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

Very nice box!

Almost without fail, when my weekly box orders would get shorted for whatever reason, the boxes would produce above average. Weird how that works out.

Hello Apush ! How nice to see you posting ! and nicer yet to see you scoring BIG ! This is not a little silver , this is a bigtime score ,
when you look at the total purchase- your silver finds are huge !!! I'm still having real difficulty establishing routes here in Tucson - mainly
because area banks just don't have coin counters , so even if I can find halves I have no dump options for volume (boxes ) . I may have to
content myself with buying any loose rolls available at the teller window . Cheers !

I could have a nice dream all night with HALF of that amount of AG finds. Great goings.

I'm sure the army of benders cure got the heart racing too! I've gotten only two benders in the 5 years searching through halves, I couldn't even imagine 5 of them in one box!!

More important than silver, I am so very glad to see many of my old friends are still here. Thank you to everyone that commented. It is greatly appreciated and with the most respect,
Very HSH from an ol' southern girl,

I don't think I've ever even found my first Bender yet so five in one box would sure be a dream come true for me too lol. And I was just figuring, Apush's box of 75 keepers with 65 x 90% and 10 x 40% was more than twice as good as my best box ever which I got just over two years ago which had 38 keepers with 27 x 90% and 11 40%. I think my only enders from that box was just one or two 40%. But it sure was a fun box to search. I think one of the last rolls had 3 Walkers in it which was sure sweet. But I can only imagine how much fun it would be finding a box that was twice as good as that one. For me that's still just a dream box and not yet a reality box lol.

H$H!

Only 1 word can describe that box: Awesome! Congrats on a great box. That 90% to 40% ratio is something that hasn't been seen for a long time. After a box like that I'm sure the Modelo Especial really tastes good. Hopefully your next boxes continue in the same silver vein.

Nice to see a box like that go to someone that deserves it. Hopefully the next few boxes from that pickup bank produce similarly.
