After weeks of waiting I finally got my first box of halves today. Unfortunately, it became apparent rather quickly that it had been searched previously. Only finds were one NIFC, a 1971S that is pretty beat up, and a 1972 that just looks "off" to me. There's something about it I can't quite figure out.  |

Went all out today. I got 23 boxes from 2 different banks. Probably my worst finds to date.
8 40%
2 90% (1964, 1954 Franklin)
4 proofs
Well over 100 NIFC that I threw back
I found 6 times that earlier this week with less than half the boxes.

did they just have 23 spares in the vault, or they actually let you order that many?

Dan, where in the heck can you deposit 23 boxes of coins per week?

For that matter, how much weight is that? I would hate to have to carry all those coins around!

I'd carry all those coins around for a couple hundred bucks, no problem

I order 10 boxes a week normally. They had a mixup last week and didnt get them ordered due to the holiday so they had 23 this week. 8 from one bank and 15 from another. I take them back to a commercial branch. Their machine is quite a bit faster than a normal branch. It was defintely heavy! I search with a buddy so it's not too bad.

I did several hours of coin hunting. I ended up with 5 40% and 2 90% (a 1964 and a 1942!)  |

Depends entirely where the banks get the halves they wrap.

"Depends entirely where the banks get the halves they wrap"
I have an account with Chase Bank and all three boxes I have gotten from them have all had Brinks wrapped rolls in them and all three boxes have been skunks for silver. I did find a nice 2000 "S" clad proof in the first box and a nice 1996 "S" clad proof in the second but would love to at least find a silver coin from time to time.
