Picked up 2 boxes and $500 in hand rolls today. Pulled 3 from the boxes and 12 from the hand rolls. Also searched a few dimes and got 3 silver roosevelts. I hit the dimes now and then and am down to 10 holes in the book to fill.

Just finished searching 2 FED boxes of halves and found 3 40% silvers. Hopefully next week will be more rewarding!

I agree, brinks boxes have been disappointing lately.

I agree - all my boxes have been waaaaay down for the last couple of months. I cancelled all my CWI box orders and am focusing on brinks. All my dumps are going into the CWI boxes so that may help in my territory. Just did 6 boxes and pulled 3 40% coins. Not really worth the time anymore as I've got all the NIFC coins I will ever need and any proofs found are usually beat up. I'd be happy to find a few odd foreign coins...

I drove around yesterday on my "circut" of about 15 banks. None of them had more than $4-$5 worth of loose halves, and there wasn't an silver coin to be had. At one bank the teller said she thought they had a box in the vault. Sure enough, they did so I bought that. (I figure someone ordered that and is going to be upset.)
I ended at my dump bank and turned in all the halves I had picked up, plus about $400 worth of other halves I had found. When I was leaving that bank there was road construction and I got so turned around and lost I couldn't find the highway. I pulled into a parking lot to turn around and it was a bank! I went through the drive through. I picked up (2) 40%. My only silver of the day was because I got lost!
I just got done going through the box and it was pretty odd:
90% - 0
40% - 0
(nothing odd so far)
01P - 4
02P - 7
02D - 3
03P - 6
03D - 2
05P - 2
05D - 2
06P - 2
06D - 3
I've never had that many NIFC's from one box before!

Great box Gothic F! I would love to work through a box like that, all I got from my almost skunk box is a 1988-S proof? this has a mirror background and a frosty kennedy ead with only a few minor scratches. I looked in the Red Book and it said 7$. Does anyone know how much this baby would actually sell for and how often you guys find them? |

Not worth much as it has been circulated unless you are really lucky and get it before it shows any wear. I still hang on to them if they are real nice but I don't think they sell for much on ebay by themselves. I have seen some full sets get pretty good bids. Maine_Jim |

Most people aren't interested in proof Kennedy's below PF-65, so any kind of circulation would immediately knock it down to below PF-60. I agree with Jim - you won't get much for it, but ebay would be your best bet. Still nice to have though! |

I picked up some customer rolls on Friday. 3 rolls from a bank that I had gotten silver from before and 4 rolls from another bank. The 4 rolls from the other bank yielded nothing, but the other 3 rolls had 35 40%ers. One roll had 16 and another roll had 19. I check at this bank every week as this is about the 4th time this has happened in the past 3-4 months. I have also gotten some 1964s there but never anything earlier. When they have halves it's usually about 3-5 rolls and about half of them are silver, and I'm guessing that the same customer just brings some in every couple of weeks.
