Got 2 of 4 boxes from the bank today, going back tomorrow for the other two and two more at a different bank. They are all Loomis. I keep hearing that Loomis culls silver.
Well they didn't cull this box. I got 9 40% and 1 90% 1964

Also one of the 40% a 1967 is a SMS, Special Mint Set half. It is frosty and sharp with really sharp rims and almost no marks. An easy MS62-MS63

I was expecting a skunk since I have been getting at least 1 silver per box for a while with my longest skunk streak in the last 2 months was 2 (although in January I went 8 boxes dry)

The 1967 SMS is a beauty

My three boxes from loomis last week gave up 12-40%ers and 3-90%ers. That's the best I've had in months from loomis. Average has been 1 per box.

From what I have heard the average across the country seems to be about 1 to 1.5 per box regardless of courier, or at least Garda and Loomis. I have been beating that but it can't last

Going through (2) Loomis boxes right now and 75% through first box have found (3) 90%ers and (2) 40%ers. So there is definitely silver in Loomis boxes. Will post up my results in a thread once I get through the rest :)

I was a firm believer for a while that loomis half boxes had no silver. Me and another hunter in my area must have gone through 30k worth with nothing during a time when loomis took over all the area banks. Then I eventually got a box that had like 8 40% in it. After that all the banks started getting the NF string boxes again and it was back to normal. Some good boxes some skunks.

The cube brinks boxes were never that great in my area either
