This weeks 24 boxes, Very nice haul! A couple firsts as well

Well I only got short ordered on 4 boxes this week, I thought I had 30 ordered, but was 28...

Anyways I had about 7 skunk boxes, the rest all produced some kind of silver... I didnt keep records each box.

Ended with (6) 90%ers and (48) 40%ers!!! Notable mention is 1893 Columbian Exposition Half dollar!!! Amazing, I never even knew of its existence, also that was the only silver in that particular box I got it from.

Also not included on that list is a "silver" 1976 Bicentennial I found, has a silver rim, doesnt have an S mark, looks like a proof, and also does not have the silver ping when I flip it with my thumb... So dont know what to make of it... lemme know

My best box more than doubled my previous best of 11 40%ers from 2 weeks ago, I got 28 40%ers from one box, 3 in one roll, and 4-5 rolls that had 2 in them... I couldnt believe it!!!

Also, Anyone ever have banks switch roll types on them? All of my boxes but 2 came from the same source, they have always come with brown/black wrappers, but I got about 6-8 boxes this week from the same banks, but with yellow/white skunk and sons wrappers... But they still produced for me. IMG_20130307_125129.jpg IMG_20130307_231407.jpg IMG_20130307_235835.jpg IMG_20130307_235912.jpg IMG_20130308_175617.jpg

HH all!!!!!!!!

Some pics arent loading, im working on it...

Also the pics of the shiny rims above, are all 1969 halves, they do almost have pinkish rims... keep an eye out for them!

More edit, while im re-sizing the pics

Found 5-6 marked halves from Buffalo Boy, from 2/13, all the way from mississippi!! Crazy...

Also found a 1984 100f coin, pretty interesting

No kidding!!! Never thought I would find one so soon in my career!

I saw the dirty rim on it, popped it open and holy crap!! I thought it was a barber at first, but then saw Columbian Half Dollar, and was really stumped haha... Once I flipped it and heard that PINGGGGGG!! Yeah buddy

Tim, did you ever find one of those 1893 or 1892 columbian expositions?? I was reading up on it a bit, only 5 million minted, with half being melted down before they were released...

mercury, Try to mix it up with some CWR rolls... I got an 18 silver dime score in a roll this week... found a couple silver halves at teller trays too...

I also still have 900-1000 in CWR halves/quarters/dimes I picked up after all of my box runs were done. Hopefully ill find some more silver... only found 6-8 rolls of halves, rest are about 50/50 mix of quarter/dime CWR's

Info, fantastic score, dude! The Colombian Exposition is definitely worth holding onto! It certainly beats my 1952 Booker T that I just found today! Glad you killed it this week too! Now onto create my post! HH!!!

hey man, dang my coins popped up in less than a month, i can almost assure you i dumped those marked halves the 2nd week in february too. That certainly goes to show you the mix of coins doesn't sit on the pallet long.
Thanks for sharing with us,
