First 90% Is a Walker! (Updated with other finds and pics)

I picked up a partly filled bag from my CU's coin counter (about $530) and I got my first 90% half from CRH, a 1945 Walker!

Here are the final results (with pics):

90% - '45 Walker and '64

40% - '67, '69 D

Proofs - Full set from '71 - '89 (2 x '79)

NIFC - 13 x '04 P, 7 x '04 D, '06 D, 2 x '08 D, '10 D, '11 D

Also, it seems that the halves bag on this machine doubled as the reject bin, based on these and a bunch of bent pennies, dimes, and quarters:

Still working on it, but 1 40%, 4 clad proofs, and about 15 NIFC so far (plus some random tokens). I'll post pics when I'm done.

Updated first post. Not really sure how to actually show the pics instead of just links...

Thanks, fixed it. There must have been some sort of issue when I tried earlier.

What is that thing in the top left corner of the token picture? The halves bag is commonly the reject bag for coin machines, if there isn't a tray inside.

Crushed quarter (I can just make out Washington's nose). Haha, I was just joking about it being the reject bin, interesting that it probably actually is.

Nice bag!

Thanks! It was a great first (large) quantity of halves!

I would visit that machine and visit it often.

It's the machine I get all my coins from. It did take months to get to that number, but now that the bank knows how to sell it without being full (which I think they looked into specifically for me; the tellers are awesome), I should be able to get in the $100 range every week or so.
