PROOF dream box??? Guessing game?

[Local_coins]

Picked up 2 boxes from my CU today along with what I am 99% sure is $390 in dump coins. The first box is a shocker (to me) with 3 proof Enders on top! Digging deeper I found that 7 of the rolls show proofs on the end! I'm already doing the happy dance!







I'm saving this one for last. Give you all time to crunch the numbers!

Wow, cool. 7 showing should be about 60 total. Hope you get some silver!

 

[Diver_Down]

I'm guessing 13 proofs - 3 of which are marked.

 

[SilverForBrains]

Those rolls look freakin sweet

I'm guessing 43 proofs, 1 1964 and 4 40%ers. should be a fun box!

 

[baddbluff]

65 proofs. Hopefully some of which will be 90%!

 

[MrSchulz]

I'm guessing there will be $500 in halves in there.

I'm guessing there will be $500 in halves in there.

I think you might be onto something there.

My guess..........

6 total proofs
0 total silver

This is Price is Right rules, correct?
Closest to actual number without going over?

 

[agme]

32 proofs.

[maverick]

47 proofs ,5 40%'s and 1 90%. Good luck! Maverick.

 

[Weaselbrott]

0 proofs, $500 face in gold. (Or if we are playing price is right rules... "$1 dollar, Bob!")

 

[Local_coins]

Almost there... Oh man this is fun!

 

[Coin Town]

Almost there... Oh man this is fun!

The suspense is killing me!!!

 

[Yinzi50]

36 proofs; 2x90%ers, 4x40%ers.

 

[Mr. Silver Stash]

69 clad proofs, no silver

Final Total

My collection just got a lot more interesting.

First off, the $390 in CWR that I was convinced were skunky actually threw off a 1969 Kennedy. Not bad.

Now for the fun part:

Box #1 (Not the ender box):

2006-P NIFC
and the following copper-clad proofs:
1971
1972
1973
1974
1976 Bicentennial
1980
1983
1984
1989
1994
1995
1996
2011 - Sweet!


Box #2 The one that started this thread:
Silver 1967
2010-P NIFC
and the following copper-clad proofs:
1971 x2
1972
1974
1976 Bicentennial
1977
1978
1979 x2
1980
1981 My birth year!
1984
1986
1987 x2
1988 x2
1996 x2
1997
2000
2003
2004
2005
2006
And yes, that is a piece of a $20 bill that fell out of one of the rolls!




This is a dream box for proofs if I've ever seen one! 2 boxes actually! I am going to keep the ordering high until these are worked out of the system. I keep picturing some poor coin collector touring the Brinks facility with his pretty Dansco album full of these half dollars tripping over the hopper feeding the coin boxes...oops. I was really hoping for some silver proofs but I am not complaining.

Total take is 2-40% Silver, 2-NIFC and 38 Proofs! I think this makes BuffaloBoy the official winner with "35 proofs and some silver". The most proofs in one roll was 4 and there were a number of rolls that had 2.

I think I am actually OK with not finding much silver...today. Tomorrow is another story. Thanks for reading!

Happy Hunting!
