got super lucky today (beginner)

Newbie, been reading this forum for the past couple of months, done a little CRH for halves and got 3 40% until today. Went to local bank and they had three rolls of halves, bought them and went outside to my truck. In the 3 rolls I got 3-40%, 2 Bens (61&63) and a 1947 Walker. Felt like Christmas all again, maybe even better. Ordering a box of halves (first time) tomorrow from a Credit Union I just joined. Look forward to reading many more posts, and hope to have reason to post again. GLTA.

Got the first box of halves from the Credit Union, almost half the box checked before I found a 40%. Things got better and wound up with a 65,66, 67X6, 68 and 69. I believe I'm hooked. I'll keep the 90% halves I've gotten, but saving the 40% to sell when silver prices rebound. GLTA and keep stacking.

10 keepers is a great 1st box and should be enough to get u hooked. My last box had 10 x 40% and 2 x 90% which was my best box I've had in 2 yrs. I hope we both can get more good boxes like these again soon.

GL & H$H!

The price on 40%'ers don't really have that much of a swing in price. I personally dump them every so often just for a space saver. You can use the money to trade up in silver to 90% or .999, gold or just keep it for other stuff =)
