Picked up my biweekly Brinks box today. Most of my boxes are Loomis, but I suspect Brinks is better and that Loomis is secretly pulling Silver. If so, I'm going to have to restructure my order banks. Anyway, I go through my Brinks box and on the 21st roll, I find a pretty well worn, but still 40% silver 1968. My first find from a bank box :hello2:. All my other finds were from teller trays, CWRs, and even a Silver Dime from a Coinstar reject tray :laughing7:. I went through like 8 silver skunk boxes or so to get to this point, with nothing but a few NIFCs and a stack of 1974-Ds to check for the DDO.





My camera really stinks at good close ups of coins for some reason, any tips on making it better? Hopefully you can see that this coin is probably what most would consider "junk silver." I really don't care though as junk silver is still silver, and still builds my collection. 1 40% in like 8 or more boxes is kind of sad, but I'll keep searching just in case my next box is something like Apush's crazy Franklin run, or a true dream box of 100+ finds. This hard fought trophy deserves a round of my CRHing theme song.

OH OH, I WANT SOME MORE!
OH OH, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?
TAKE A BITE OF MY HEART TONIGHT!

Congrats on your first silver halve find. Now you are hooked!

HSH,
apush :read2:
 
Congrats.. guess you're going to keep going. If I just got started in this, I would've quit after 8 skunks. You'd better keep at it before the gov. in Utah signs the acceptance of silver law.
