Picked up a box of halves yeseterday; it gave up eight keepers, two 90%ers and six 40%ers:

1963D Ben
1964
1966
1967
1968D x 3
1969D

8-)

Nice box. It's been a while since I've found a box that good. You found more silver in that box than I've found in my last 18 boxes. My last good box that I got on 7-15 was very similar to yours - it had a '64 and 8 x 40% but that sure seems like quite a while ago. I'm sure hoping for better boxes this month. Hope you can find more good boxes like this one too.

H$H!

Picked up $180 worth of CWR of halves today on my lunch break. Four of them were taped shut and felt slightly heavier than the rest...

From those four taped rolls I found a total of fifteen keepers! Three 90%ers, and twelve 40%ers:

1964 x 3
1966 x 2
1967 x 7
1968D x 3

Coingrats on a nice cwr score. I always like seeing those rolls with the different looking/taped wrappers. Been a while since I've had a cwr score that good but I had a small score with some loose halves at a bank yesterday. I got a '49 Ben and two 40% from $7 in loose halves. The '49 Ben is my first pre - '51 Ben I've ever found. Didn't you find a '48 or '49 Ben fairly recently yourself?

Thanks. Not recently, but I did find one a few months back I believe. I can't remember exactly when. Haha.

Nice grab from only $7 worth of loose halves!

Now that's a sight for sore eyes. I've found 2 Roosevelt dimes in my last 11 boxes

Dimes have been HORRIBLE for me lately. Absolutely horrible. These last two boxes have definitely been a welcomed change.

Picked up a box of dimes over the weekend, as that's all I've had time to search with all of the renovations I'm doing to my home.

The box gave up one Roosie: 1951.
