The last 3 months have been pretty slow, but September has started out very good. Last weeks box to start the month had a 52-S Franklin, a 64, 64-D, 66, 5x 67, 4x 68-D, and 3x 69-D.

I picked-up this weeks box today and found this

Nice to see a Walker showing. I wanted to take a closer look at the dark half in the upper left corner and found another Walker looking up at me under it. I flipped the top row and found 3 more end Walkers.

All together 6 Walkers on the ends along with a silver Kennedy and a dark Proof.

It was a very fun box to open. The final results

31 Walkers and 3 Franklins

8 Proofs that look like they could have been in a fire

A 1978 Irish 50P and a 50 cent casino token from the Par-A-Dice casino in Peoria, IL

By far my best Walker total for a single day and good motivation to keep searching. I've had a lot of boxes in the last 2 years with one tight end a one kind of smashed end like you see in the pictures. I had thought that maybe someone had already looked at them and rerolled, but I guess this box proves they just have a machine that rolls that way.

Going to do a long road trip Friday and hope the luck continues.

Thanks everybody. Looking forward to picking up my next box to see if it might have been the one before or after this one in line.

Well I'm pretty new at this but it looks like those rolls have been opened. I have gone thru 4 boxes and never seen a warehouse roll that was torn up or opened in anyway. Did you open those? Still a great find if it's real. ??? ???

Dream box, that must have got your blood pumping when you tore the top off that box! Good to see Brinks boxes are still producing. Congrats!
Jrandy, it's real. I've seen it before.
