57 silver halves (the most in one box I have found is 4) 4 of which were 90%
A deformed Mercury dime (first time finding silver in penny rolls)
A 1899 Indian cent

As HoardCopperByTheTon stated, welcome to the exclusive silver dime club. I found two in one bag, but that's it. Fifty-seven silvers out of 1000 is great. Finding an Indian is an accomplishment on it's own. And to do it all in one pickup, amazing. Congratulations.

Live free or die.
Plain and simple.
"If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your council or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen."

You had me right up to the Indian head part. Sounds like you got delusional in all the excitement over your silver finds and started believing in wild Indians. Every same person knows Indians don't exist in the wild.
(That was a great coin day. Congratulations.) |
"Rich," the Old Man said dreamily, "is not baying after what you can't have. Rich is having the time to do what you want to do. Rich is a little whiskey to drink and some food to eat and a roof over your head and a fish pole and a boat and a gun and a dollar for a box of shells. Rich is not owing any money to anybody, and not spending what you haven't got." Robert Ruark
