Before getting my 2 box order yesterday, I hit a couple of other banks. One of them said they had machine rolled Halves. I told them I wanted to buy them, but I was on my way to get $1000 of Halves. Well, I came back today and they still had them. It turns out they had an entire sealed box. I opened the box and found:

1 1964
SEVEN 40%s
5 NIFCs
A Magician's Coin? The front is a 1983-P while the back looks something like a British Penny.

Finally finished my first roll of 40%s and now have 6 extra. By far my best Silver haul in a box at 1.39 ounces. Also my first Multi-Silver roll since the final roll had 2 40%s. I've heard of Arizona dream boxes, so I guess this is a Utah dream box since Utah also has a reputation of being a heavily searched area. It's like Rileyboy always says, "It's out there."

The coin that is a half dollar/british Penny is in fact a magician's coin. It is used for a trick called "scotch and soda" really great trick. Google it :)

So my "British Penny" should look like the reverse of a Half Dollar on the other side then? Also, do I need a bang ring to open it, or is there another way?

And they aren't cheap either! If you have a magic shop nearby stop in to see the price on them!

Congratulations! :icon_thumleft:
It is always good to see those boxes that produce above the norm. I hope it sets a new baseline for you as you continue to "mine" out there in Utah!
I lived out in Salt Lake City back in the early '90's. Beautiful country! Hope you enjoy it many years to come!
Best wishes, :hello:

You say Arizona is a hard hit state. Here in the east I have done 10 boxes of halfs with no silver to be found. I have been finding some in the dimes boxes so I been trying to do a few of those a week also......Matt

Hey im a magician and i have the scotch and soda trick (its really awsome) the most common problem tho is axcedently spending them. Its even in the directions NOT TO SPEND IT! But at least someone here found it. You may be able to get about $20 dollors for it on ebay if its in good condition. :laughing9: of course you need the bang ring

The search for a Bang Ring is on. I would probably want to buy one in person to avoid paying shipping. And there's no way I would sell until I perfected the Scotch and Soda trick and performed it on all my friends.
