Hello fellow CRHers!
it has been a while since i've posted. (last time i posted about my new year's silver dump bag) =)
Given an average week, I try to do around 10 boxes of halves to keep the addiction going.
I read everyone's posts all the time, and started increasing my box volume from 5 to 10... partially due to CardsNCoins constant good luck =D (Wanted to get some of that luck myself)
So, I get my regular 4 boxes from one branch I frequent, which usually give up 1~3 keepers per box, but usually always 40%s. Well the teller had actually ordered a total of 10 instead of the regular 4 (why, I don't know and wasn't complaining). But only having a limited amount of cash, picked up the usual 4.
3 boxes in... 2 40%s. Not too bad, always better than skunks, and already half-way through box #4. Well, turns out that box #4 was hiding 4 beautiful walkers in one roll! =D Was pretty exciting! especially when the final roll gave up another 3!!!
The fun didn't stop there.... I go and pick up another 4 boxes. The very first one I decide to open happens to have a benjamin ender... Now I have gotten a benjamin ender, and it turns out that, besides the ben, the box happened to contain no more keepers... well not only did I flip a roll over to reveal a walker ender, but the entire box contained 20 walkers! (w/ several more benjamins)
On top of that, the streak continued into the next 2 boxes!!!! (before ending unfortunately.. as they all must)
I know it was someone's collection because all the coins had the exact same tarnished tinting on their edges.
Totals:
55 walkers (1 1917; 1 1918; 3 1939; rest in 40's)
11 Bens
2 64'
3 40%
So, this may be far from a dream box for many, but combined... it damn sure was a great score!
As everyone always says, It's out there! Trust me!
