Just realized I didn't post any pics of the finds this week.... so, here they are. It was a bit of a light week, but better than nothing!

Did a box of halves today and got my first ender! It wasn't pretty but it was there. 1 90%ers and 5 40%s out of the box.

Also got some cwr quarters dimes and nickels, I'll give a report on those later tonight.

Did the cwr I got yesterday. $100 in nickels = 1 war nickel, $215 in dimes = 1 silver Rosie, $120 in quarters = skunk.

Friday my boxes were delayed so I had nothing to crh over the weekend
Left out coming home yesterday morning and stopped by a random wf and picked up a box. It was a skunk but atleast I had something to search. The girlfriend and I are in town now raking care of some business and I'm gonna hit up a few banks while we are here. Wish us luck!

 

[Sfynks870]

Well, did $45 in loose and found 2 40%ers. Got a box to do as well with 2 enders, so I have high hopes for it. The stepson is getting out of school early today, so I'm going to wait for him to help with it. I'll give an update once it's finished.

Pics of the 2 40s

So the box was pretty good. 3 90% jfks, and 15 40%ers. Also found a 71 that looks silver. I don't know what the deal with it is. I'm going to weigh it later to see how it comes out. The last pic is of its edge with a clad on both sides. It is really dirty, but still stand out like a sore thumb.

Nice score...99.9% sure the 71 is not silver but who knows.

 

[Sfynks870]

Well, struck out on halfs today. Only found $20 in loose halfs and they were all clad. Then the only cwr I could find was $110 in quarters, which with my luck was obviously a skunk lol. The only scores at all today were 3 wheats I pulled from pocket change, however, I did pick up a 2016 red book and a cherry pickers guide today. And I was happy about that. I have three boxes lined up tomorrow on my ride to work. Hoping for some luck!

 

[Sfynks870]

One of my 3 boxes fell through today. I did still get 2 of them however, and decided to do one of them in the truck while I was pulled over for a break.

Pulled 7 90% jfks and 62 40%ers. The best box I've done yet! And the best part is, the second box came from the same batch. I haven't done the second one yet, but it won't be long now that I'm finally at the rig. I can hardly stand unpacking my stuff! I want to do it now! Lol

 

[Rick624]

Nice haul for a box !

 

[Sfynks870]

And the second box was even better!

11 90%ers
76 40%ers

 

[Zomotion]

Great two boxes! That's a fantastic haul

 

[Sfynks870]

Thanks zomotion, I was beyond happy. I only wish I was going home when I got them so the girlfriend and stepson could have taken part in the excitement. But, I have 4 more boxes ordered from the same bank for the trip back, so they might get to see some of the action

 

[Rick624]

That's 2 dream boxes in my book !

 

[cowtipping1]
