    Thanks Inquisitive...yes, I am. I think the most interesting statistic in there is the breakout of each 100 boxes...REMARKABLY consistent for the first 300, and then a definite drop off for the last 100 boxes.

    Today I got two boxes:
    Box one:
    3 40%ers
    1 1960 Franklin
    2 Walkers 1934 and 1927s!!!!!! (oldest half I've every found....in fact, the 34 was the oldest for one roll until I found the 27).

    The 1927 is in bad shape (you can't read the "19," but can make out the "27"), but I'll definitely take it!!!

    Box 2 later.

    4 of the 6 coins including the Frankie and the 2 walkers were in the last 2 rolls.

    I also found $3 of loose Gettysburg and Glacier quarters as well as 7 rolls of 2011 D H/T rolls of Glacier. :D It's been a good coin day.

    Box of dimes from lunch break.
    I was able to search $150 worth of it for 1 x 1963 Roosie (ender)
    This month I have searched $5260 worth of dimes and have scored 40 US Silver dimes for a 1.90 average per box.
    That is just slightly higher than my overall average for the year.
    My half average per box is 2.07 silvers per box. Not as good as you Bob.

    merc, over 30 silvers, nice haul!

    so the lady that always orders halves for me and my dad left, so we were wondering what the new person would be like and if they wouldn't mind ordering 2 boxes of halves for us per week. it turns out she is really nice, and as she was handing us the boxes she asked us what we did with them. we said that we look through them and pull out any interesting stuff and she was like
    "how exciting", lol, not the most common reaction we get. anyways the results :

    Box 1 : 1960 Franklin, 4 40%
    Box 2 : 4 40%

    I also got a box of nickels and there was a buffalo ender, I only opened that roll and 1 other, the ender was a '25, also the other roll I opened had a '43-P War.

    Another box of halves = skunk.

    Today's CWR's had promise. The teller told me that a plumber had just deposited $400 worth of CWR halves. The story was that a 90-year-old woman hired the plumber and paid him in halves. It was a great story and I was excited until I got skunked.

    Then again, I shouldn't complain. This is the same branch that I got $30 worth of all silver from single teller.

    And, I've stumbled across someone's dump bank. Is anyone dumping halves in the Marin County part of the San Francisco Bay Area, specifically at Wells Fargo branches? If so, I'm sweeping up behind you.

    Did three more boxes tonight.

    First box of halves produced a 52 Franklin.
    Second box of halves produced a 68 and a 66 in excellent condition. Very shiny and seems to have been barely circulated. This box also produced my first ever Walker, a 44. It appears to be painted. The eagle is gold and the rest of the coin is a darker shaded color. Appears it was made that way.

    I finished the night with a box of dimes which produced a 2009P and a 42 Mercury.

    Overall it has been a good week for me. I will try to get another box of halves and dimes tomorrow.

    Well today turned out to be my best silver day. I picked up three boxes of halves that I ordered a few weeks ago that they said they didn't get last week like planned. I called on a hunch that maybe they did show up. I called and they had. Here is what they produced:

    Box 1 = five 1964's, two 1965's, and three 1966'2s. First box to produce ten silvers pieces for me!
    Box 2 = one 1963 franklin and a 1968.
    Box 3 = one 1964.

    Very happy with the results for today and the week. Here's hoping next week is just a good.

    I haven't done much searching lately. Only getting about 1 box of halves per week. Finally got a decent score this week.

    3 40%ers
    1 Walker

    Probably start searching a lot of Dimes once the weather gets worse...which means soon. :)

    I found this one in a roll recently. 1960 d sd-crop.jpg

    I believe it to be one of the re-strike varieties. Coppercoins show a bunch of different ones and I haven't matched it up yet. It's difficult for me to compare coins to pics. lol
