Hold your mouse cursor over the photo (don't click)---some boxes will appear at the top of the photo---move your mouse cursor over the "share" tab---then select "more options" and click on that. Then click on "get link code" and look down the page for "IMG for bulletin boards & forums" and copy and paste the "full size" address to your post.

Hope this helps. You can also select the checkbox to set this as your default code and you can then just copy and paste the code from you main page on photobucket---

Russ, the bags were from BOA in Florida. In Texas I have gotten flat and stacked boxes from BOAs, but never bags.

Picked up the only 4 rolls that a Wells Fargo had today.

Wound up with a 1968D and two BU 1989P's that I decided to keep.

Not bad.

Also andrew, I have a couple 40%ers that have that ugly toning on them. Maybe it's common for that alloy?

Picked up 10 boxes today and got 3-40%ers and a handful of various NIFC's and a few proofs. Going to try another bank on thursday... 2 rolls were short 1 coin and 1 had an extra. Also one roll had a Sacagawea dollar plus all 20 halves...

Dump-o-matic day tomorrow...

You never know what you will find. Sometimes find those trick halves with a Mexican copper coin on one side of a half that splits open. One of my favorite finds was an Indian Head penny inside a bag of halves. it was in nice shape aside from being bent in half!

Ohhh! Finally hit the big one! I thought it would never happen but here I am sitting on almost 60 silver halves!

4 Box Total

40% - 36
90% - 22

Best part is, there was 2 Franklins, 3 Walkers, and 1 1893 Commemorative Columbian Half Dollar!

Very nice!

The Columbian Half is awesome find; I love seeing commemoratives with some miles on them.

Thank you for sharing the pictures.
