[QUOTE="FmrFiatFollower, post: 2008416, member: 35871"]Hello, my fellow treasure hunters! My birthday is just around the corner and I'm one step closer to the precipice of the hill...If there is one thing I've learned from coin roll hunting it's that persistence pays off, but not until you're just about ready to "call it a quits". I had all but given up on half-dollar roll hunting after a very lackluster run of several tens of thousands of coins searched with nothing to show for it. Today, I've finally surpassed an old record of mine from years ago by collecting 242 pre-1970 half dollars out of 10 boxes. Surprisingly, the vast majority of them were collected from four boxes. Many rolls had 2-3 silvers, some contained 4-5 in each roll and I think a half dozen or so had 6-8 per roll...My hands couldn't unroll them fast enough. Here is the breakdown: Box #1: [LIST] [*]1965: 3 [*]1966: 9 [*]1967: 28 [*]1968-D: 36 [*]1969-D: 32 [/LIST] Box #2: [LIST] [*]1958-D: 1 [/LIST] Box #3: [LIST] [*]1965: 3 [*]1966: 8 [*]1967: 20 [*]1968-D: 16 [*]1969-D: 17 [*]1973-S: 1 [/LIST] Box #4: [LIST] [*]NOTHING [/LIST] Box #5: [LIST] [*]1966: 2 [*]1967: 2 [*]1968-D: 2 [*]1969-D: 2 [/LIST] Box #6: [LIST] [*]1965: 1 [/LIST] Box #7: [LIST] [*]NOTHING [/LIST] Box #8: [LIST] [*]NOTHING [/LIST] Box #9: [LIST] [*]1969-D: 1 [/LIST] Box #10: [LIST] [*]1964: 2 [*]1965: 5 [*]1966: 5 [*]1967: 14 [*]1968-D: 20 [*]1969-D: 13 [/LIST] [ATTACH=full]361375[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]361376[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]361377[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]361378[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]361379[/ATTACH] The best part of the night was my family joining in on the excitement which made it all the more enjoyable, and something I'd like to repeat in the not-so-distant future :) So, thank you, Bank of America for my early birthday gift...lets make this a regular thing please!!![/QUOTE]
