I pick up my first two tomorrow and I'm expecting the same. Still excited though as I'm a noob at it. Did find out that there are other banks in the area that have coin machines and one of them is 90% full. Will grab that one soon. HH.

Update! I only edge-checked boxes 2-4 last night. Woke up this morning to to a quick scan of the 150 stacks of halves on my dining room table. Not expecting to find any silver, but just to see if there were any proofs, commemoratives, etc.

What do you know?

Sure didn't look like silver. I basically found it by doing a sound-check without realizing that's what I was doing. I was taking each stack and dumping it from my right hand into my left accordion-style, then into the bag.

Skunk averted!

Skunk crisis averted! I have a feeling your next silver will be much easier to find and in much higher quantities.

Exactly why ONLY rim checking is BAD(if you want tonfind the dirty 40% ers)
If youre not going to date check ALWAYS sound check at min
Nice job

just keep stacking, just keep stacking, stacking stacking stacking

My next four boxes yielded another 2 40%ers - both from the same box. One was an ender. Also got a 2006 proof, my 13th different proof. Something new for the Dansco, so that's nice.

I only ordered 2 boxes for next week. It felt exhausting going through 8 this week, and dumping the first 4. Not nearly as enjoyable as the groove I was in with dimes and nickels.
