Well I got my 3 boxes from the CU- have gone through just over 1 1/2. First box was very interesting- not so much quantity but quality. Results from the first box...drum roll please, another Walker (1942), (4) '64's, (1) '67, beautiful gold '76, and a frosted head '91 proof. Don't ask me where all the 40%ers went- I like the 90's better anyways haha. Here's a couple pics from the first box take.

I'm $300 into the second box and so far have only 2 silvers, Ben and a '64. Its like someone was sitting at the rolling machine with a bucket of silver and throwing one in ever so often to spread them out- most all the other coins are marked. Hopefully they got bored by the third box and just dumped all the silver in at once haha. I can dream can't I? HH all, Mark

Second box done. Ben and (3) '64, (0) 40%ers. This is from the place where last week I got 13 40's and no 90's out of a box. Very strange but I like it. HH Mark

I had to do them all. First roll to show silver in the third box gave me twofors, Lady Walker and Mr. Franklin. I kept up my average of 5/box, with a twist haha. Third box had one Walker, (2) Bens, (1) '64, and (1) '68 bringing the total silvers for 3 boxes to 15, only 13 of them are 90's. If I weren't so tired I don't know what I would do haha- great night of entertainment for me. Take care all- I'll get some more pics in AM. HH Mark

Thanks LJ. I thought the 90/40 ratio was pretty good too- almost like getting 30 instead of 15. Lots of empty rolls but when there was silver it was a streak and not just a dirty edge. Very exciting night especially with the Walkers and Bens popping up from time to time- I was even having thoughts of catching a Barber things were so good. I swear it was just like someone was at the roller with a bunch of silver tossing one in ever so often to spread them out. HH, Mark
