Apush: Finally a little silver

[apush]

Hello All,
Presently, I only search 5 boxes of halves per week due to work time constraints. Pickens have been slim to none for the last several months. At bank "A" I pick up 2 boxes--this week was a no show. At bank "B" only one box arrived out of 3. Needless to say, I was disappointed as Friday nights are my down time with Mr. Apush, a nice meal, and a Modelo Especial--or two. So, I head home with my single box and get things ready for a nice evening.

I open the box and see two Ben's next to each other staring at me. I then pull all the rolls out and take a look at the obverse and reverse and set those with silver showing. Then, well, the pics tell the rest of the story. Last roll had 9 silvers. I was very surprise at the ratio of 90% v. 40%. Of course, my thoughts were, "What could have been in the other boxes?" Alas, I will never know . . . .

Yep, it is "still out there." Sometimes it takes a bit longer for the silver to come around than it use to.

HSH,
apush

Shoot, APUSH, you've been in the game long enough that you know 65 90%'ers is an awesome box - not just a "little" silver. Congratulations. Get your hands on as many boxes as you can in the short term so that you can continue to mine that silver vein.

Very nice! It's good to see that there is always a chance of a great box. Hope the rest of the silver dump makes it to your boxes. HH

Congrats Apush! That's the best box i've seen posted on here in quite a few years. Were there any better dates in the Walkers?

 

[apush]

Mountainman--no key or semi-key dates. Learned a while back from a poster to always check those dates and mint marks!

apush! it's nice to hear from you, congratulations on finding an awesome box! 25 ounces of silver isn't a bad catch at all. I wish you the best of luck in the following weeks as there might be some more loaded boxes circulating. Thanks for sharing,

A little silver? That was a dream box for sure, esp with the nice ratio of 90% v. 40% like u said. Love all the Benders too!

Big congrats!

"Only" five boxes a week? Wow -- that's pretty high volume from where I sit! I wish I had the time (and the patience) to do that much!

Great pictures and cartoon. Congrats on the amazing haul!

That's a whole lot better than 100 40%ers. very cool. We should have an additional designation called a 'free box'. By my math yours qualifies. Very nice. Glad to see it's still out there.

Wow! Amazing box! Congratulations!

when do i get my turn??

 

[mAGma]

Kinda makes you wonder - somebody took all those to the bank and walked out with less than $35 cash! What a world we live in

Wow,

I had no idea it was still possible.... I guess you showed me it was. You restored my faith in CRH !!

Keep @ it and HH !!!
