2011 Totals

[ArkieBassMan]

My goal every year is to find more silver than I found the year before, and I met that goal in 2011 even though I haven't opened a roll since early September. Honestly don't know why. I didn't keep exact records on the volume I did, but I would guesstimate it was a little under $100,000 (mostly halves), and I logged several thousand miles just on road trips alone. Altogether I found 56 solid rolls of silver halves - 53 of which came from one stop. Of those 56, 52 were 40% (1 of those rolls contained 22 coins), 3 were all 90% containing Bens and Walkers, and 1 had 1 '64 Ken and 19 40%.

Non-silver

2 U.S. large cents (1820, 1835)
1 Indian
12 wheats
1 Buffalo nickel
3 clad commemorative halves
dozens of clad proof halves

Silver

3 War nickels
9 Rosies
1 Merc
1 Washington quarter
1845 40% (2 bicentennial, 1 '70D, 1 '70S)
59 90% Kens
53 Bens
62 Walkers
3 90% proof halves
1 90% commemorative half

Its gonna be tough to top that in 2012, but thats the goal. HH everyone!

Great year ABM, and more Walkers than 90% Kens is really sweet.

Hope 2012 brings you loaded boxes, and silvery road trips.

Un-freakin'-real. I'd drop dead if I found 52 rolls of silver. I think I remember that, though. Do you think you can top that in 2012? Here's to you

That would be one wild stop to find that many, I'd fill so many holes in my walker album to boot!
