I wish I could remember what the total was. But I know I have found 20 40%er's and 6 90 %er's in a box. That when my wife got intested in looking also. But lately they have been few and far between, so she dosen't help anymore......Matt

wow, what a great box, I'm suprised on how many 90%'ers you got and only a few 40%'ers... great score, that would be a mega-dream box!!!

Had to look up the exact totals and it was a $1000 bag not a box, but my best ever from one bag/box was

2 Barbers
121 Walking Liberty
175 Franklin
126 - 90% Kennedy
35 - 40% Kennedy

It was a road trip and there were other stops as well. Here is the post:

That's an awesome box, over 158 ounces of silver. Imagine getting that when silver was almost $37 an ounce!
