My new personal best

[Vdubguy]

My fiancé and I are out of town for work and last week I called ahead to where I was going to order some boxes. Got a branch of my normal bank to order 6 boxes for me. When I show up, the teller was so relieved that I was actually coming to get them because I was a bit late. Then after the transaction she proceeds to tell me how she forgot how many halves were in one box, so she accidentally ordered 12 boxes. I said that's awesome, I'll take those too. Then she informs me that the courier only had 11 on hand and will be bringing the 12th box later.

So after it was said and done, I wanted 6 boxes and got 11. We got back to the hotel and for the first time ever my fiancé is helping me go through them. She had her own box and I went over a few times, 1970 and older are what we are looking for. It was about ten rolls in, she asked, "so 1964 is good". I said, "yea!!" She found the first silver if the day and it was a 90%er. I think she might be hooked.

In total there were 30 40%ers and 6 90%ers. All kens, but I'm not complaining.

This is my best one week haul out of ordered boxes so far.

Thanks for stopping by and HH!!

Nice work! And good job getting your girl on board - always good to get them hooked. That way they will understand your obsession & be more empathetic of your "addiction" down the road.
I have done that before too - I love to call ahead when I'm going out of town somewhere and test the waters. You never know when you might stubble across a nice untapped silver vein in an area that hasn't been searched.

I think I may have found a small silver vein, but since I'm not close to it, so it's bitter sweet.

Still have some out-of-town AG to take home!!

Very nice, We've done the same thing going to visit freinds, ordered 8 boxes between 2 branches, searched at my friends house ( and had great boxes, 1 had 90% George Washington Comem in it), we were able to dump all the boxes on the way home as we drove through dif towns. Ironically, our friends had no interest in doing this, even though I showed them what the coins were worth, they said it was too much trouble lol. Nice haul!

I'm assuming by your user name you are into bugs, here are a couple pics of my wife's bug, it was her first car when she was sixteen, we found it a few years back in someones backyard, after talking and a little trading with the person we brought it home, it's a mess, it's sitting in my garage now waiting to be messed with, I have 2 kids and no time now, it is the same exact way it was when she was sixteen ( 20yrs ago), just really weathered, figured you could appreciate the pic, and yes, those are IROC wheels on it, 20 years ago I guess it was cool lol.

@Mav I acquired a 73 super beetle about 6 months ago. It too is currently sitting in my bro's garage waiting to be fully restored. We are still in the process of demo. Here she is... HH

Hey Mav,
Noticed you said IROC wheels so I checked my dad's same ones!




405 hp + nitro hooked up
Small world I thought to myself.

HA HA, let me show you how small of a world it is, I picked this up a couple of yrs ago, 500 bucks, had a blown fuse for the fuel injection system and they couldn't figure it out, got it home check the fuse, new fuse and bam, smokin the tires off the back of it in front of my house that afternoon, it has the L88 350 option and t tops. It was a cool car, it's gone now. HH, Maverick.

irocs and trans ams are cool again. The hipsters like them now. When I was in HS it was all guidos with gold chains who drove them. Hipsters seem to like irony.

That is one awesome car especially for $500. Nice buy.

Dads has a 1980 dodge truck engine in it. Small small world. It was his friends in high school but his friend parked it for 20 years once they got out of high school. Dad bought it for 1000$ with original motor (<10,000 miles)
Same fuel problem though.

Ya, I use to flip cars ( since I was sixteen) and just got out if it a few years back, thus one was one of those flips, it's insane the amount of cars we've owned lol. VDub, sorry for hijacking your thread there. HH, Maverick.
