins I marked all the time in those boxes. I was just surprised to see a coin I marked a week ago. That has been the quickest return of a coin. Love seeing all the pictures please keep posting them and your awesome finds. They give me great hope and I know I am due a long skunk streak and I will need those posts to get me through it. So impressed with all the awesome finds.

Box 2 had 1 40%er.

Box 3 was a skunk.

Box 4 had 2 40%ers.

Box 5 was a skunk.

Box 6 had 1 40%er.

Box 7 had a 1970 40% proof (I think this is my 3rd 1970 proof to go with my 3 or 4 1970 UNC) and 2 rolls worth of NIFC.

Box 8 had 2 40%ers and a proof.

Thank you ( trapper,arby, jbuck, skibdib, berto, john77 and RCook ) for the responses to last weeks finds....Finished off my four boxes from friday last night and will post results for those here in a sec..

Trapper that was one heck of an awesome haul you just had.. literally had me drooling with envy lol.. One day I hope to get even half the numbers your getting but I'm happy to just be finding it consistently.. Certainly hope your luck continues my friend as I love seeing your finds.

Arby I have seen you pull some seriously impressive hauls as well and I'm sure you have some shiny stuff coming in your future as we all know its a numbers game... I too fear the long skunk streak as it seems inevitable but so far I have been pretty fortunate.

JackJeckel, Nice to see you had a good haul of silver this week as well.

John77, Nice finds as well

Hope the silver keeps flowing for all of us as it seems it has been.. Starting off to be a great year for all of us so far... I am upping my order to 6 boxes a week starting with this upcoming weeks order so hopefully my find rates increase as well... Ok so I found yet some more silver on my four boxes from friday which keeps me happy :-).. Here are the results

1x 1964
1x 1965
1x 1966
9x 1967
8x 1968
1x 1969
1x 1980 (absolutely gorgeous and should grade ms-65) never seen one this nice.

Will add pics next week as daughter has camera and gone for the weekend ... Good luck to you all on your hunts and may the silver be plentiful in your boxes

I'm getting killed with skunks lately. I've gotten three boxes through last Friday's four box pick up. A 1968, 1969. 1982 P no FG. 1971 D with 35-40 degrees CCW rotation. 1995 P with 15-20 degrees CCW rotation. Brother pair of 1983 P struck though obverses.

Anyone know of a place to get above face for NIFCs? The only ones I want to keep are my 87 set.

Got these from a teller today while buying a box of nickles.
The Benny stuck out like a sore thumb in her tray.

I will chime in and say its really great to see so many of you doing well. Many of you find in a day what I found all last year. I did get someones collection this past week starting with 71 and going through 96. Nice box but no silver.(Silver around here is scarce.) One great thing is they were all like brand new. And this was something that I was told about from a teller at my pickup bank 2 weeks ago, that a guy didnt want to wait any longer for his coins to become worth something. 2 week turn around on those coins. Fast, but worked to my advantage. I found out that my pickup bank and some others in my area share a coin vault. But on the other side of things I have never got a marked coin back from my dump bank which is a family owned bank, the only one in my area. They have their own supply of coin is what they tell me. All I know is I'm happy and having fun and hope your luck continues on!

Druu, those coins you have that you believe are rotated dies are most likely Magic Coins, They will sound different, and weigh different that a normal coin. If you take the coin and grasp it with all your finger tips with the reverse down, Tap firmly on a hard surface the the bottom of the coin should fall out. Just a thought, and if you do have real rotated dies Congrats. Jack nice score and its always awesome to score any 70 Kennedy, specially a proof.

kfish, that's my experience as well. I finished that last box and got skunked there too. Two 40% out of four boxes. At least it wasn't like my first four boxes that yielded nothing!

arby96, I did a drop test on the rotated ones, and there's no audible difference. (I've read a Magician's coin is supposed to be more of a "clunk"?) I don't have a scale that measures in increments small enough though. They'd be my first rotated dies. Still haven't found off center strike, Cud, blank planchet, or a ton of other fun errors. Does it add a premium?

Well four boxes today 2 skunks 4 pieces of silver 1-65, 2-67, 1-68 and a foreign coin 1992, No Idea where its from as of yet. Three of the silver are I believe are ED Toned. Take a look at the picture and let me know what you think.
