90% ender

[byrne3]

I got $1000 halves, and $1000 dimes..

I haven't opened any yet, but I did find this. It's holed, but this box is atleast promising..

UPDATED:

Very nice boxes from this bank.. Especially the dimes. Lately I have been getting bad dimes, but not this time..

makes a good keychain. I have a bicentenial and a 1999 half dollar that i found with holes like that and i put them on my key ring. Nice find!!!

Wow, that half dollar has seen its day! I have gotten a 1990 holed half dollar once, kept it just to keep it, don't know why. That box is promising!

I remember my first half dollar box back in January 17, 2011... a 1964 ender!! Wasn't a dream box but was my best to date, (1) 90% and (6) 40%...

Hope you get a load of halves!

holed or not it is still a coin and its still silver

Very nice. At least it won't be a skunk box.

As far as holed coins I put a ribbon through all my holed silver coins and put them on the Christmas tree. They are one of the few ornaments that I don't have to worry about breaking.

Update:
no more 90%'ers, but no skunks yet so I'm happy with these boxes.. Still have 3 dime boxes to go.

In the first box, 1 roll had 19 coins, and 1 roll had 21 coins, 1 of which was 40%.. (the overal count was correct)
The second box had 6 rolls with 21 coins, and 5 rolls with 19 coins (one coin extra in the box). Never have I had boxes with so many rolls that were miscounted..

I consider if the box is short, the cost of doing our hobby. Of course it is never good to be short of what you paid..

Some more to add to the pile.

I've only done 2 half boxes because they're a pita to get around here. They even charged me $7.50 a box. That's why I don't do more. Anyway I had a nice franklin on the end of one roll so I was excited. It was the only silver in the box. The other box had a standing/walking lib. A little slick but exciting none the less. $7.50 is just to big a risk if I'm getting skunked or just 1 40%er.

I agree. I take the same kind of stance at the grocery store. Sometimes I get overcharged for something, and sometimes I get undercharged for something. Unless it's something significant I don't usually worry about it. Overall It probably turns out to be about correct..

I have been counting my rolls inside the bank lately.. I have read stories on here where people have gotten boxes of halves and have been 10 rolls short! Ouch.. I've never been short a roll, and rarely short rolls either..
