Personal Dream Box!

[Rascal]

So I had to take a couple weeks off from searching because the job was interfering with my returns and I had a few $K sitting around the house. Fast forward: the coins have been cashed and the account replenished and I tell the bank to resume my weekly order. Bank calls and said they misunderstood but they did have $1K for me. Okay, work again so I'll pick it up on Thursday (I work 12+ hour night shifts so waiting for the bank to open isn't in the works as I hit the sack after a Benadryl at the same hour they open, and I still had 2 days of work ahead of me when they called).

Come Thursday and they have not $1k but $2K. Sure, I'll take them all.

Now it's Scouts and meeting night, followed by a big fundraiser that takes 2 days (super mega yard sale, 3 - 30' storage units worth) so I search 1 box and find 1 40% and the other three boxes wait.

Yard sale over and I manage to plow through a 2nd box (3 40%) before passing out.

Today I am rested and finish the other two boxes along with a box of cents (total skunk, almost all 2012's) and a box of dimes (1 1964).

The first box of halves yields 1 40%. Hey, any time I can manage 1 per box I am good with it because my take to date was only 50 silvers total in 51 boxes.

Then the 4th and final box.....

3 enders staring up at me! The 3 ender rolls yield 7 silvers between them - all 40%.

The rest of the box yields another ender (bottom side) with 4 silvers total and the only 90% in the box. Not a bad box so far, but like the TV commercial says wait, there's more!

The final tally for the one box was 42 silvers! 42! 1 90% and 41 40%. 42 silvers from one box vs. 50 silvers total for the first 51 boxes ever searched.

I took pics for the first time ever (new phone) and as soon as I figure out how to download them I'll post. I think the wife was getting annoyed with me interrupting her on-line Scrabble game every time I scored more. 1 roll yielded 4 silvers including the only 90%.

The girls at the bank are going to get homebaked bread next visit.

I should also add that this box also yielded a handful of near-pristine 1971's. It honestly looked like someone had dumped a virgin roll into the bin there were so many. I know the album is going to get upgraded as soon as I figure which piece is closest to mint state.

All this and a grease-filled die error (no date) this week and I am almost walking on cloud nine.

Nice finds man that is deinitely a lot of silver for one box! My best number in one box was in the low teens, I don't remember exactly. Damn nice find! I would be ordering from that bank every week now. HH.

Great haul Rascal. I am simply blown away by all the great finds you guys are getting for halves. Hope the good luck stays with all of your future boxes!

And I am skunked by the blasted cellphone. It (or the computer itself more likely) won't let me download the pics. It's a Pantech P2030 if anyone here is savvy with that sort of thing.

email the pic to yourself first - or txt message the pic to someone with a smartphone, and we can upload the photo for you. pm me if you want my cell, and we can try that...

send the pic to your email, save the picture from the message to your documents, then select it in the post thingy

[Rascal]

Good answers, guys, but I don't have a data plan, just phone service. Looking at the quick start flyer now, not much help.

Does your phone have a card? You may be able to take the card out and plug it in if you have a card-reader.

It might also work to plug the phone into your computer, but I believe you said that wasn't working right. You may need a driver, search "pantech p2030 usb driver" and see what comes up.

Friggin awesome box bro!

So I stop by the local AT&T store and ask about the download situation, and to her credit the young woman didn't bat an eye. Wal-Mart's photo dept. can Blue Tooth the camera to disc for $3. For a find like this it will be worth the time and tiny investment. Expect some silver porn in the next few days.
