On Tuesday, I dumped all my weekend coins and pickup up a lone box of halves, my first bag of cents and two more bags of quarters.
The half box turned out to be my best box ever (from a short sample of 36 boxes). My previous record was 7 (all 40%ers) from my very first box. This box turned out to have 8 (I know, paltry by some of your standards). However, it had a couple of nice enders.
The first ender on the left was actually my 3rd ender, but the first one I noticed before opening the roll. It's next to a clad ender because I was trying to show my mom the difference and how to tell one was silver.
The second is my very first Bender ever! That is some kind of sweet to see!
I saved those two rolls for last and before I opened them, I found 5 others in the box. The reverse ender gave up two and the Bender roll had just the one Franklin. It was so much fun finding that many in one box. I'd probably pass out if I found double digits, much less a dream box. The best part is that of the 8 silvers, 6 were 90%ers! A '68, '69, 5 - '64s and the Ben, a shiny '63.
In my previous 35 boxes, I'd only found 3 90%ers so to find 6 in one box was great.
The two quarter bags were fairly uneventful except for one handful, which produced my first quarter in the wild.
Gotta say, that silver quarter was a sight for sore eyes. That's one silver quarter in $3000 searched. The only plus is that my dump bank machines hold $2000 in quarters so it's pretty easy to dump them without multiple bag fill ups.
Happy Hunting!
