Dream Box, Does it Qualify? PICS

[Gooseman]

Hi all, had this happen on Thursday and debated whether I should post because of the recent negative posts and credibility questioning lately. Being a newer member to this forum, (not new to coin collecting or hunting) I figured some questions would arise. Oh well if this post encourages one hunter who has been struggling it is worth the post. On Thursday I went to one of my pick up bank as I had ordered six boxes(they are notorius for forgetting to order) and the teller said they only ordered two this week do you still want them? I said of course, but was frustrated but I do know this is part of the game. One box had been dropped and had some rolls almost falling out of the box. I started with this box and I could not believe what I saw. Three of the first five rolls had enders and the box ended up with nine enders. One roll had six, and several had five. In all there were 96 40%ers and three 1964's. A total of 99 in one box. This is the first time I have tried pictures I hope they turn out.

Nope...sorry you are 1 short of a certifiable dream box ! But seriously, that's a helluva box by any standard...I don't care how you label it, I'd be burning incense to the silver gods asking for another one!

Congratulations!!!

that would qualify as a loaded box for sure - congrats!

I'm sure hoping for a box like that sometime soon - or even half that good would be amazing!

It's still out there!

Good luck with the other boxes!

Very nice score! 99 keepers these days is something you don't see too often.

I know, 27 was my best box before this one in over 1000 boxes searched.

Don't ya just love it when things turn out like this, Great job of finding something we all would like to get.

If you searched 1,000 boxes then you were due big time for a dream box. That is the "Wow Factor"! HH

Nice dude

Congrats on a great find!

 

[clovis97]

Wow!!! Congrats!!!!

So there might be hope for me yet...the best box I've ever opened held 16 silver keepers, most of them 40's.

BTW, I think the accepted term of 'dream box' has 100 silver keepers, but I'm calling this one like horse shoes and hand grenades. It is close enough to count.

Again, congrats!!!!!

In my dictionary this qualifies as a dream box. Great score

 

[ImpurestStewart]

Loaded box? Yes. Dream Box? Close. I'd consider a dream box 200 90%s. With that said, THAT IS AN AWESOME BOX!!!

 

[Bigheed]

amazing box for sure, huge congrats !!

Let me do my math hunting 4 years 10 boxes per week appx 2000 boxes and the closest I've come to that is about 75 or 80 coins

Nice recovery!
