Hey everyone, well, I did 22 boxes this week ( whewff, alot for me) of the 22, 17 were skunks, I got 6 last night which is where this came from, only 5 produced, 1 was a skunk, the majority came really from 4 of the boxes and the most came from 1 box that had only 1 ender in the bottom of the box, but gave up like 30( I didn't keep good count) Silvers. I have had a string of skunks here as you guys know, 2 good hits in the last 60-80 boxes, but that is alot of skunks to go through to get this!
i tried to do a play by play with the pics for you, so they pretty much run in order of me opening the boxes up.

The highlights are= 1908 Barber! 2008s Silver proof!

Enjoy the pics, I hope they all load up, it took me about 25 min to do this. Good luck to everyone hunting today! HH, Maverick.

Well, upon doing the preview post, it seems it left out some pics, so enjoy what it loaded up.

Forgot to total everything for you guys. 67 40's and 19 90's, Thanks.

Way to go Mav! A lot of work and a lot of skunks to get through, but your total finds, even spread over 22 or 23 boxes, are pretty good.

wow man! very exciting finds. i can relate with you regarding the skunk streaks, but it seems like those few boxes always seem to even out them out in the end. hope you make some more great finds this weekend!

Nice! I always hope for the different hard to find coins more than just bulk 40's but haven't gotten a 90% in months now. Been wanting one of the silver proofs and a Barber half forever. Good that you got a few good ones.

Nice pull on that proof; it's a damn shame it's as messed up as it is. The 2008-S has a mintage of 620,684 (low mintage for a silver proof half). It could've probably brought at least $16+ before circulation. Being conservative about it, it could still probably get $1-$2 over melt for it if you were to eBay it. Good finds, Mav!

Thanks guys, I got to tell ya though, it is getting to far few and between anymore it seems, it's nice to hit a few boxes like this but, they are getting very scarce it seems the last few months, I'm extremely pleased with the finds, just wish I didn't have to push through upwards up 80 boxes to find some like this, it is a lot of work for me to get to one or 2 like this, I'm barely breaking even, if not costing me right now, hope we see the Big rise in Silver someday, it will make all this work worth while I hope, this is my 401k backer I'm building for when I'm old, well I am allready old lol, when I'm older. HH, Maverick.

You should supplement some of that half box hunting with CWR and dime boxes. I average 1.6 silver dimes per box. Advantages of dimes: easier to carry, easier to dump (bags don't fill up as often as half dollars [TD]), and most places always have them. Of course, your culls will be smaller, but they will be more consistent. With the amount of dimes I hunt, I fill a roll every 2 months(ish). Thanks for posting with those pics! My pet peeve is people with consistent huge scores who always says they are going to post pics without ever doing so.

Who's Maverick Blows? LOL!!! That funny S***! That's one sweet haul man! Thanks for all the porn. I know it takes time to do but I'm sure everyone is enjoying it! Love the Barber! I have a few but never from the wild. The 2008 silver proof is very nice too. Your last couple of months sound like mine. Just before the holidays it really slowed down and have had a decent week here and there but a lot of skunk boxes to get to the Ag. I keep telling myself I'm taking a week or so off..but I just can't seem to do it. Haha! Great score Mav! Congrats!

Sweet score Maverick!!! At least someone is finding it. I'm in the skunks now, so it looks like you've got the Ag magnet pointed back in you direction. Hehe

Hey Info, ya, it's funny, it was actually done by MrsCRH's husband ( I'll out her now since she said it on Thripps thread allready), about oh, 6 months ago I think I sent some of my marked coins out in the wild and she and her husband got some in 1 of there boxes so, they added the "Blows" under Maverick. No biggy, all in good fun. I know thripp got one a little bit back too, maybe even the same one. So, it was funny to see them show up, I think Florida finder got one too, if I'm not mistaken. Here's the link to the thread, pretty funny, they were enders in their box. HH, Maverick. http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/coin-roll-hunting/312232-maverick-these-yours.html
