Today's half box - 1/19/12 - 38 KEEPERS - MY BEST BOX EVER!

Well it's seems I've obviously hit a silver vein at my main p/u bank. Last weeks 2 boxes from this same bank were both skunks. This weeks boxes have been completely different. Yesterday's box from this bank yielded 18 x 40%'s and tonight's box was simply amazing - 38 keepers (27 x 90%'s & 11 x 40%'s). Best of all was most of the keepers were 90% - 10 Walkers, 12 Bens & 5 x '64 Kens. Several rolls had 2 or more keepers and at least one roll had 4 keepers (3 x 40% & 1 x '64 I think) and the best roll was probably the next to the last roll that had 3 Walkers ('34, '39S & '41D). Needless to say I didn't want this box to end. :)

Here's the list of finds from MY BEST BOX EVER:

1 x 1918 WL - low grade (AG/G) but my earliest half find ever! :)
1 x 1927S WL (mintage 2,392,000) - low grade (G) but an early better date!
2 x 1934 WL - (1 G+, 1 VG+/F)
1 x 1935 WL - full rims (VG+)
1 x 1935S WL (mintage 3,854,000) - full rims (VG+/F)
1 x 1939S WL (mintage 2,552,000) - full rims (VG)
2 x 1941D WL
1 x 1945S WL
1 x 1951 BF
1 x 1951S BF
1 x 1952D BF
1 x 1952S BF
1 x 1954D BF
2 x 1957 BF
1 x 1957D BF
1 x 1961D BF
3 x 1962D BF
3 x 1964 JFK
2 x 1964D JFK
1 x 1965 JFK
2 x 1966 JFK (1 rev. ender)
8 x 1967 JFK (1 rev. ender)
1 x 1985S JFK
1 x 2009S JFK (clad)

Well this box (and yesterday's box) really jump started my month. I've got 2 more boxes ordered from this bank for next week so I sure hope my silver streak continues. I've already asked and unfortunately 2 boxes a week is the most I can get from this bank - so I'll just be thankfull for what I can get. I've also got 2 more boxes ordered from a new p/u bank on Mon.

I haven't said it in a while but I sure have to say it tonight - finding silver @ face is ooooh so great! :)

That may technically be a dream box, but that is a dream box to me! HH

Great box Silverface! :icon_thumleft: Your heart must have been pounding. If 2 is the limit at that branch, try ordering from multiple branches of the same bank. They probably all get their coin from the same supplier.

thanks mm 2, yeah the box was a lot of fun for sure - it was a virtual Walker & Ben benanza - I didn't want it to end. :)

And I've been doing just what you suggested too. I've been getting 2 boxes from several different branches of this same bank around town where I live. In fact I've got 2 boxes to p/u on Mon. from a new p/u bank which is a different branch of this same bank. And I'm really interested to see if my lucky silver streak will continue next week at my main p/u bank that I got this box from. :)

Would love to get a loaded box like that one of these days. I've yet to find a Franklin.

Crazy good score for sure. How many enders did you have?

I actually only had 2 enders for the whole box which were both 40%'s which seemed and a little surprising since my keepers were more than 2 to 1 90%. But I'm sure not complaining - and it sure was nice opening roll after roll and seeing all those silver edges which I could tell right away were usually 90% Bens or Walkers by the amount of wear on the edges. I think this box might have spoiled me somewhat because now I'm wanting all my boxes to be like this. I'd sure love it if I could get at least a few more like it anyway. And it sure was a surprise and a nice change from last weeks skunks that's for sure. :)

Btw, I also found 4 more 40%'s from $9 in loose halves from another bank on my way home from work today. So I've now found almost 1 1/2 rolls of 90% halves & more than 2 rolls of 40% halves for the year. :)

H$H - it's still out there!

Nice mess of Silver. :thumbsup:
 

Re: Today's half box - 1/19/12 - 38 KEEPERS - MY BEST BOX EVER!

How in the world did I miss this one? That there my friend is a box for the ages, a grand-slam! :thumbsup: My best box ever in 1.5 years was 30 keepers, [12] '64s and [18] 40%ers I believe. I have had quite a few boxes in the teens and twenties a few dream like scores from CWRs and bags off of machines but never a box that sweet! :icon_sunny:

Congratulations!!! :headbang:

HH,

$ilver$urfer :hello:
 

Re: Today's half box - 1/19/12 - 38 KEEPERS - MY BEST BOX EVER!

thanks $$, the box sure was a lot of fun and a rather nice surprise too. Now I'll just have to wait till next week to find out if my lucky silver streak is going to continue at this bank or not. I sure hope there is more to this silver vein I seem to have tapped and I can get some more boxes like this one. :)
