Ok so I did another bank ordered box this weekend, along with a dump bag from a coin machine at a smaller local bank who I ordered a box from last week. The box was a total skunk, but the bag, as I suspected might, yielded a bit more:
14 40% - 1 '65, 6 '67, 6 '68, 1 '69
AND:
1 Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority token - I am from NJ so these were used on our bridges and tunnels as currency (obviously lol). I haven't seen one in years and I have no idea if it's worth ANYthing, but it had to be worth more than .50 back in the day, so, maybe there's a collector out there for that.
2 Hong Kong $2 face value coins - neat looking, shaped like a starfish, I'm unsure what the exchange rate is on HK dollars atm, but they're going into my big jar 0' foreign cash that I will one day bring to a currency place.
1 50 Pence coin - anyone know how many pence to the Pound Sterling?
1 50 Forint coin - IDK even what country this is but it says "Magyar" on it, so I am guess Hungary?
anyhow, I thought a dump bag from a machine might be more fruitful, because ONE silver coin out of 2 bank boxes was rather discouraging. I'll keep ordering boxes, because you all say it takes volume, but I am going to focus some more on machines as well, if I can find ones that will let me buy the bags (TD Bank won't, btw)
All in all, a satisfying hunt!
