I have been going through boxes of halves since December, 2010. I currently am going through five boxes a week. I will reach the half a million dollar mark next week. This past Wednesday I did my "bank run". For the last three weeks, I have found nothing. My wife makes cakes/breads to give to the tellers. I was going to eight different banks to give them their "treat". On my third stop, I went to a bank I only go to every couple of months to buy CWR's. Upon entering the two tellers recognized me, one saying he didn't have anything. The second had $60 in nickels. The manager said she had some coin and went to her vault. Once there she inquired what I was looking for again. I replied, "Pennies, nickels, dimes and halves". She brought out the cans of pennies, nickels and dimes. She said I have a roll of halves and laid it on the counter. I could see it was taped shut. She then opened it and searched it finding three 40%ers. She said she was keeping them for herself. I didn't say a word. I finished my "bank run" at 1345 hrs. Once home I first go through the four boxes of dimes. We had to leave at 1530 hrs., returning at 1800 hrs. I finished the dime boxes, finding two silver. I then open the five half boxes and stack them in the order I will search them. I get two from one bank and three from another. One of the three was taped shut because the box was falling apart. I opened it first. It was unbelievable. There were twelve enders. Four were Walking Liberties, three Bens and the rest Kennedys. The next two boxes showed no enders. The other two boxes showed two enders and one ender. As of this writing, I have gone through three and a half of the boxes. Box 1 - (1) Walking Liberty, (17) 40%ers. Box 2 - (33) 40%ers. Box 3 - (2) 90% Kennedys, (1) 1952 BTW/GWC Commemorative (9) 40%ers. Box 4 - (3) 90% Kennedys, (8) 40%ers. After posting this I will finish Box 4 then start on Box 5.
