My skunk streak is over

[cmhoose]

I had a skunk streak of 9 boxes going and just took most of last week off from the hunt. I had to take a little break. Finally, today's two boxes both produced some nice silver. One box was a CWI and the other a Brinks. A nice variety of silver including Walker, Benjamin, and Kennedy, both 90 and 40. This month has been a slow one. I'm just happy to have something to share with everyone after a long drought.

The break down and a few pics:

1944 Walker
1952-D, 1961-D, 1963-D Franklins (a couple of really nice ones)
1964 X 2 (1 AU)
1967 x 4, 1968-D x 6, 1969-D
A chromed, counterstrike (1960-1980) half

only 9 boxes? some here had streaks almost to 50 boxes, i'm sure they would trade places with you in a heartbeat.
congrats on the finds, glad your finding something....can we see a closeup of the counterstrike?

I only do 2 or 3 boxes a week. I prefer loose and handrolled now. And with taking a week off, that put me over a month without finding any silver in boxes. A month without silver felt like a year! I even told dandow20 I was considering taking a crhing vacation, stick to currency for a while. But this small score will keep me in the hunt for a while longer. Here is the pic you requested.

Nice top pic, coinmojo. I was having a tough time getting the right angle with the light on mine. It is a 1960-1980. You have a nice collection of them. I have only kept a couple of mine, most I just throw back now.
