So I open the $500 box of halves. Staring back at me are three Franklins on various ends. Grinning I upend each roll and find another. Four Franklins on end rolls! This is gonna be a good box  (30 minutes later). Found three more Kennedy's on ends, 2 40's and a 90. End tally... 22 rolls had silver in them, the best (new record for me for a BWR... 4 90's and 2 40's, another had 3 90's and 3 40's). Grand total 13 Franklin's, 14 1964's, 22 40's

| Great score! I've never done a whole box, but I think I had some beginner's luck with the rolls I've sorted. The first three rolls I ever sorted each had 2 40's and I haven't found another one since. |

That would mean I would have to figure out my danged phone... and I'm an old fart! Trust me, aside from the drool factor of the amount found... these were ugggggly silver halves. Only one nice 40 in the bunch, the rest were siblings of the butt family  |

Finding a box like that makes the skunks a little more tolerable.
I am going on 3 weeks with nothing but skunk bags. Gotta just keep pressing forward till I strike silver. |
