Did $150 in Kennedy's and obtained a nice 1964 today! I also found 2 2002P's, 1 2002D and 1 2005P. Any reason to keep those? This is the first time I've found anything newer than 2001. Also, did $25 in pennies today and found a beautiful 1961 Dime in the middle of a roll! It's exciting enough to find a dime in a roll of pennies, let alone a silver one!

2 box total for the weekend - 3 40%. Like Chuckster, not a good week.
One of my banks had a glitch and did not receive 4 boxes. Also, it appears someone else is moving into my other bank. I asked to order 4 boxes for next week and was told someone had already ordered 4. She was unsure if she could get me 4 also.
Might go on a field trip next week.

I had an awesome time going through boxes this weekend. I had mentioned a couple pages back, I took a break from roll searching and the manager of the bank ordered me some boxes to "stock up" for when I came back for more, which I found really cool. I also got shorted an entire roll, and I guess my phone call to the bank paid off, the manager handed me a $10 bill for the error!
Boxes 1-3 yielded...
1 Franklin
3 40%'s
and numerous NIFC's
Boxes 4-7 yielded...
1 Franklin
1 90%
2 40%
and a 97 Proof and 09 Proof (not silver >.< )
Still got 1 more box to go and I'm very pleased with the results. Last time I did a big batch like this I got skunked. Still waiting for my mega-box to come in. How some of you find 40+ silver pieces is beyond me.

Man I don't know where this luck came from but I'm going to keep riding it until it runs out. This week has been my best week ever for half dollars. Let me break it down for you guys and share my finds.
Wednesday: (I previously posted this)
2 40%
17 franklins, 3 walkers (all in one roll)
Friday:
8 40%
2 90% 1964 kennedys
Today:
1 full roll of '67 40% kennedys
1 full roll of 68 D 40% kennedys
1 bicentennial clad proof from a teller tray
Total:
22 90%
50 40%
1 proof
All were from cwr's....I'm only 21 and I haven't been doing this for as long as most of you guys but I'd say it was a good week for me.

jrh... IMHO... keep it up! I'm 27, and I was thinking HOW THE HECK WAS I NOT INTO THIS WHEN I WAS your age..lol
i would sell what you get in because I see the upswing of silver prices going to drop off soon, probly next month. last time I got a haul like yours was 2 months ago and I sold it all the next day. I'm kicking myself because silver climbed from the $19/$20 it was at to what it is now... but its always nice to have some silver you are sitting on...
i can only dream of the CWR's you get. I can never seem to find no more than $10

My saturday find is actually a kind of funny story so I'll share it with you guys as well. I decided to go to a large chain bank in a small town about 10 min from my house. I asked the teller if they had any half dollar rolls, she said yeah I think we have about $180 dollars in the vault. So she brings them out, and every roll is labeled. So I'm looking at all of them and they all say 1776-1976...I'm thinking wow bummer. Then I see two rolls, One says 67 the other says 68D on it. SO I crack the 68D open and yep, all 68D. So then I'm like yeah I'll just take these two rolls haha.
@SDcoinguy: Man it does sound enticing to get the money from selling all of them but I just can't bring myself to sell a coin haha...I guess I am a hoarder. And about silver jumping, I bet you are kicking yourself but I never thought it would increase to where it is right now!
@Deltron: I know how you feel in a way because about 75% of the time, the banks in my area don't have cwr's. I just go back about once a week and ask and that's how I got lucky I guess.

i can sell coins easily without the hoarding part.. I just want to wait until silver is at a point where I can sell and feel good and not worry about what I could have gotten.
