1 more box:

1964 = 1
40% = 5

A pretty good day between the 3 boxes. I realize that when it's slow and you get a bunch of skunk boxes you have to remain optimistic and persistent...THE SILVER IS OUT THERE.

My bank recently switched to Loomis, but 4 boxes yielded 6 40% and a 62-D Franklin. It was curious to find 3 40% within a few rolls of each other with the same greenish tinge, and they were in consecutive order of year (65, 66, 67). About 25 NIFC in those too, but no proofs.

I once again had a very lucky day...

I went to the same bank where I managed to find 21 Franklins, a '64 Kennedy, and some 40% Kennedys and bought some more rolls. Two of them contained an even bigger find, probably from the same stash I found the other silver coins:

*6 40% Kennedys (1965, 2x 1966, 2x 1967, 1969-D)
*2 1964 Kennedys

And, get this...

29 Franklins! As with the previous stash, they were beat up, but the dates ranged from 1948 to 1961. Specifically, I saw a 1948, 1949, 1950, 1950-D, 1952-S, 1953, and 1961.

I sold the lot to a coin dealer I usually do business with. I could have made more money from the lot if I sold it on ebay or somewhere else, but I was happy that I made some profit on the lot.

What's even more interesting is that I used some of the beat-up silver certificates to buy the halves so, I technically redeemed silver certificates for silver.

Now all you need is to score some gold certificates, and you'll be on your way!

Nice deal; I bet it's fun when things work out like that!

Greed is a real problem

I went to open #7 bank[500.oo] They denied me;My credit is good but chexsystem stopped the game.
I never tried to hurt the banks....but too many banks
And this cost the banks money

Searched 5 boxes yesterday. Found 1 68', a nice 81' S proof and a weird S proof from 86' with to statue of liberty on it. The latter is pretty cool and in good shape.
