Just had a first with this last case and WOW! Greatest case yet!
1915 Barber!!!!
1949 Ben
1964 Kennedy
2 1967 Kennedy's
3 1969 Kennedy's

This is the first and only Barber half I have ever had. I was blown away :hello2:
The problem now is I don't have any more rolls to search and am pumped :BangHead:
I am going to hit the banks tomarrow and see if I can find a drop bank like I posted earlier today and buy whatever coins they have. Just feel lucky tonight..:)

Does your Barber have a mintmark on the back? If not, it is scarce date. Congrats!

And it looks to be in pretty good condition as well. Mine was a wreck lol.

Congrats to the OP. Its a blast pulling a Barber. Also, getting a Ben, 90 and 40% Kennedy halves, cant complain about that box at all!

Saw your reply and looked at it it and has a 'D' mint mark. I am not a big collector, yet to find this in a roll just blew me away. With these rolls, someone must have cashed in grandpa's collection, maybe dad's. Either way, I like what I got..:)
 

Alright Silverbug!! Awesome finds. When is your next box coming in?
 

Congrats on the finds especially the barber! Been a long time since I've seen my first and only. As for the dumping, I always like to believe that it was a disgruntled wife or girlfriend (I'll show him). :laughing7:
 

:icon_thumleft: Congrats on the great box especially the Barber. Those are very rare to find. It does look to be in great condition. I found one but it was much more worn. Hope your future boxes are as good.

HH Everyone
 

awesome barber man!
 

AWESOME BARBER!!!
nothing like a nice haircut, even if it is winter time outside

Hope you find more, HH, BB.

Nice find i just found my 1st!!!!! 1897
 

Congratulations on finding the Barber and your other finds! Still looking for my first as well! Good luck with Tuesdays boxes... :icon_thumleft:
 

Thank you for all the positive reply's..:)
I am chomping at the bit for my next two cases and see if my luck continues. This is a great site with lots of friendly folk. That is hard to find these days. My report tomarrow might be late, yet I will post and give you all an update.

I went by three banks to try and work out a dump bank and was met with less than expected. The only bank that was receptive was Chase and they stated that it would take seven to ten days for my account to be credited. Yuk... I guess that I will half to open an account with another grand to keep this bad habit of mine going..:) Tired of going through the same coins.

Thanks again, and will give a report tomarrow.
