went through 2 boxes today,
First box = 1 90% 64 Kennedy and 16 40% kennedys
Second box = nada, zip, nothing, scratch, skunked, Zero.

second box really disappointed me, thought from the first box that I was going to have a very good day instead of just a good day. Just goes to show, you never can tell. Second box gave evidence of someone else searching as there were many coins in every roll with magic marker dates, dots, initials, underline of dates, etc.

I have a hard enough time getting 1 box every month or so from 2 different banks! Another bank calls me when they get halves in on deposit and I was lucky there $60 produced 1 40percent so I was happy

I have 7 banks that I get boxes from but only 3 that I have weekly shipments. The other ones I just call when I have some extra cash available.

I got 2 boxes today and found 15 40%ers and 2 64s, so I'm a very happy camper today.

Out of the 10 rolls (200 coins) that I searched yesterday, 28 were 1971-P and there was nothing before that. I plan on continuing my search for '65-'70, but this was a bit discouraging.

2 Boxes yesterday. 2 90% and 7 40%, and 3 2005/6 P. Both boxes had a lot of coins that were marked up. Not bad though

It seems like when I find a 68, the majority I find that day is 68. When I find a 67, the majority are 67's. It's funny how that works.

2 boxes yesterday, first box was stamped that it was packed on Nov 30th, 2011 and yielded nothing. Second box wasn't stamped and found 12 40% and a 1964.

akane17 - I don't think the stamp matters. Our last box was stamped Nov 16th, 2011 and we found (2) 40%rs. The box of quarters that I searched last night was also stamped 11/16/2011 and I found 3 silver quarters.

I have went through 20 rolls now and nothing before '71. Matter of fact, I would say that 65% of the 400 halves searched were either '71 or '76.
