Nice on the Washington dollar!
The best I've found is one box that had 4 rolls with an extra quarters in four of the rolls. |

Picked up a Brinks box this evening.
1 Walker
2 40%
12 NIFC's
Minimal, but at least it's not a skunk...

| I went to the bank to make a deposit and looked over into the teller's coin tray. I thought I saw some silver...and I indeed did. She only had $5.00 in halves, but they were all 40%. I was even "hunting" for halves today. |

Stopped at a bank on the way to school today. Asked the teller if they had any halves. They had $500, but I didn't want to have to carry them in my backpack, so I got $100. Turns out that there were 2 '64s and 2 '67s in that $100. Needless to say... Going to go back and get the rest later. |

Took a break from school and got the other $400... My backpack is kinda heavy. I'll post results later. |

Even averaged out among the 3 boxes that was still a respectable haul. Better than a lot of us are getting. Congrats.

I like to keep the NIFC's.
If I won't realize a numismatic premium, I think my children or grandchildren will.
You could always try to sell a complete collection on Ebay to test the waters.
PS- $80 in CWR's sorted, I found a 1976 proof in mighty nice condition (MNC a new grade).
PPS - I get to pickup a new Brinks box tomorrow.
Anticipation is driving me wild.. (my apologies to Carly Simon) |

I went through 10 rolls yesterday and found nine 40% silver halves.
Then today I stopped at another bank and bought 6 rolls...got skunked.
So I took them to a dump bank, and they had some large dollars, so I bought 3 rolls all Ike's, and one of them a 76 silver in mint in AU.
I'm going to try to sell the Ike rolls on craigslist for $30 each. |

Most of would be more than happy to find 9 40% in a box, let alone in only 10 rolls. Then you find an Ag Ike. You done did good.
