Got six boxes yesterday and got 43 40% and 2 90% Kens. Also got 14 gold plated ones that look like they were plated yesterday. Are they worth anything?

Picked up six more boxes on the way home from work. Opened them to end check and stack to search as usual. One box had silver showing on the ends of all 50 rolls. only three rolls had a bicentennial on one end. So I have at least 97 silvers in this box. This box is a $500 box. 1,000 halves. Anyone want to guess how many will be in it? The silver showing I didn't check all the dates but the ones I did were all 40%.

I'll go through these boxes tonight when the wife and I get back from a Hockey game we're going to. I'll go through it last so my year will end with a BANG.

Back home. My team lost in Over Time RATS.

First box that had no silver showing on the top layer had lots showing on the bottom layer.

Total for box one is

40% 260
90% 2

Onto the next box. Keep you fingers crossed for me. I'll post pictures when it's all done.

Box #2 was easy. SKUNK. Except for a very nice 99 Clad proof. Onto box 3.

Box #3 SKUNK. Onto #4

Box #4 SKUNK. Onto #5

Box #5 SKUNK. Onto #6

I'm going to take a picture of the rolls in the box them lay out all the rolls and open them. I'll leave all the halves as they come out of the rolls where I had it laying so you can see what it looks like. Till then I'll try to post a couple pictures of that first box.


All done. Total for box #6 out of 1,000 halves.

Clad 106
90% 4
40% 890

I'll try to attach all the pictures. First 2 pictures are from that first box. Rest are from #6. You can see the clad stacked to the side. Oh I almost forgot. One of those 40% was a 1970S. My first.

:icon_thumright: WOW - That is unbelievable. Did that box look different from the rest? There has to be some companions to that box so good luck on your next pick-up! :occasion14:

What a score!!! Don't think have heard of anyone else ever doing better in such numbers from a Bank Box.
If that goes on your 2009 ledger it makes for a spectacular finale!

Yes it goes on the 2009 score. Also both of them last night we're normal brinks boxes. I did notice that the coins in those boxes and others I've gotten this year look similar. Yellowed and very dirty. Almost like a rust on some of them and some looking like smoke damage. I believe their are more boxes like this if I can only get my hands on them.

Simply amazing. I'd search boxes if there was an easy way to dump large amounts of clad in my area.

Congratulations!!!

I'm lucky that their are 10 dump banks for me all within 30 minutes of where I live that have coin counters.

I do 12 boxes a week now and plan on bumping that up to 20 or more later this year.

So you and I both got our best - record Boxes on last day of year, of course mine was much smaller.

My second best was also on the same day. The first box that had 262. ;D

With boxes like that, you don't need dump banks. Heck, you can carry the 106 cupro-nickel clads in just one pocket.

I remember in 2007-2008 I wanted to start setting aside some of my paycheck to buy gold&silver but my wife was totally against it- had I started buying back then I am positive I wouldve found crh a lot sooner than I did and maybe the ag wouldve flowed better back then but im sure had it been good back then I wouldce stopped this year with all the skunksnive had
