    OK!!

    Finished that first box that I pulled those 5 rolls from I mentioned earlier..

    AWESOME BOX!!

    '42S Walker
    '52 Frankie
    '54 Frankie (ender)
    '58D Frankie

    And now the proofs...

    '72S
    '81S
    '82S
    '84S
    '86S
    '90S
    '91S

    A 1986 proof half dollar with "Liberty In God We Trust" on one side with liberty looking at a sun, and "United States of America" "A nation of immigrants" E Pluribus Unum" on the other with a family on a dock looking at NYC perhaps?? What the heck is this coin? A Comm??

    3-40% coins
    '82D NO FG
    7 NIFC
    4 MS coins that replaced some in my folder

    I ordered the Dansco with proofs and it will be here in 2 days.. I wondered if I really needed the proof holes, well I'm glad I ordered that thing w/ proofs!!

    AWESOME BOX AND A TON OF FUN!! Not much silver, but a heck of a time! WOOHOO!! Hope the next three have the rest of those proofs! :)

    colligoergosum I collect, therefore I am

    I have never been a roll searcher but today while I was at the bank I asked for all their half dollars on a whim. As soon as she opened the tray I spotted a suspiciously shiny specimen and sure enough it turned out to be a 40% 1967. Needless to say, I then proceeded, in a silver frenzy, to pillage 8 other banks of their half dollars. I was surprised at how few they had! I was able to find maybe $200 in halves and one random roll of Ikes. I ended up with 1 90% 1964, 1 40% 1967, and one 2010 proof! I think it was good for my first time, even if there weren't any Morgans hiding among those Ikes :)

    I found my first silver half from circulation today!! Finaly after dollars and dollars of rolled and loose halves I got it!

    Asked the teller who cashed my pay check for halves, she said "How much do you want?"
    "How much you got?"

    "About $5 worth"

    "I'll take 'em!"

    Then BOOM! 1967 Kennedy! Philladelphia strike! I am so stoked! I wants more!! I needs more!!

    Do you guys save post-2002 half dollars? I just found a 2010 D and was wondering if it's worth saving.

    1 40% per $2K brinks boxes is my best. Worst was 11 boxes straight with none.

    Merc, NICE!

    Brink's Boxes:

    I have NEVER found a silver from them and have searched at least 10 boxes.. I'm almost to the point of just picking them up and driving 5 minutes later and dumping.. I hate those boxes!! :)

    Do you know where that first box was from? The banks I found around here w/ halves are Brinks as well, skunk so far. It'd be nice to know what company lets Frankies and Walkers go in rolls :)

    I thought the same thing when I read that. judging from the rest of his finds in that box, I'm assuming he means the modern ones, but I hope I'm wrong. If they really are buffalos, that is quite a find!

    Yeah I thought the same after I posted. OK, so let's no longer refer to Westward's as "buffs"!
