Opened up this box about a minute ago... Do you see what I see?

RESULTS UPDATE!

Some of you may know we've been on a super hot streak picking up boxes with some kind of collection dump lately. Opened up this box to a sweet familiar sight... enders, enders everywhere!

Turned out to be nine enders... the eight shown here (one Kender, three Benders and four Wenders) as well as a second Bender on the reverse of one of these, a double! Of course I had to save these for last!

Working through the box, I started finding similar results as some of the other killer boxes we had recently... A couple empty rolls followed by a loaded one filled with slick-rim 90%, mostly Franklins and Walkers. Most of the rolls in this box had fewer silvers in them than our previous boxes, but there were more rolls with silvers.

Here are some of the highlights:

The bottom right corner picture above was the only ender roll really worth noting. The reverse Kender was the only one in that roll, and the double Bender roll only had one more friend (another Ben of course!)

Didn't quite reach a dream box again, but the results are as follows: 90 Silvers - 87 x 90% and 3 x 40%.

3 x 40% Kennedy
15 x 1964 Kennedy
38 x Ben Franklin
34 x Walking Liberty

Silver total: 31.91 ounces!!

Enjoy the view!

Love the look. It has been a long time for me to have that view of a box.

It has been an amazing ride over the past few weeks. We've found more silver in such a short time than I ever imagined we could. It's just volume, persistence and luck!

Jyorsky, I believe an "official" dream box is 100 silvers; however, if a dream box contained 100 x 40% that would amount to 14.79 oz. This box contained 2.16x that amount of silver without breaking the 100 coin mark. Feels like a dream box to me...

I think we should also take into consideration the silver ounces when deeming a "dream box." For instance, maybe 14.79+ oz. in a box is also a dream box, the equivalent of 100 x 40%. Don't know, 40 x 90% would also reach that mark. Just putting it out there. Thanks for the comments, the silver gods have smiled upon me!
