NorthShoreMA Valued Member United States 168 Posts	Posted 12/21/2024 8:44 pm I have described on this forum finding a large number of silver half dollars during a lucky CRH streak that lasted from October 1st to mid November. But the trail ran cold after that for five weeks (as it always does), when I found only one silver quarter, several silver Roosevelt dimes, and a few 40% Kennedy half dollars. My luck changed today when I found three silver Kennedy "enders" (two 1968-D coins and one 1969-D coin ) in a Loomis box that I ordered from the local bank where I began CRH last year. After finding that many silver enders, I anticipated finding ~30 similar coins in the box. How did I do? Not nearly that well! I found only 10 more silver half dollars in the box (including one 1964 coin) -- not the 25-30 coins that I had expected. Their distribution is very odd. I generally find about equal numbers of 1967 and 1968 half dollars. But I found nine 1968 coins and only one 1967 coin in this collection dump. I shouldn't complain too much about finding 2 troy ounces of silver today. And I hope it kicks off another "hot" streak. Report this Post to the Staff

John77 Pillar of the Community United States 2910 Posts	Posted 12/24/2024 1:41 pm Yeah... the former Math major in me says that the 3 out of 100 enders (50x2 sides) should've produced approximately 27 more silver coins out of the 900 remaining coins - 30 out of 1,000 total... for there to only be 10 more is at the extreme low end of the expected distribution. But hey, as you said, can't complain about stacking another 2 ounces of silver! CRH Nickeloholic. 1,600,000 nickels searched in eight years! Have found FOUR complete Jefferson sets!
