    Husband came home with a box of his own so between the 5 boxes we found 22 40%ers, 2 64s, and those 13 rolls of 93s.

    2 boxes of dimes had 6 rosies and my first mercury dime :D. also got 2 boxes of nickels. the one box I saw a buffalo on the end of a roll through the box before I even opened it, that box had 6 dateless buffs. the second box of nickels had 3 war nickels, one is still silver in color and in pretty good condition O.O I didn't think it was even silver at first lol.

    EDIT: on a side note, I finally decided I can't save all my boxes :( they're taking up too much room.

    My bank boxes this week didn't do so well. Got 1 40% from 3 boxes.

    Picked up 2 boxes of quarters, found 1 silver and 1 Bahamas 25c.

    6 boxes of dimes yielded 3 silver and a '62 Canadian.

    Picked up a partial box of BWR today during lunch and found 2 40%'s. A '68d that is really shiny and looks re-silvered or something.

    Bought 5 CWR rolls from another bank on the way back. One roll had a Frankie ender and I thought I hit the jackpot, but ended up having only one more Franklin right under it.

    Dimes have been tough lately. Last week went through maybe 10 boxes of dimes with only one silver. I try to find at least one silver something per day, usually ends up being a dime, but last couple weeks that hasn't happened.

    I turned in my $750 of bwr today and got ten in cwr of nickels. Ended up with a 42 war nickel in the first rolls I searched. Nothing else but one for five is good to go :)

    Box of Pennies: 15 Wheaties, 2 Indian Head (1900 and 1888, both were really beat up, one so much that it doesn't fit in my coin tube), 6c Canadian (including 2 1960s) and 5gr from Poland. Not a bad box I guess

    Box of Halves: 2x 40%.

    There were searchers marks all over my halves again. I really need to find a new bank to order halves from :(

    Hopefully I can find a 2nd box of Dimes and Nickels to go through this weekend!

    Box of Halves - No silver but this pretty cool pocket piece. Pocket Piece.jpg

    Found a bank that will let me buy the bag off the coin counter. $260.50 worth. I'll let you know.

    Looks like it was someone's pocket piece for years. Probably since the day it was made!

    Is that literally from walking around with the coin in your pocket?

    Time for me to find some Micheal Jackson pants or something with like 30 pockets in it!! :D

    okay, so I have been ordering 2 boxes a week from the same bank for a few months now. I've been averaging like 2-3 coins every 6 boxes. not much but better than nothing since I can only find so much by scrounging around and there is only one coin delivery service so going to different banks to order boxes won't matter.

    I go in today to pick up my 2 boxes and the teller mentions that this other guy just ordered ONE box on a whim last week. HE FOUND 18 COINS!!! Not huge by most of your standards but that would have been a major box for me!! I'm going to be really bummed if these 2 boxes I got today don't produce!

    The teller told you that? I would never share with a teller what I'm doing or what I'm finding, that's a good way to get cut off quickly. Keep it on the DL.
