Thought I'd do a route that I go on about once a month. About 40 miles total, but it's a big highway with plenty of banks in shopping centers. Only problem is the traffic and there was a lot of it today. Almost made me quit and go back about halfway, but decided to stick it out. First seven banks produced nothing but two clad half dollars. Was getting discouraged quickly with no finds and lots of traffic. The last bank I usually stop at before turning around and heading back is a branch of my bank. The two guy tellers are always nice to me because if it's not busy we chat for a bit about sports etc. Also, this is the bank I usually "dump" whatever junk I've gotten so far. Anyway, one of the tellers said he had just gotten two rolls from a guy about an hour ago. I told him I must be lucky because these are the only ones I've gotten so far today except for the two I mentioned before. Got to my car and opened one end and low and behold there was shiny silver peeking back. Opened the other end and "yup" silver again. Poured it out and the whole roll was silver. Same for the other roll....."all silver". Here's the total: (2) 90% 1964s, (3)....1965. (4)...1966, (16)...1967,
(11)...1968, (4)...1969. This really keeps the streak alive! Hopefully the pixs I took with my cell phone come through okay.

BTW..Forgot to mention that many of the coins are in really nice condition and worth saving. I think my photos came out okay. All the best to everyone and "let the streak continue".

That is awesome that the streak is still alive!!! Why don't you ship a little of that luck out towards the west coast?! Congratulations on keeping it alive, and I hope you can find some more silver on the next trip!!

Okay, okay my conscience is gettin me here, you got me on that one- did see a few of my 128 %40'ers that would make a good picture the rest are gonna take some soaking if ya knows what means.
 
That's great! I need a Riley dog or to take a road trip to your town.
 
Wish ever one would or knew how to hit "edit" button and shrink them pics to fit the page, I find %20 to %26 works well.
