My "pickup service" (wife) visited the bank with our "rollee backpack" to get the two boxes of halves that I had ordered. While she was there, she got a few more things, without my even asking! So, I now have 100 pounds of coins to search.

two boxes of halves
one box of dimes
one box of nickels
one box of pennies

So far, I've looked through half of one of the boxes of halves--nothing good. I just do not have the luck with halves.

But, I'm confident that there's still silver (and other interesting things) in them thar hills

my wife has recently started helping me with coins. I guess its becuase she quit her job... I just told her to make up the money she isn't making we have to look through more coins for silver. she was instantly hooked once she saw I sold my 99 WAM for $200 how much $$ can be made =D

so tomorrow shes picking up a box of halves for me!

I read your post to my GF and she only rolled her eyes a little bit. Looks like no surprise boxes for me!

My wife thinks I am kinda, sorta crazy with the roll searching thing. Actually, she has warmed up to it a little; don't think she will be bringing me any boxes home. On the lighter side, I usually search while sitting in our bed. Yea, you got it. On at least one occassion I have looked over at my sleeping wife, she has rolled over and there was a LMC stuck on her cheek. I haven't had the nerve to tell her yet, or better yet, I may take a picture next time. Second thought, probably not, it might just end my roll searching!
