Sounds like it is trickling in slow and steady.

 

[TheMastermind]

Yeah, and that's alright with me. I could use a really big score sometime soon, but I'll take what I can get. Haha.

Picked up two boxes of dimes + $30 in CWR of halves on my lunch break today. I'll search the boxes of dimes tonight.

Nice couple o' boxes there! Things picked up a bit for me this past week, hopefully the tide has turned to get back to last years numbers!

 

[TheMastermind]

Glad to hear things are picking up for you.

My boxes haven't been too bad lately, slow and steady the silver is trickling in. Would definitely like to come across a big score, but I can't complain.

Two boxes of halves last night gave up two keepers; a 90%er from one box and a 40%er from the other:

1962 Ben
1966

 

[TheMastermind]

Box of halves last night gave up one 40%er: 1968D.

Picked up two boxes of halves yesterday, one was a skunk. The skunk box also had two of my marked coins from last month in it.

The other box was pretty freakin' good, however. It had just one reverse ender, and gave up seven 90%ers and 48 40%ers!

Both boxes had the same four-digit code, 6037.

I wish I could've snapped a pic of the pile after all was said and done, but I don't have a camera or a camera phone.

Here's the tally:

1945 Walker
1952D Ben
1963 Ben
1964 x 4
1965 x 3
1966 x 9
1967 x 12
1968D x 15
1969D x 7
1969S Proof
Bicenntenial 1976S Proof

This was by far my best box for this year.

Awesome box Mastermind! I've been waiting for that stamp all year long, it's always produced well for me. I've been mired in skunky 6024's for the entire year. I hope to see that stamp start circulating regularly again! That more than doubles my best box from last year, sweet!!

 

[TheMastermind]

Those two 6037 boxes from last night was the first time this year that I saw that code. All my boxes previous have been either 6024 or 6026. The 6024's have all been skunks, all of them. The 6026's have been hit or miss, but not any really outstanding boxes.

I've got six more boxes to pick up this week, so hopefully I can get some more of that good 6037 batch.

 

[maverick]

Way to go MM!! Im glad you found that box and hope more of that code shows up for you! You deserve a great box! HH, Maverick.

Mastermind, fantastic box!! Hopefully the tides are changing again, this time for the better.

Congrats on a great box!!!
I have never seen a code on a box.

Picked up three boxes of halves + two boxes of dimes yesterday, was looking forward to a marathon hunting session last night.

All three boxes of halves as well as one of the boxes of dimes were skunks.

The second box of dimes gave up one Roosie, a gold-plated 1957, in THE LAST ROLL! Uggggh!

Oh well, better than nothing I suppose.
