:laughing7: Just finished a great (for me) Loomis box. I've been getting 1 Loomis box per week from this bank branch for over a year now with mostly skunks. They would have a occasional 40% but now very often. Anyway when I opened this box I knew it would be different. I saw a Walker reverse ender looking at me & I finally saw a reverse Kennedy silver half also showing. When I went thru the box this is what I found:

2 90s - 1942 "S" Walker & a 1893 Columbian Commerative Half (It's in pretty good condition for its age)

11 40s - 1967x5 1968x5 1969x1

This sure makes up for all the skunk boxes over the past year. I can't wait until next week to see what turns up. Maybe I have finally hit the mythical bottom of the pallet everyone talks about.

Awesome finds! Gotta make some noise for anyone who finds an old commem half - those are tough and really cool. I'd take that over a Walker or even a Barber any day of the week! Congrats!

I have one of those Columbian halves that I got from my grandmother - it was part of my dad's or my uncle's collection as a kid. I'd never in a million years have expected that anyone would be finding coins like that in rolls in 2013 until I started reading these forums.

Really nice box Gary!
My 1893 CC is still my favorite find.
Hope another such box comes your way in the near future.
