Had a really good box for me, most 90%ers ever in a box, 2nd most silver ever, best variety.

Found 6 standard 40%ers
Found 1 '76-S AG mint strike
Found 1 '64
Found 2 Franklins ('60D, '63D)
Found 1 Walker ('42)
Found 1 1986-S Statue of Liberty half
Found 4 Proofs (including reverse ender)
Found 1 Gold plated half
Found 1 Counter-stamped half
Found 22 NIFC's

I had never found more than 2 90%ers before in a box, and amazingly I've still never found 2 '64's in a box.

Great job! Man the '76 AG's are coming out today. You me and info, trifecta! I'm jealous of the Walker, I haven't found one of those in a WHILE!

Nice box. That's amazing that you find more bens and walkers than 64s in your boxes. That's a good problem to have.

Very nice finds. I have a box of halves sitting on the coffee table to dive into tomorrow.

Congrats! Boxes like those are really fun to search. I had a similar box in January this year. It had 3 x 90%: '64 Ken, '51D Ben & a '45 Walker (in the last roll), 6 x 40% & 7 NIFC including a clad '76S obv. ender. These are the kind of boxes that help make up for the skunks. :)

H$H!

This is definitely my favorite box of all time. I really like finding the older ones and the variety is cool. AG '76-S is always a nice touch. It's my 3rd to go along with 5 non-AG -76-S's. I've never found a proof AG '76.

Since I've moved to Georgia I've found exactly as many 90%ers that weren't Kens (Walkers, Bens, Commem's) as I've found '64 Kens. Also found 127 40%ers, 31 proofs (not counting commemoratives), 3 Balboa's and 356 NIFC's.

Wanted to go out and find some nickels / dimes today but I don't think I've going to be able to get out.

I've only ever found 3 and they are all business strike's, never have found a proof '76-S AG (have 5 non-AG '75's). Did find a '70-S last summer.

I'm glad the South is working out for you; I still haven't found much (only 40%ers, '64's, a 68-S proof, about a roll of clad proofs, and about 5 rolls of NIFCs).

The only Balboa's I find are in dime boxes I think.

Congrats on your finds my friend!

It's working out ok so far. I also found my first Casino proof in a different box yesterday as well.

A warn out proof?

I've only found one of those, and it was in a CWR.

:thumbsup:

Yeah, I've found some proofs in bad shape before, but this is the first one that I think took a trip through the Casino. I missed it on the date check even but I happened to catch a glimpse of the mint mark when it was laying in the reject box.
