Results on my last few boxes...

[TheRockDoc]

Hey guys, I have been having better than average success with my half dollar boxes lately.. Last week I had a box dated Aug 8 2002... I about (deleted-before it got typed)... I tear it open to find 10 silvers, the best part is that 5 of them were 90%'ers. 2 franklins, 3 kens. The sad part about that is that there were actually 3 boxes with that date stamped on them, and the other two were big ol skunks. (I figure 10 silvers out of 3 boxes is still good, esp with a 50% ratio of 90%s.).

Last night I did a box that finally had an ender showing (reverse 40%). With five rolls left, I was at 3 silvers, and believe it or not, I open a roll, and there was a silv...nope, 2..... OH MY GOD "I literally scream out" scaring the "deleted" out of my wife.. There were 3 silvers in that roll... You see the craziest things in this hobby. So after doing that box and finding 5-40%s and 1-90%. I had one more box and decided to do half of it, and about 20 rolls in, I open a roll to find 2 silvers, 1-40% and a franklin, No other rolls in the first half of the box had silvers.... Does anyone else just find amazement in some of the things you see in this hobby? I find myself trying to think about "what are the freakin odds of that"?

Anyways, just an update and a "happy hunting" hello to everyone.

Chris.

Nice pull. Yes, you never know what or when silver will show itself. One week I had a box with a Walker showing. Oh boy, I thought. But, it was the only silver in the box--but at least a 90%er.

I always find it interesting how thousands of coins are dumped in a hopper, rolled, and end up in our boxes. Forrest Gump & the box of chocolates senerio.

HSH,

Ya RockDoc I see that quite frequently where the only silver in a box is all in the same roll and theres a good explanation for that , at least a guess. Assuming that the jumbo sorter/wrapper machines have a similiar feed cup and chute to the Ryedale, the heavier/denser coins with silver in them will cluster towards the bottom.

Hope your good average continues, in the long long run anything over 3 per box is amazing!

 

[Hi Ho Silver!]

Good score!

The last Walking Lib I got was an ender, and the only silver in the box. It was on the top layer, right in the dead center of the rolls.

It appeared to have been placed there by a Brinks employee, as if to say "Hey teller!!!! Here is a nice coin!!!!! Don't miss it!!!!"
