I got all the silver

[FormerTeller]

Was going through a box of halves that had somehow escaped my attention for a few weeks; I think I set it aside before leaving on vacation, and forgot about it. I wasn't too keen on going through it anyway, as it was a Loomis box with a date stamp on it, one that I have gotten skunked on 11 times in a row. I was actually starting to believe the rumor of armored car companies removing silver from circulation...

Anyway, about halfway through the box I come across a couple of marked coins.



I'm thinking, this is fitting.

Then, finally, I run across a 1968 half. One 40% out of 12 boxes is a horrible average, but better than nothing, and great to know that the rumor is just that. Plus I love the irony of finding those marked coins with the silver:





Back in the saddle again!

HH!

I have never found anything in a Loomis or Garda box, if I can get some that aren't repacked crap. HH, Maverick.

Whoever marked those coins is a glittering jewel of colossal ignorance (one of my favorite pejorative phrases...)

This person did you a service by giving you the 40%. I'd frame it on the wall, hopefully you two will cross paves one day, and he/she will give you their entire collection. Its probably the only 40% they set free, ever.

In my part of town you'd get a black eye if'n you said something like that.

Interesting... where are you from? I have gotten several halves with the exact same hand writing saying "I got all the silver" in Loomis boxes from central Arkansas. And yes I have found silver in those same boxes
