I hit a small bank in the middle of nowhere, TX yesterday. All the rolls the teller had were customer wrapped so I used all the cash I had on hand ($40) to buy them. They were all copper-nickel unfortunately. :(

Went through a box of 500, pulled 2 40%'s, a 90%, a religous medal, a 77s proof, as well as a misaligned die.

2 box total today: 2 more 40%er's! "I'm on a roll now!!"  At least I'm maintaining my average of 1 per box so far this week. 5 boxes- 5 keepers! (LOL) 2 more boxes to go for tomorrow and that's it till next week. |

Is there anyone in here searching who is from the northeast, like central/eastern pa or baltimore? I'm deciding whether or not to try searching halves or to stick with nickels.

My box is done and it WAS AN EXCELLENT BOX ! .....  It was indeed a "mother lode".....thankfullly not a "3rd Cousin lode" ! ....  Found no Proofs Found no pre-64 coinage Found no Foreign coinage But I "did" find... 2 - '64 90%ers
3 - '66 40%ers
1 - '67 40%er
3 - '68D 40%ersThis might be pretty close to the best box I've ever had !.....At least it is for a very long time ! |

I went through a Brinks box and came away 14 40% silver JFK. Not bad at all. I have 2 FED boxes coming in tomorrow - hopefully it will yield better results than the 1 40% found in the 2 FED boxes from last week. I'll post results on the weekend.

Eaglefoot, hopefully you hit a vein. Go back there and get some more boxes from that same bank. Do it NOW (...OK, OK, they're closed, now...do it TOMORROW!) A couple months ago, I gave up on a bank, after striking out on about 12 consecutive boxes. Nothing but marked coin in just about every other roll. Last week, I went back there, and got another box, and found my first silver, there, in like, 6 months (a nice '65), plus several NIFCs. I knew a box like that was no dump. So, I went right back, the next day, on my lunch break, and got the only other box they had. 16-40%, 1-'44, 1-'19 (date barely legible), and a couple more NIFCs. Needless to say, I've got 2 more boxes on order for next week, on the theory that, when the gravy's flowing, I want to be right there with my kisser under the faucet!

Went through another $500 box.
Pulled 2 proofs (86s and 91s), as well as 3 NIFC (2002D, 2003P, and 2009D)
Most of the box had marker lines on the coins, including the 86s proof blaaaaaaah. Why would someone marker a proof?!?!?!
