So last week, I hit a half box with 8 silvers in it, with 6 of them being 90%ers.
I hit another good box, but it only had 7. (I'll take that every day and twice on Sundays).
2-40s and 5 more 90s. I'm loving it!
However, the box was only a part of my best day ever. Much like I got my first cent bag from the bank last week, I got my first half bag off the bank's coin counter. This one came as a surprise. Thursday, my cell phone righs with a strange number. I answered, prepared to tell off the solicitor, when this voice tells me we have a bag of halves and a bag of dollars. I said thank you, I'll be there Saturday morning (since Friday was a banking holiday).
I walked in and she apologized because they had sent the dollars on to "the Fed" (right...) on Thursday, but they had the halves. I was thrilled. I got home and started looking the sealed bag over, just to see what I could spot.
You gotta love seeing that right through the bag.
Well, I know I've got at least two in this bag!
I won't keep you in suspense too long.
The bag had a total of 21 silver halves. 2-90s and 19-40s.
Combined with the box, that's 7-90s and 21-40s in one day.
That's a new record day for me!
Happy Hunting All!!

Nice couple of scores congrats. You're really lucky that you're able to get bags off the coin counting machine. Around here the banks won't do that. FYI if any of the halves are 1965, weight them. Some 90% blanks were used instead of 40% blanks. The 40% weigh 11.5 grams while the 90% weigh 12.5 grams. Also some 1966 halves are missing the designers initials (FG) on the back. Both of these will be error coins.
