I knew I was still in the vein because I wasn't getting alot of skunks this week just a low average, well I found the node again, more like someones collection of 64 Kens and 63 Bens! 59/82 were 90% !!!

Bank 1 - I was slightly concerned after box 1 like here we go again another day of 1 per box, but once I got to box 2 it was a different ballgame !
Box 1 - 1968 (ender)
Box 2 - 1963 Franklin x4 (1 bell ender), 1964 x20 (2 enders 1 obv, 1 rev), 1 lonely 1967
Box 3 - 1963 Franklin x3, 1964 x4, 1965
Box 4 - 1963 Franklin x3, 1964 x7 (1 ender)
Box 5 - 1963 Franklin x2, 1964 x5 (1 ender), 1967
Box 6 - 1963 Franklin x3, 1964 x7, 1969
Total from Bank #1 was 15 Franklins, 43 x1964s, and 5 x40% - I didn't want it to end but I have 8 maybe 12 more boxes from this chain tomorrow :-) <fingers crossed>

Bank 2 - This place usually puts out a couple silver per box and today was no exception, but nothing crazy either like Bank 1
Box 1 - 1942 Walker, 1967 x7 (1 ender) - Probably the nicest walker I have found to date in a box
Box 2 - 1966, 1967 x3 (1 ender)

Bank 3 - Tried a new branch a bit in the hood but I am glad I stopped in during the daylight hours! I had called beforehand and they said they had $390 in halves.
$30 CWR - 1967, 1968 x4, 1969
$360 MWR - 1967
$110 Dimes - 1964 Rosie

Enjoy the pics as much as I did....I didn't want this night to end!!! ;D

HH and hope everyone finishes out the week strong before Christmas closes down the banks for a few days /cry
Merry Christmas,
Bigheed

Nice Boxes, better than here. No skunks in the mix. I noticed your Sharpie there, you mark your coins?

Hah no, I figured it wouldn't take long for that question to spring up.

The sharpie is for my Coin Lock bags.

Have never and will never waste my time marking coins.

I do it to keep tabs on the coins I go through. It psyches people out too in my opinion. Course, I've psyched myself out now when I get a bunch of my own marked coins in boxes I get and especially when they are skunks. LOL

BTW, it should be a Guinness....but hey, I'll drink a Corona while finding that much AG while pillaging those boxes.

I agree but its the only beer in the house at the moment so I had to take what was available!

Friggin sweet. Those crazy dirt fishers will search the ground their entire lives and not find the silver you found in 1 DAY!

Congrats!

Yeah it sure seems like you got someone's collection of '63's & '64's.

You are finishing off the month and the year very well - congrats! :thumbsup:

Hopefully tomorrow is the continuation for you.

Amazing finds there! Congrats!

6 boxes from one bank and 8-12 more coming??? They don't give you any trouble with ordering so many? And here I was hesitant to up my standing order from 2 boxes to 4 per week :blob7:
