After all the Walkers in last week’s box I was looking forward to picking up my next box today. The main branch of my bank (20 miles away) orders me 4 boxes a month and the head teller at my branch picks them up on her way to work and I buy one a week. There was a chance today’s box would have been ordered at the same as the last one. I got the box home and found this

A Walking Liberty and a Franklin were showing, good sign. This box was definitely in the same batch as the last box.

We also got 3 more of the burnt looking proofs and a nice 1967 British One Penny.

When we were done my wife said I had to go see if they had another box from this batch. I dumped my rejects and went back to the bank. The teller said she had one more box but wouldn’t have another order for 2 weeks. I said that was fine I and I would skip next week. She got me the box and said while I was gone someone dropped off 4 rolls and a few loose. I saw 2 silver edges in her coin tray. She picked them up and looked at them for a minute, then asked if I wanted them. She had $43.50 worth, the rolls were skunks but the loose had a 1964-D and a 1967. She normally keeps the 90% she finds but has let me have some 40% in the past.

Well I got the box home and opened it.

3 Walkers showing (1 roll had a Walker on both ends). This box was just like the last 2

With the boxes, the road trip, and the extras this has been a great first half of September.

That's one heck of a score! It would take me 4-5 months of searching many boxes to get that many walkers.
Your photos are inspirational !
Good job :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Thanks everybody. I had only found about 30 Walkers in the last 3 1/2 years so this was a big boost in the total. It will have been a month between when these were ordered and my next batch comes in so this should be the end of this ride, but it was fun while it lasted.

I've gone through some long skunk streaks and have thought about taking a break and stop ordering boxes. Then a box or road trip like this comes along and reminds me you have to keep pushing through the hard times or you'll miss a big score.
