Flute....I read that the first time and thought you found twenty Buff's!! But looked at it the second time quickly realized you meant a 20' Buff. Either way a great find....but 20 would have been awesome.

 

Back in April my 8 year old and I were getting 2-3 boxes a week from one of our banks, minimum of 2 buffers in each box, but she found 8 in one of the boxes and I found 13 in another. It was as though someone had dumped rolls of buffers into a coin machine somewhere and they were getting dispersed into the mix and we were getting them over a period of weeks. War nickels were also good during that time. Hadn't found another war nickel until yesterday and the buffers have slowed down considerably also.

 

Box #13 of Halves: Skunk
Box #14 of Halves: 1-40%
Box #15 of Halves: 5-40%, 2 BENDERS!!!
Box #16 of Halves: 4-40%, 1-WALKER, 1 BENJAMIN! All found within the first 20 rolls and I desparately was hoping for the Trifecta, the 'Golden Cup' of Halves CRH, the finding of a Walker and a Franklin and a '64 Kennedy. But alas it was not to be. :'(
But I did achieve my altered goal of 500 Silver Halves for the year (and it's only June- Tee Hee). AND, for the first time, thanks to the declining price of silver, I'm above $3000 in silver! I was almost there about 3 months ago. Nice to see that my last 3 months have been so profitable. NOT!

So my new (new) goal is to get 1000 silver coins for the year. I certainly don't expect to reach that one, or at least it'll be close, because silver has seemed to dry up lately. My 20 box moving average is crawling along the bottom with less then 1 coin per box.

 

Getting my 2nd box of Halves today...hoping it's a bit more productive than box #1 was (skunk)...

 

$100 CWR Quarters: Skunked
$40 CWR Dimes: '52
$40 CWR Nickels: Undated Buffalo (S mint--how depressing), '47 (EF), handful of other pre-1960s, but I have decided to no longer keep ALL pre-1960s because of the large quantity of specifically the later 50s dates from the Denver mint.

 

Throw that buffalo in some vinegar.

 

How strange that sentence would look if you didn't collect coins.

 

Boxes #17-#22 of Halves: 4-40%

 

The $60 in CWR cents from the other day produced a 1939, 8 later dated wheats, a couple of Canada GVI cents, a dozen or so YH's and three dimes. Ho hum. I only buy the cents because they sell me all those other coins and I feel obligated to take them. Not sure why I even search them.

Searched the balance of my penny box ($15+/-). Found a good bit of copper, a 1913, a 1928, a 1929, three canadian and a 1954 S that's dang near mint state. The '54 really caught my eye - it was right on top of the pile, with the wheat back shining!
