Two EPIC dream boxes in one day. Jackpot, baby!

[Weaselbrott]

Had a great day of half dollar box finds. Two boxes in particular stood out. The first was early in the day, and I had a lot of energy and was able to snap a ton of pics. The second one was later in the day when I was already beat up from the day's pick up and dump around the burbs, so I apologise for not having the roll-by-roll breakdown for the second (and utterly ridiculous finds) of this box. So here we go..

Only three rolls in and..


1941 Walking Liberty!


A few more in and...


1958 Ben!


I went a couple more rolls into this exciting box when


1964 JFK!


A 40% JFK


Then another two in a roll! (shock had set in at this point)


1969 JFK and 1952 Ben! Wow!


Still going!


90% JFK


Is that another two in one roll?


...nope, it was just one dirty half, but the other was a 67 JFK!


Another very white and shiny rim!


1964 JFK (shaky hands)


Ender! I hope there are more goodies in this roll!


nope... but what is the ender going to be?


A 1965 40%er!


Looks like another one!


Yep, 40%er, alright!


That was one epic box! <3 6275!


Did an entire box after and found one single roll with two!


Two 90% halves! A 43 Walker, and a 63 Ben. Good enough!


The following box had just one single...


1964 JFK! I'll take it!


Got home to pick up my last two boxes. Wish I did the roll-by-roll breakdown for the last one...

First box gave up 3 40%ers

2nd box...

12 90%ers
4 40%ers!

10 Bens, 1 JFK, 1 Walker

wow...just...wow...

4 40% JFKs


The entire day's cull turned out to be amazing!

3 Walkers
13 Bens
5 90% Kens
15 40% Kens

9.8tOz!

Those were dream boxes. I am hoping to get enough money to buy a box of halves and this makes me excited to do halves. Happy hunting!

I enjoyed the timeline of silver as it was being pulled out of the rolls. Great two boxes.

Ben and a Lady in the same roll? That old scoundrel is still up to his old tricks. Looks like they had progeny and named all of them JFK.

Not a "dream box" by the old definitions, but pretty dang impressive boxes for sure.

I liked the way you did the post BTW.

Congrats!

Good boxes but far cry from a dream box. JMHO.

 

[fish on!]

Great boxes.

Sorry, but I gotta call foul on the dream box designation. I'm not a stickler, but I personally have never had a true dream box and have had up to 50 silvers in a box. A dream box has to be a dream box. Keep on hunting.

Nice score and great pics. Got me pumped to continue my search tonight.

Very nice. Very. I did 7 boxes this year. Didn't get anything. I did pick up $300 in halves at a local bank later and got 1 Franklin, 2 40% Kennedys and 1 1964 Kennedy. Never saw boxes like these.

Most likely wont see a box this good only doing 7 boxes- unless you get begginers luck- ive done over 500 boxes with nothing close to this- best box was 4 40%

Although congrats on the finds in the $300
