Throwback (?) Half Dollar Box

[blueberra]

To set the stage, I get a box of half dollars every week. Silvers in 2021 thru first 8 boxes : 1 solitary 40%er.

This week, I opened the box and I spotted a 1969D ender. I told my wife, "Good news, I don't have a skunk box this week."

So I opened the ender first and was pleasantly surprised to see another silver (40%) next to the ender. At that point, I had TRIPLED the YTD silver content.

But, as the Top 40 DJs used to say, the hits just kept on coming.

Bottom line :

6 90% silver (2 Franklin, 4 Kennedy)
40 40% silver (1 '65, 4 '66, 10 '67, 20 (an entire roll) '68D, 5 '69D)

Amazing ! There really is a random factor in
CRH - despite all of our attempts to impose
patterns , or predictable trends on it .

Hard to hang in there after so many boxes that stink. Congrats on the finds.

Congrats on your big catch. Silver is still out there, just have to be patient.

Picked up a half $ box the other day. Found 5-40% and a Good 1939-D Walker. Haven't found a Walker in years. What a surprise find.

Exactly. We tend to think in terms of normal distributions - means, standard deviations, etc., but silver is not normally distributed. Would it be more or less fun if it was?

I still can't get boxes, but got 9 loose halves from the teller's till yesterday and 2 were 40%.
