Received a call from a branch of a bank I have accounts with, saying they heard from a manager of another branch that I buy halves. The manager of this branch said the bag on their machine recently filled and she said I could have dibs buying it before she shipped it out. The branch is 40 min away, so I was hesitant to go out that way to get it, the manager said "sir, you really should come out for this bag of coin." Interesting...

So, I cancel my office hours and drive out there. Long story short, the freakin bag is loaded. Driving back to town I took a few handfuls and each time I saw 2-3 90% rims along with some 40%. I dumped the coin in a plastic bin and took the pic below, hard to tell but there are a bunch of 64s sitting on the top, along with a WL and some 40%. Ill update the post with a total, Im hoping for $50 face in 90%, that would be cool. HH everyone!

Sounds like the bank manager is going to get a $20 gift card.

By the way that's hilarious about canceling your office hours, I've canceled mine for much less than a potentially good bag of halves (read as: happy hour)

Thats awesome. I admit this is not the first time I have cancelled office hours to CRH. :)

This one is by far the biggest in OZT found. Others that are memorable:

Box with 4 WL enders, produced 21 WL halves and one 64
Box with 14 enders, produced 120 keepers (117x40% and 3x90%)
Box with 7 enders, produced 67 keepers (60x40% and 7x90%)
Solid roll of rosie silver dimes

My best bag until today was 43 keepers.

I feel quite fortunate to have found what I have so far. In my area it seems people are aware of silver, because there is almost never silver in the trays. Largely, it seems people are not aware of coin counter bags and to ask for what is in the vault.
