Hey everybody, I've been meaning to make a post about this for a few weeks now but just haven't had time. Hunting has been very slow for me lately but this goes to show that mixed among the skunks are some good boxes.

I picked up this box and cracked it open and could not believe my eyes. The first thing I saw was a reverse barber ender staring back at me. Not only is this my first ever barber half dollar in nearly 7 years of searching but it was an ender as well! The box ended up having a total of 8 silver enders and gave up a total of 59 silvers:

1896 barber
1 walker (1943)
4 Bens (1951d x2, 1952, 1962d)
8x 1964
45 40%

It was the best I've gotten in several years now. It's still out there, you just have to go through many more skunks to find the good boxes.
Enjoy the pics and hope everybody has a happy and safe holiday!

What a lovely showing of some "HEAVY METAL" all in one box. Fantastic find of hopefully the holiday silver that has finally arrived. Congrats.
 
Now that's what I call a box! That's the first 19th century half I've seen on here in a while, nice to see you can still find a 120 year-old coin in the wild. Persevering through those skunks paid off!
 
Very nice box! I'd be grabbing another from the same bank asap just in case. Keep stacking it up! :occasion14:
 
Congrats on an excellent box. It's always nice to see someone's patience rewarded!
 
Damn...nice score!
 
Awesome box!!! Congrats!
 
Hey Buffaloboy,
Way to go. Congrats on a great find.

Incredible box, a grand slam and then some! Congratulations!
 
That's awesome!
 
That should help motivate me through my current skunk streak. The Barbers is the most spectacular, but I'd take any of those great finds. Keep up the good work and thanks for the motivating pictures...Brad
 
Hey Buff, nice job! Awesome box! HH, Maverick.
 
Nice box, makes me jealous, I'm lucky if boxes around produce 1 40%. Nice finds with that one.
 
Nice box, BB. :icon_thumleft:
 
Thanks everybody!!

Hey Rileyboy, good to see you hanging around, hope everything is going well for you! Best of luck to you and your searches!

Thanks Avago, congrats on your recent barber half dollar as well!

Hey Brad, persistence pays off! This year has been a very strange year for hunting for me-- LOTS of skunks but it seems like when a box produces it gives up a lot. But this box has to be within the top 5 boxes ive ever gotten and I have been hunting since 2010. Keep at it and good luck!

Hey Mav, thanks! Nice to see you post, good luck and HH!
Hey Buff, nice job! Awesome box! HH, Maverick.
 
congrats on a pretty incredible box! a barber ender is just absurd :-)
 
I've read of trifecta 90%'s found but a quad? That is an awesome box...did you also buy a lotto ticket?
 
Beautiful! That's why I keep chasing them!
