After hitting a pretty bad skunk streak a few months ago I had decided to take a break from CRH, but the bug eventually bit me again and I restarted by regular weekly order of 4 boxes of halves. So last night after the kids went down I started busting into them, and I'm still in shock at what I found!

The first box was very good: a total of 25 keepers (22 40% Kennedy halves, 2 90% Kennedy halves, and 1 Franklin half). But take a look at this roll, which was a preview of what was to come. Yes Virginia, there are 8 keepers in that one roll!

The second box was nothing exciting: just one 40% Kennedy. But I knew I was in for something special when I opened the third box when I saw several enders looking up at me. Ended up being 12 rolls with enders, including one Walking Liberty ender.

I started opening by ender rolls and was shocked at the results. One roll had 10, another 8, several had 7. When it was all said and done I had 160 keepers from that one box: 136 40% Kennedy, 19 90% Kennedy, 4 90% Franklins, and 1 Walking Liberty Half. Of the 50 rolls in the box, 41 had at least one silver coin.

And what became of the fourth and final box you ask? Skunk! I certainly can't complain though when this is the night's sorted haul. Total for the evening was 159 40% Kennedy, 21 90% Kennedy, 5 Franklin, and 1 Walking Liberty! :hello2:

I'll probably post more detail later on on my blog, but I just had to share this find. This is why we do this! The silver is still out there!

Hellofascore, nice box. Sooo, where can I get a box like that? Hopefully my box next week will be good to me.
 

Awesome, congratulations on your dream box! That's why we all keep at it, the idea of one day getting a box like that!
 

Good find - congrats.

Thanks! Great find, but nowhere near your big banner find. To quote Wayne and Garth "We're not worthy! We're not worthy!" (a reference to the movie Wayne's World for the younger crowd). :notworthy:

That is the true dream score!
