Hi Everyone,

Wanted to share our outstanding February half dollar box hunting results with you all. It turned out to be our fourth best month since we started hunting.

We did a total of 48 boxes over four weeks.

The first two weeks we found mostly 40% with a few 90% sprinkled in. The first two weeks' 28 boxes yielded 6 x 90% and 35 x 40% including a Franklin and a beat-to-hell 2004-S silver proof.

The third week started off pretty normal until near the end of the week when one roll in one of our boxes contained 3 x BU 1964 halves. Only one other silver in the box... That made us think WOW, that's unusual. Wonder if there are a few loaded boxes out there with a bunch more BU 1964's? Our 10 boxes that week yielded 8 x 90% and 7 x 40% including two Franklins.

Well, we found a whole lot more of the BU 1964's in the fourth week. We did ten boxes and had 4 skunks. The other six boxes yielded as follows:

0 x 90% :: 1 x 40%
1 x 90% :: 5 x 40%
2 x 90% :: 3 x 40%
8 x 90% :: 9 x 40% (BU 1964's)
13 x 90% :: 14 x 40% (BU 1964's)
21 x 90% :: 7 x 40% (BU 1964's)

Incredible seeing blast white rim after blast white rim and scoring '64 after '64! A couple were enders and one roll had FIVE. As I previously mentioned, thanks to this last week, February turned out to be our fourth best month ever.

Total: 48 boxes yielding 59 x 90% and 81 x 40% for a total of 33.32ozt. No sign of any more boxes like these so far in March. Enjoy the pics!

OH!! And I found my first CRH GOLD while dumping! While one of the tellers had the coin counter open I noticed a small ring in the internal reject bin. Was able to grab it, turns out to be 10k gold, 1.7 grams. Not bad for free!

Awesome results! I just got back into ordering low volume. I think we are in the same basic area since I used to get some of your marked coins a couple years ago. My results have been terrible so far. 6 silvers out of 17 boxes over the last 5 weeks. I've been throwing some dimes into the mix and they have been disappointing too. 4 silvers out of 18 boxes (8 or 9 were solid 2017 boxes). Quarters have been the only bright spot so far I'm 2 out of 4 boxes searched. I'm thinking I need to up the volume with halves.

I'm sold, and a believer that things like that DO HAPPEN. Just like my DREAM dime box back in January '17, with 98-silvers(33-Rosie's, 65-Merc's), still stoked about it cuz it will never happen again in my remaining lifetime. Congrats again.
