Hi all, I have recently been posting about my dismal luck searching lately, with a scarce 40% here and there, as some of you may have read.
Today the last box was at my bank waiting for this week, and upon picking it up, I advised the Vault manager to cease ordering... my plan being to order from another company for a while and get a new source to search.
WELL.
I popped the glued lip of the box up when I got home, almost in a non-interested way, since this supplier had dried up on me for 2 months almost. And what did I see ? Franklin here, '64 there, Franklin over here... YES. Maybe a good one for a change. I then flipped the whole box and peeked in the holes just to see if anything caught my eye... and what did I see ?? Franklin here, Walker there, Walker over here, Franklin over there..
Now I was getting pumped. I figured the ends having so many goodies, the rest in the rolls would almost certainly be fruitful. And it certainly was.
I have no idea HOW this amount of OLD silver gets into new boxes, but I am sure glad it does. I was certainly due for a score, but I didnt realize it would be this nice. Rather than list each one, I took a picture. Have a look

The entire top row , are all Franklins. The entire 2nd row are all Walkers. The 3rd group are 1964's.
The little stack on the right is made up of 6 40% halves. And the left two singles. BARBERS baby !!
Now this is more like it. Oh BTW, after the 5th roll I opened, I called the Bank fast, and said "nevermind, keep ordering them please". HAHA I had one roll that had 2 Walkers, 1 Barber, 2 Franklins and a 40%. That happened to be the 5th roll, so thats when I called
Keep searchin ! I hope this strike lasts a few more boxes. They must have gotten a new batch to roll from somewhere, and its LOADED.
Take care - Raptor686
