Hello all. My wife and I are still coming down from the rush of opening this last box.The 3rd of 4 boxes tonight, we tore the top off and knew we had a dream box.
The 1st roll opened had 3 Walkers in it, back to back and the rest of the box was just like it, many rolls had multiple Bens and Walkers in them. No rare dates, most were in the 30s and 40s with the exception of one 1917.
The totals from that box alone are

56 Walkers
37 Bens
15-1964s
36-40%ers
Total-144 Silver Halves!

Still have one box to go thru and 3 more coming in tomorrow. What a rush! HH Everyone. MM2 and wife.

Thanks all. I'm from N.J. We went thru last box, it had only 6 silvers but there was a 1930 Balboa coin which I think is 90% silver.

unbelievable! Love those walkers! Thanks for the pics! By the way, is it a marked CWI box or unmarked box?

The boxes were stamped with a 4 digit number but were undated.

Full Balboa or medio (half) Balboa ?

The following links would imply there were no full Balboa's minted in 1930; but there were medio Balboa's minted in 1930. And yes, it is a 90%er.
