$500 Halves - Brinks Box
THE MOTHERLOAD HAS BEEN FOUND AGAIN! 
I MUST HAVE GOT THE WHOLE MOTHERLOAD BAG IN TWO $500 BOXES. The original bag would have had 27 Walkers, 34 Franklins, 7 1964 Kennedys, 29 40% Silver Clads, and 4 NIFCs. It would have contained 97 silvers.
PICTURES TO FOLLOW SOON.
PLENTY OF SILVER. 
Only 2 bullet rolls had Walkers or Franklins on the end of the roll, but there were more of them in this box. 36 of the 50 rolls had one or more silver coins in them.
Dusty the cat has to inspect the rolls.
One Walker, one Franklin on end of roll.
Let's see what's inside.
Two 1952 Franklins, 1964 Kennedy, 1942 Walker.
The other roll has a 1941 Walker and a 1967 Silver Clad.
Roll 18 has 3 silvers showing.
1953D and a 1962 Franklin, also a 1967 Silver Clad.
15 Walkers
15 Walk. Lib. 90% Silver - '35,'41,'41D,'42(4),'43(2),'44(2),'45(4)
18 Frank 90% Sil.- '50D,'51,'52(4),'52D,'53D(5),'57D(4),'58D,'62
6 Kennedy 90% Silver - '64(6)
15 Clad 40% Silver - '65,'66(2),'67(9),'68D(2),'69D

| $38 in loose Halves and $60 in rolled Quarters yielded nothing at all for me today. |

$1000 bag of dimes sealed in a bag set to go to fed. Funny thing, the dimes were still in the wrappers. The bag was $1.70 short but had 7 silver dimes. More than sufficient compensation for the shortage.
3 boxes of halves:
1 - 90%
10 - 40%
2 rolls of halves:
2 - 40%
Things have improved around here. |

Country, you were making me sick up until yesterday.
I took a couple months off after being skunked for about 16 boxes.
Well, a teller waived a nasty box of halves a couple days ago and I got one 1776 S proof, one walker, one Franklin and 15 40%ers.
Damn it, hooked again.
Then fb101 corners me in yet another bank. Hmmm...
Eight boxes came today which cost me $2.50/box.
First box had 65 40%ers, 18 1964's, two walkers and two Frankins.
A random sample suggest poor results in the rest of the batch but I got my money's worth. Seven boxes to go and four need to be sampled. Love to get another hot box. Man, I was getting bored plucking those lowly 40%ers.....
happy hunting!
Oh, I have been cheating with pennies and nickels.
2 Buffs
2 War
1-1910 linciln
1-1911D Linc
2-dozen asst wheaties
1-steel
5 log cabins and one linc on a log
bunch of other good stuff.
I found another free bank and have ordered.

$476 FV in halves, no silver, no NIFC.
For some reason I (generally) have incredible luck finding NIFC, but bad luck finding silver. I'm basing that statement on the RC monthly totals posted above. |

You might want to reconsider keeping most of your stash in the safety deposit box. If a bank holiday or a national emergency is declared, your access to the safety deposit box will not be available. |

1 box of halves:
1 - 90%
12 - 40%
Things are getting better.
PS: I have two more boxe to go. The first roll of the second box had a forty and a ninety (kennedys). I'll post the results later.
PPS: I just found two franklins in the same roll in the second box...
And to tell you the truth, the scanner doesn't do these coins justice. They look like they were just minted!
2nd box:
10 - 40%'s
2 - 64's (90%)
4 - 63 franklins MS-63 or 65
1 - 42 walker
3rd box:
2 - 40%'s
1 - 2000s proof non-silver
1 - 1976 proof with the edge painted silver to make it appear as a silver proof.
