Everyone,
I've been doing CRH for a couple of months now and hit one good box of dimes that included 5 Rosies and 5 Mercs; my one and only great haul. It was definitely enough to get me hooked completely!! Today, I went through 1 box of halves and I still can't comprehend everything I got. I have no idea what they are worth, but they sure look good. It includes 8 Walking Liberties, 21 Franklins, and 169 Kennedy halves (21 of them are '64s which are the last year before they dropped to 40% silver). Here are some pictures...thanks for looking...Brad Ben Backs.jpg Ben Ender.jpg Ben Franklin Front.jpg Kennedy Side View.jpg Kennedys Top Down View.jpg Walking Liberty Back.jpg Walking Liberty Ender.jpg Walking Liberty Front.jpg

Amazing score, what a lucky box! To me, it looks like today when silver is $16.67/oz, the silver value alone of the halves are around $666.35 for $99 FV invested. That doesn't include the numismatic/collector value of the Walkers or Franklins. Congrats on the find. I hope you savored it because it will likely be a long time before you come across another that great!

That's a dream box and if we actually did banner votes in this forum, then I would vote banner...but we don't. Congrats

Nice finds there. Maybe that box has a companion box coming in next week! Good luck and congrats on getting a dream box. They aren't seen very often in a CRH's search.
