Cards, one of your boxes escaped and headed south...

[silvernd]

Fortunately my bank corralled it for me and I picked it up as part of my regular 2 box Thursday order. The first box was opened in 2011 and was a skunk of course. I waited to open your box until last night as my first box in 2012.

It was by far my best box ever, outdoing my entire 2011 production by a good margin (I started in October). In addition to being the first box of 2012, and opening it on the 1st, it had a number of other firsts for me.

1st foreign coin from CRH - 1966 British Penny
1st Walking Liberty - Well the 1942 was the first, but more were to follow
1st triple silver roll - All 90%s as well (2 WL and a Franklin)

All told this one box had 39 silver keepers + the British Penny + 21 NIFC 2009 + 15 NIFC 2006 + 1 NIFC 2003

Here's the breakdown:

90% - 11
WL
1 - 1946
3 - 1943
1 - 1942
1 - 1941
1 - 1938
Ben
2 - 1962
1 - 1960
Ken
1 - 1964

40% - 28
2 - 1969
6 - 1968
14 - 1967
5 - 1966
1 - 1965

Thanks again Cards for letting this box escape, it made my year and we're only a day in!

Glad I could help.

Your off to a great start in 2012 - 39 silver keepers + a British Penny is a great box!

I'd sure love to find a box like that myself someday.

Continued HH for the rest of 2012!

Thanks everyone. While I was going through it I couldn't help but think that this is how the CRH rockstars like CnC and db23 feel with their boxes on a regular basis.

I think I'm going to double my order from this bank if they'll let me to hopefully mine some more of this vein.

Just ordered 4 more boxes from this branch, but had to cancel my other normal order this week to fund it. Hope to find another box from this vein.

Can't wait 'til Thursday.

Finished the 4 boxes:

Box 1
1x1966
4x1967
7x1968
Box 2
Skunk
Box 3
Skunk
Box 4
Skunk

Box 1 was definitely the same batch. Had several of the same NIFC 2006 and 2009 as well.

I need to decide if I go back to two boxes at each bank next week or try one more 4 box order.
