This weeks 24 boxes, Very nice haul! A couple firsts as well

Well I only got short ordered on 4 boxes this week, I thought I had 30 ordered, but was 28...

Anyways I had about 7 skunk boxes, the rest all produced some kind of silver... I didnt keep records each box.

Ended with (6) 90%ers and (48) 40%ers!!! Notable mention is 1893 Columbian Exposition Half dollar!!! Amazing, I never even knew of its existence, also that was the only silver in that particular box I got it from.

Also not included on that list is a "silver" 1976 Bicentennial I found, has a silver rim, doesnt have an S mark, looks like a proof, and also does not have the silver ping when I flip it with my thumb... So dont know what to make of it... lemme know

My best box more than doubled my previous best of 11 40%ers from 2 weeks ago, I got 28 40%ers from one box, 3 in one roll, and 4-5 rolls that had 2 in them... I couldnt believe it!!!

Also, Anyone ever have banks switch roll types on them? All of my boxes but 2 came from the same source, they have always come with brown/black wrappers, but I got about 6-8 boxes this week from the same banks, but with yellow/white skunk and sons wrappers... But they still produced for me.

HH all!!!!!!!!

That is a sweet commem too, the condition isn't there, but definitely qualifies as a "barber" find in my book since the date is of the era.

good luck next week... I just released about 30 "3 13" halves into the wild, keep your eyes peeled!

Just out of curiousity, about how many coins did you mark with the 2/13 date

I didn't keep track, but no more than 100 of them.

Tim, did you ever find one of those 1893 or 1892 columbian expositions?? I was reading up on it a bit, only 5 million minted, with half being melted down before they were released...

He found a few, I think.
