Been awhile since Ive had a score that was worthy of posting up here for everyone to gawk at :)

Usually I have 8 boxes(from the same source) to go through thursdays, but only 4 got ordered..

Wow it was the best 4 boxes yet!! 2 40% enders(didnt notice until after roll was open)

(20) 40%ers
(2) 90% kennedys

1st box had 2 40%
2nd box had 1 40%
3rd box had 6 40% and 2 90%
4th box had 11 40%

From this source of boxes, I have been averaging just under 1 piece of silver(whether 40% or 90%) per box ordered... I think im up over that average now with 4 boxes, 22 coins :)

Buffalo Boy!!! My man... I normally do not face check halves, as I am limited in my bank roll, I have to turn them over within hours after getting them, to get more halves...

I found your 7/12 half DIRECTLY INBETWEEN 2 40%ers!!! hahah... Otherwise I would not have seen the marking, unless it happened to be an ender... I saw writing on it as I went to pick out the 40%ers... This was the only roll that had multiple silvers also... funny stuff

Great haul dude.. Hopefully that run will continue next week for you too..
 
I do have another 6 boxes, possibly 10-12 for tommorow, I havent heard back from 2 of my new branches, so thats why its possible. Then that is it for the week...

Yeah the coins have been coming in slow and steady, last week only 2/8 boxes produced, but i still got 1 ben and 7 40%ers... I was waiting to hit some good boxes!!

Sadly I think something is going on with this bank though, 1 branch I ordered from the first time, called me today and said they would be in, but it was a 1 time thing, that they arent allowed to order anymore after this... Then my pickup bank from today, I asked about getting another order for next week, and she said the same type of thing, that they are being told from the higher ups not to order halves, but that they will get back to me within this week...

So yeah, ugh im starting to look around at other banks I havent tried to order from, and see what they can do for me, if my current main bank is going to stop the branches from ordering... just gotta be ready for it if it happens...

I did have some real nice banks ordering halves for me, but after 30-40 boxes, not 1 produced any silver, so why even bother with those kind of results (HF strings yellow/white wrappers)...

Nope, mine would have Maverick in black sharpie on it. HH, Maverick.
 
nice finds, cool find on my marked half dollar, i released that one in the wild in july of 2012(hence, 7 12)... it took quite a while to recirculate up north, any chance the edge was silver painted?
 
Yea buffalo it was... looked real cool when i opened that roll up... haha

I find halves with that samepainted rim but usually they have a black square mark on the right of the face
 
i find those black sharpie marked rimmed coins with the silver edge too, i always mark those with mine as well, less work for me to spot them out.

Great boxes, man! HH!
 
Well today, I only got 4 boxes to search, instead of the other 6-8 I thought I was getting...

1st: 1 90%
2nd: 3 90%, 5 40% (1 franklin, and 1 40% was ender)
3rd: skunk
4th: skunk

Still pretty good if you ask me, just sucks I wasted a bunch of time and gas going to different branches, when only 1 branch had boxes for me..

BuffaloBoy I found another silver painted rim of yours from 7/12 as well, but this one was blue marking... it was directly right next to my 90% from the first box

Those were good boxes! It seems normal for me now to come home and search 4 boxes and they all be skunks, I'd be very happy to have 2 of 4 boxes give me that every week, lol. HH, Maverick.
 
Well yeah I got pretty lucky, 6/10 produced this week. had a few banks that didnt order, and new banks also same story, wanted 20+ boxes

Last week only 2/10 produced.

Supposed to have 20+ for this coming week if all the orders go through
