50 plus silver. With a good ratio of 90 to 40. I think im shooting low cuz I have not seen one yet. This year for sure a dream box has my name on it.

This has been discussed many times. It has to be 100.

In my searching over the last 2 years, and doing over 2000 boxes of halves, my best box was around 37 or 38 silvers... :/ Still lotta great finds, but no dream was fulfilled! hehe

100+ silvers - I've only had one. It had 155 90% and about 35 40%. That was an amazing box. It was quite a while ago and I have a feeling that those days are long gone. I seem to remember back in the day someone had a box with over 300 and of course there have been a couple banner finds with more. Nowadays you are much more likely to stumble on a find like that via customer rolls and a collection dump. Also with the price of silver so low your best bet for silver is just to buy it. You will likely see quite a return in the next few years.

If 100 is a dream box then it truly is still a dream for me. I have been keeping records for 3 years (717 boxes) and my best 3 boxes are these:

9 x 90% plus 21 x 40%
1 x 90% plus 32 x 40%
14 x 90% plus 9 x 40%

So 100 silvers in a box is more like a unicorn box in my experience. I have never been in the ballpark.

It was 115 walkers, 27 benns, 3 kenns 90%, and 26 kenns 40% and the other one 109 walkers, 24 benns, 6 kenns 90%, and 23 kenns 40%. The boxes were 5 days apart nov 30 and dec 5 2011. So unicorn boxes exist.

Right now any box with silver would be a dream box. A lot more ebbing than flowing lately for me that's for sure. Had a dream box of sorts yesterday, 176 NIFC's, does that count? I didn't think so.
