First Post and Amazing half dollar finds this week!

[xxmrrightxx]

Hi everyone,

This is my first post, I decided to post my finds for this week. I have collecting since I was 12 (I'm 18 now) and I've accumulated a lot of nice coins. I could go on and on about coins and how much I love them but I think this is enough for one post lol. I do 2 boxes of halves a day for the first two weeks of the month. I'd search through more but I don't have that much money. I usually don't find many 90% coins so that's why this is such a shock, this is the second time I've hit a large quantity of silver. I'll tell my story if anyone's interested. I also did a box of pennies and found some nice pre 1940 pennies, I found a 1915 D, 1916, 1918 with an American Flag carved on it, 1927 & 1939. I'd post pictures but I'm using an Ipod camera so the pennies wouldn't show up very well. Anyways, here's some of my finds.

On Tuesday - Box #1
1967, 1968 D, 1969 D
Box #2
1967, 1968 D

38 Franklins TOTAL in one box!!
(7 of which were enders!)
I was so excited when I opened the boxes that I raced home to show my family.
The most I found in one roll was four. The picture with the x's represent where the silver was found in the box.

Out of 8 Boxes searched over 4 days,
I found (8) 40 %, (1) 90% Kennedy, (39) Franklins & (1) Walking Liberty

Thanks for reading!

Thank you mountainman 2! I'll be going on Tuesday to pick another 2 boxes, I'm going to see if I can order another 4-6 boxes. I only have enough for 2 so I'd have to make trips but with the chance of finding more like that I don't mind. I'll post on Tuesday or Wednesday if I find anything. Before I went to pick those 2 boxes, I had to cash in the halves & pennies from the other day and the machine was short $10-15, has that happened to you? If so, is their anything I can do about it if it happens again?

Great box and great pictures very well organized. I like what you did marking with the X the spots where you had enders or silver. Welcome to Treasurenet.

Welcome to TNet. EXCELLENT boxes. I hope to find a box like that someday. Hopefully there will be another one like that for you next week.

It happens from time to time. If it's only a few dollars once in a while i would consider it the cost of dumping coin. Anymore then that i would mention it to someone at the bank.

I had a similar random find on a whim. I was at the bank paying my rent when I decided to get some rolls of Kennedys to take home and go through... Well the teller told me she only had 4 rolls left so of course I took them... I found 33 silver coins in them 4 rolls 3 of the coins were 1964s!!!

Thanks for your comments guys, I did 2 boxes on Tuesday. I wish I could do more but the money I use goes to the mortgage which is paid on the 15th, after the 15th my budget is limited. The 1st box was a skunk and 2nd box had (1) 90%er.. Didn't find anything like on Friday but I was very happy to find my oldest half dollar to date and it was an upside down ender.

Nice! Good to know they're still out there!

This is still fun if you don't take it too seriously - so often what happens is we score nicely then get skunked for a while and start getting
really down about it - that's a good time to stop and lighten up , not just in attitude but in volume as well - switch from boxes to what
CWR's you can get . Nice score by the way !!!
