Most beautiful coin found

[norcalsteve]

After 27 skunk boxes I found this 1967. Lone silver in the box only a 40 but by far my most satisfying find. Hope this is the start of a large silver vain.

Congrats. Holy Cow! 27 boxes is quite a skunk streak.

Glad to hear your skunk streak ended! Hopefully the next box is a dream one!!

Have you noticed that this site has such a positive tone, everyone here that has been hunting for any time has gone through the same issue, long streaks of nothing, then a dribble and maybe even a great score. We all are glad your streak has ended and even though we wish it was us finding the sliver, we are glad you did. Don't ever give up!! I also have had a zip streak over 20 boxes, but kept hunting and take those lack of silver as just part of the hunt.

That is good news...I hope you find lots more in the next few boxes.

Before this my longest skunk streak was 3.

Thanks Sean. Came close to a dream box a few months ago with 89 silver. I know it is out there. Good luck to you.

I guess this is how you find out if this hobby is really for you. It is weird but I still got enjoyment searching the boxes (is that the addiction talking).
I have been searching for and collecting coins for over 50 years. Just started CRH about 2 years ago. Wish I had found CRH 50 years ago.
Got a lot of silver from playing slot machines in Lake Tahoe in the 70's & 80's. Sure do hate the "vouchers".
Thanks and HH.

Thanks Zero. Going on vacation next week so I wont get any boxes till the following week. Going up north with the family to a river for some white water rafting, gold panning and fishing. Hope to find some banks along the way to hunt. Maybe I will find that collection dump in a small not hunted bank. I am also taking a bunch of boxes with me to dump in a area that I know is not in my distribution area. HH

Wow that's quite a streak you overcame. I guess a recent 89-silver box would help to keep you pushing forward, but that's still some serious dedication that many on this site don't have. I hope you get your dream box. You've definitely earned it!

 

[norcalsteve]

Thanks baddbluff. That good box definitely helped. I also found a few good CWR and some MWR non full boxes with silver during this spell. Over all I have had a great first halve of 2015 CRH.

27 is a normal streak for me in my area-ive had streaks of 80+ 90+ and my longest 105

Picked up a not expected box from one of my banks today. It gave up 1 silver. I am definitely on an up swing.
I just love finding Ben.
