Better Than Sex?

[Mentone Grizz]

I went to one of my favorite banks this week to pick up an order of halves. The teller (now my VERY FAVORITE teller) said that in addition to my boxes, she had some rolls for me, and did I want them. As any CRH'er worth their salt would do, I eagerly said yes. She sold me $213.00 additional, twenty-one rolls and six loose coins. I stuffed them into my pockets and loaded the boxes in my truck. I hadn't driven very far before curiosity got the best of me, especially since the wrappers looked to be fairly antique. I grabbed a roll at random, opened an end and poured twenty 90% Kennedys into my hand! This was a first for me, as up to that date, I had never found a full roll of silver. I immediately called my wife and relayed the news. I told her that I was afraid to open another roll because I was afraid that it would NOT be silver. She said to go ahead and open another one, and I commenced to pour a full roll of Walkers and Franklins into my hand! When I told her that, she made me promise to stop opening them and bring them on home so she could share in the excitement. I raced home and we slowly opened the rest of the rolls, savoring each happy moment of discovery. Roll after roll was 100% silver keepers! I made the comment that "This is almost as good as sex!!", and she did not disagree (which makes me suspect that maybe I should be spending LESS time CRH'ing). By the time the smoke had cleared, all 21 rolls were silver. There were 5 Walker's, 35 Franklin's, 325 90% Kennedy's (most of which were in pristine condition!), and 56 40%ers. Yes, there was even an extra coin in one of the 21 rolls! 421 keepers!! 129.66 ounces of silver, all in one relatively small transaction.

This was the biggest hit I have had in three years of CRHing. Needless to say, today I am taking a big bag of goodies to the branch for "putting up with me".

Still Grinning, Grizz

Holy Moly!!! That is a great score!! Major congratulations!! That is better than a dream box, considering you only had to spend a little over $200 for 129 oz of silver!!!! You are my new hero!!

$2300 +/-, is a wuhooooooooooooo, for sure, our best find was in 19 of 20 Boxes all from same Bank in the same week took us couple days to do them all but they yielded 162 ounces; so far have not heard anyone with greater find but the one who got think it was 735 Walkers from his teller friend that were dropped of at his Bank, if my math is aright that would be around 245 ounces.

Woo, congrats. Awsome score.

Although I might not mention the sex thing to her. Since she agreed, she might be trying to tell you something....

There is still silver out there!

So how were the boxes?

 

[ivan salis]

be nice and give your teller freind a nice gift -- i sure would for $2300 in silver

while the wife is "pumped" up --might be a good time to fix the other issue "problem"

The four boxes that I picked up produced a total of one Franklin, one 90%, nine 40% and one proof. Pretty anticlimactic after the hand roll adventure, that's for sure.....

Ivan - I probably should buy the wife a nice gift, thereby killing two birds with one stone, so to speak....

- congrats! Enjoy the moment. It amazes me every time a major find happens here. This is the best one for the year that has been reported. Go out and reward yourself. I'd sell a few and get something nice.

I was walking down the beach today here in California and I came upon this nice looking girl in hotpants, high heels and fishnet nylons. Obviously a "working" girl. When I asked her, "How much?", her response was "Fifty bucks or a roll of half dollars". You don't suppose?....................NAW!

 

[Mentone Grizz]

Where you going with that, packerbacker??
Don't make me come find you!!

Never better than sex, but still a GREAT day. :-)

 

[Hi Ho Silver!]

WOW That's as good as it gets!!! Good for you. I'll bet is was someone who died and the collection was just rolled it up and taken to the bank to cash in.

That's a great score. Once in a life time. Reminds me of the 23 rolls of all walking Liberty and Franklins I score in NJ back in 2007. Congrats!
