Got a box of half dollars on Thursday - Loomis long flat box . Upon opening it I saw a Franklin, and a Walker, and two silver Ken's right away .After the dust settled , I had pulled 50 ninety percent silvers and 5 forty percenters ! So if I remember correctly this would be about half of a dream box . I want to post pics , but i only have a smart phone ( no laptop or notebook) I have looked at the help section for posting pics , but it seems like a foreign language to me . If any of you could walk me through this I would be grateful ! ( the halfs were equal numbers of Franklins and Walkers , just two Kennedy 64's)

Wow, that is an amazing find! Download the Treasurenet app from the App Store or Google Play store. Once you have done that, log into your account using your password and username. After that scroll down into the CRH or any forum your interested in posting photos in and on the bottom left of your screen you will see two camera photos. The one on the left will let you take a photo right away and post, the other one will let you post an already taken photo. You hit one of ether options and post. I'm using an IOS device, so I'm assuming that's how it would work for all other IOS or Android devices. Hope that helps!

Thank you BuffaloHunter ! I will try that soon... I've been on this site since 2008 , I'm eager to put up some long overdue pics of my favorite finds !
 
The Walkers were common dates, earliest being a 1933. Most of my best scores have not been from boxes ,but from customer wrapped rolls. Some months back I posted here a complaint that I was finding no silvers in the Loomis long boxes with the green/gold colored wrappers ,well it just so happens- that is exactly the kind of box and wrappers that just gave up 50 ninety percenters. I am more convinced as I do CRH, that it is very random in terms of how many silvers you may find from either Brinks , Loomis , or whatever courier you are encountering. I am especially interested in hearing any opposing points of view on this.
 
Congrats on the HALF OF DREAM-BOX. I believe you without any pictures. It does happen.

I think it's absolutely random. Luck and timing. What you get completely depends on what gets by coin roll hunters buying up cwr, and the sniping tellers. There are other ways silver gets by, but I believe this really plays a factor. I don't believe any of the couriers remove silver... Not in my area at least

Oh and awesome box! At 50 90% that's better than a dream box of 100 40%!
