I half a dream...

Good boxes have been far and few between for me this year but I finally got a great one last night! Opened up the box to find three 40% enders... didn't get my hopes up because I've had numerous boxes with multiple enders that yield just one or two more than what was showing.

Not this box! I got a few rolls in and suddenly nearly every roll had a silver in it... several had multiples. I came across my best roll from a box with five silvers. I've had two-week stretches without finding as much silver as was in this single roll.

Triples:

Quadruples:

Quintuple:

After all was said and done, we came out with 53 silvers, 6x90% (including a '63 Franklin) and 47x40%, totaling 9.12 ounces. All of the rolls with enders had multiple silvers, and two out of the three had four of them.

To put it in perspective, this box had more silver than the months of January-February (54 boxes) or February-March (56 boxes). Hunting from January-March (82 boxes) yielded only 1.64 ounces and ONE more silver than this box.

It may also be worth noting that this was box #200 for the year (surpassing $100,000 searched in boxes). This will chalk up as my best box to date and will likely stand for a long time. I can't even imagine finding a FULL dream box when this was only HALF of a dream box. Twice the excitement I guess.

Happy hunting everyone!

Good work on the silver score. Better work on the title of the thread!

Aw man! Well, I thought it was good on multiple levels... half = half dollar AND the box had just over 50 silvers so half of a dream box, plus the obvious play on "I have a dream"... so, "I half a dream!" No? Nobody???

That's what I meant - I just didn't word it very well. Let me try again. You did good work on the silver score, but you did even better work on the title of the thread! :)

Sorry for continuing this thread, as no one has posted on it for almost 15 days, but I was doing the math based on my current statistics, and I have calculated that you have a 0.0401% chance of finding a roll with 5 silvers. That equates to about one every 2500 rolls. Pretty impressive, and congrats on the dream box!
