Again, being my first 2 boxes, I didn't know if that was good, bad, or average, but I was pretty pleased. I would have been very bummed to have been skunked on a box.

I would have though people would guess they are worth more than $.50 and pull them out of circulation. That is, until I opened the next box.</p><p><br /></p><p>Second box - 5-90%, 6-40%, 10-Franklins, 24-Walking Liberties!!!</p><p><br /></p><p>Never would I have expected to find that much silver in a box, plus the fact that most were Frankies and Walkers. I don't know if where I live (Western Mass.) nobody is checking boxes of halves, or if they are and I just got real lucky, but wow. I would say about half of the 50 rolls in that box had silver...some rolls had 3 or 4. When I cracked the box open, and looked at the 50 halves showing, 2 Walker reverses and a '64 obverse were staring at me. Had a pretty good idea then, that it was going to be a good box. Only one downside to my find...I have a feeling every box I open from here on out is going to be a bit of a let down compared to this one. Thats ok...after this haul, I'm probably due to get shut out on a couple boxes, but I guess I'll still be ahead of the game. I hope the rest of you roll searchers out there can catch the same luck I did yesterday![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
