I'd have to say that after just over four months of CRHing I haven't come across a score like this. Because of work, I can only do two boxes a week, I usually pick up one on Saturday and on Wednesday. The last three boxes that I have gotten were complete skunks, until the box I got today. Even then, today's haul was worth about 3x what I had TOTAL from the past four months. It's unreal. Until today, the oldest coin I got was a 1960 Franklin Half.

So without further delay, here's what I pulled from one box

3 Barber Halves (1903 O, 1912 D, 1914 S)
8 Walking Liberty Halves (1919 D, 1942 S, 1934 P, 2x 1945 P (1 which was gold plated in some areas), 1943 P, 2x 1943 D)
19 Franklin Halves - 10 of which were 1952 D, one with a hole drilled through it 8)
36 1964 Kennedy Halves
56 40% 1965-1969 Halves

I attached some pics for all of you to look at.

That's an OMG box (for the special affects of barbers and varieties) and a dream box (for the total number); Congrats! HH

I appreciate all of the thanks, guys!! ;D

I also got three foreign coins out of the box - 2 from panama and one from Ecuador. I don't believe they are silver. Anyone else find it unusual that foreign coins in the same denomination are the same size as US coins?

I'm not so sure about the Ecuadorian coin, but the Panamanian coins have been produced by the US Mint. They use the same planchet as our Kennedy. Congrats on the sweet score.

Panama coins are exactly the same size as U.S. coins. Panama is so small and there is no need to have a central banking system like we do (no Greenspan/Benanke for them). Their money is tied up to US dollar. Their coins use exactly the same materials as ours and have the same value as ours. So if you found a panama half older than 1964, it would be in 90% silver; 1965-1972, 40% silver clad. They only mint business coins once every few years and sligtly more often for proof coins. They don't have paper money, just use US dollar instead.
