Results from my first box of halves! Sweet!

[diggummup]

Well I finally decided to order a box of halves last week.Now I don't know why the heck I waited so long for! I could only hope the results are typical but I think it was beginners luck.As I opened the first roll,bam,a '68,sweet.Next roll,bam!,another '68.On and on it seemed every roll held only one 40%,which is cool by me.As I reached the second half of the box,here comes Ben!,first one,then another and another and you get the drift.Only about 20 of the 50 rolls contained nothing.The most in 1 roll was 3 keepers.Oh yeah,I also found some kind of token or something from Panama dated 1982,I'll post it here and probably in the whatsit section also.The totals eventually added up to the following: '65-1
'66-1
'67-11
'68-10
'69-7

'64-3
Frankins-1949-1 1963-3 for a total of 7 90% and 30 40% silver.
I'm stoked and can't wait for my next box! Here's the pics--

Nice going! 37, eh? Well, I'm not too proud to ask for the leftovers! :P
Seriously, Dig, that's some sweet sorting. As the Aussies say, "Good on ya!"

The 1982 1/2 Balboa from Panama is a copper-nickel clad coin. Worth maybe a buck, but a neat surprise all the same!

Ahh,so it is a coin! I gotta get a world coin book.I figured it was a token because I couldn't find a value denomination on it.I'm sure the excitement will die down when I get a box with no keepers! The wife thought I was crazy last night when I found the first Franklin.I was whoo-hooing like a kid in a candy store! Thanks for the info.PBK!

Last week I got 3 rolls of 40% from two boxes. And I have found one of those Panama Balboas in the past also.

I am having Vuja Dey, that strange feeling this has never happened before.

Great box dig! LOL about your wife's reaction to your woo-hooing when you found Ben! Imagine when you find Lady Liberty!
