Is this your first proof ender, or first silver proof ender? It looks like it is in pretty nice condition from the picture whichever it is. Nice find, hope that ender is good luck for you and you find many more in that roll and others.
Thanks Minky...its my first ender PERIOD in halves. I got a full roll of 1955D dimes, but I have been having almost no luck in halves, this will get me going for a little while longer, I was just about to give up!
Just keep at it and they will come. If what you are doing is not working don't be afraid to change things up, different bank, more CWR, or anything you can think of. The more answers that you can come up with for any problem you may have will sooner or later lead to success, as long as you don't quit. 48 is a lot of boxes to go through, I feel sorry for you but way to keep at it, if they are all from the same bank or a few banks try different ones until you hit on something. I just tried paying 5 dollars a box last week from Regions and got 2 boxes, got 7 40%'s and 2 proofs so it was OK money wise. I sure wouldn't have wanted to pay 240 dollars to find nothing so at least your OK with it only costing you expenses and time. Nice find on the roll of dimes, I found 3 almost solid rolls one week and then got 1 more the week after in the same wrapper from the same teller so I know how good that feels to find a whole roll. Pays for the whole year in a dime short here or there, funny money, or whatever. I got a sealed box of dimes 2 weeks ago, had one roll short by 5 dimes, I almost kept it it was so funny looking. Just keep on stacking the dimes and try everything you can think of, have a relative 2 towns over from you order a couple of boxes for you, and try different banks and you will start finding some good halves, they are out there waiting just for you. Good luck and HH.
48 boxes is a ton. I went through 10 and got nothing. Why go through 10 boxes of halves and getting nothing when you can go through 10 boxes of dimes in plastic wrap in less than half the time and get 10+ keepers? Idk...just my opinion
