1968D
1969D

The second box gave up:

1964
1967

The third box gave up:

1937 Walker

Congrats! The silver seams to be a steady stream for you lately.
 

Picked up a box of halves today, it gave up one 40%er: 1969D.

Also found a gold-plated coin that I marked back in March.

Picked up two boxes of halves yesterday, one of which was a skunk. The other box gave up eight 40%ers, three of which were reverse enders:

1966
1967 x 3
1968D x 2
1969D x 2

The box also had 25 regular clad proofs, ten of which were bicentennials. The newest proof was a 2008S.
 

You seem to be doing very well. Very consistent. I think I would rather be consistent than have tons of skunks and then one great box. it gives me faith that there is more silver out there. Happy hunting.
 

Hey MM! Glad to see you're doing great! Just checking in with ya, keep stackin it man! HH, Maverick.
 

Weathered a short skunk streak of ten boxes this week, but then picked up two boxes of halves yesterday that broke it. Each box had one ender.

First box gave up a 90%er and three 40%ers:

1964
1965
1967 x 2

Second box gave up three 40%ers:

1966
1967
1969

Haven't found a Washington in the wild in awhile either, nice find! I got a teller tray Washington once and one or two reject chute ones. Nice little silver streak going again, that's more like it! :thumbsup:

Picked up two boxes of dimes + $170 in MWR of halves earlier in the week. As I was traveling for work I wasn't able to search them until last night. Skunked on the halves and one box of dimes, the other box of dimes gave up a lone Roosie: 1964.
 

Picked up two boxes of halves + $20 in CWR of halves + $9 in loose halves + $13 in loose Ikes over the weekend.

Skunked on one box of halves, the CWR, the loose halves, as well as the loose Ikes.

The other box of halves gave up four keepers, two 90%ers and two 40%ers:

1964 x 2
1965
1966

Haven't done much hunting in the last month. Been busy doing house projects, working fence jobs, partying, and going on vacation and whatnot.

Last week I picked up two boxes of halves + two boxes of dimes. One box of each denomination was a skunk.

Between the second box of dimes and the second box of halves I found one Roosie and two 40%ers:

1946 Roosie
1967
1968D

Also managed to snag a 1964D Roosie from a Coinstar at my local Wal-mart.

Should be kicking up the volume again starting this week.
 

Picked up a box of halves + a box of dimes yesterday on my lunch break, skunked on the halves.

The box of dimes gave up one Roosie: 1962.
 

Nothing but skunks for me for the last couple of weeks or so. Dumped $250 in halves today on my lunch break and found $2.72 in the reject tray. 8-)

Out of that $2.72 I scored two silver Washingtons and a Ben! :laughing7:

one.webp

Sorry, the picture is really blurry because I suck at taking pictures with my old-ass not-smartphone.

The breakdown:

1964 x 2 Washingtons
1954 Ben

Nice job on the reject chute finds! I hear ya about the skunky mix lately, it has been affecting me also. Hopefully things start improving as it can't get much worse.
 

Some of us have yet to find one quarter per year. Nice catch.
