    It had no markings whatsoever on the box. Had white wrappers with a light brown edge that said "$10 HALVES". It was a brand new square box that had brown print on it.

    I know it wasn't brinks or from the fed. I wish I could find more of those!!

    I've pulled a random Frankie and a random Walker from fed boxes but as I can recall never BOTH from the same box.

    I had a blast searching that box!

    Good boxes of halves are a lot of fun.

    Did the roll have one end "folded" and the other end "exposed" like the coin was held in by the edges?

    Most of my best boxes have been brinks....including my 87 silver coin monster box several weeks ago.

    My other box I opened yesterday was a skunk.

    I found another four rolls at another bank, skunk.

    My luck has been poor most recently with 3 out last 4 boxes being skunks and getting skunked on 62 CWR and 9 BWR from several different banks. Can't search today because of work, but tomorrow, I'll be traveling for business and will stop at some smaller town banks hoping to find some scores. Wish me luck....I need it.

    They are NIFC, but they made just as many as they had been for circulation strikes. Denver strikes are not NIFC. It wasn't until 2002 that they lowered the mintage to around 2 million.

    I'm confused...your picture shows a machine roll with both edges crimped and not folded.

    So I don't have to go through 790 pages of this thread, what else besides silver is worth setting aside for halves?

    My fault on that pic, one side shows the coins, the other (right side in pic) is "folded down". So, left side is exposed, right side folded down, very odd...but those are Brinks from a local bank in my town (I only know b/c I've seen the box they pull from).

    It sounds like those rolls have been searched since those wrappers are machine wrappers.
