12/3/2011 15 Boxes - My Best Day Ever - 3 SOLID ROLLS - 117 KEEPERS!!

[Bigheed]

So it looks like Murphy's law has struck me in a positive way....just days after I said in the CWR vs. Boxes threads that I would never find solid rolls.....it happened!!

It was also a sick day for the 15 boxes I had! In November I had 26x90%....from this 24 hour period I had 22! 7 walkers, 4 Franklins, & 11x1964!

Picked up 4 boxes at one of my regular banks and then stopped by a smaller one that I have found a couple loose silver at before. "Do you have any half dollars" (teller I haven't talked to before) , "Yes I have 3 rolls, some old lady brought them in, I think some of them are silver, one of the personal bankers bought a bunch of them from me before, I guess you can sell them for some money but I dont care....." The epic widow story finally happened to me!!

So I am thinking......ok theres maybe a couple in there.....

30 bucks get out to my car, first roll is double enders.....pour it out.....SOLID!!!! check other 2 rolls enders.....all silver....wait to bring them home so wife can open them cause I already know they are solid at that point.

Also had 15 boxes that produces alot!! This was my single best 24 hour period in CRHing history. Without further ado here is the breakdown!

Hey Bigheed, I am overwhelmed with jealousy and envy..... With that said, I am also very happy for you on this amazing score (the solid rolls! Boxes are great too, but I am talking specifically about the solid silver rolls (multiples too??) that have still eluded me).

Very good for you heed, I also must say that reading about this score, and hearing you say that you really thought there was no chance you would score the solid roll, let alone rolls- relates especially to me... It just seems like such a low percent chance occurance, that I have a hard time really believing that I will eventually find this great treasure one day.... I know I will-with hard work, and determination, its just hard to be positive about it all the time... as you know im sure.

But anyways, great job man, I know you work extremely hard for your "little silver beautys", and this find has been earned many times over by the work you put in im sure.

Happy hunting, and I look forward to your posting of your next solid roll find, (I look forward to it being my turn much more, but I wish you more luck all the same....)

Great job.


Chris.
