Picked up two boxes of halves yesterday on my lunch break, one of which was a skunk.

The box that wasn't a skunk came from the branch that I got that good box from two weeks ago, and when I cracked it open I saw six enders staring back at me:

Can you spot 'em above?

It ended up being a pretty fun box! Multiple rolls had three keepers, one had four. There were only a few rolls that didn't contain any silver.

Total, the box gave up 44 keepers; one 90%er and 43 40%ers! 8-)

Here's the breakdown:

1964
1965 x 3
1966
1967 x 17
1968D x 17
1969D x 5
