Super Dream Box from Brinks!

[mountainman 2]

Hello all,i'm kind of excited right now. Just got home and opened my first box. Guess what was staring back at me. I just finished opening my 2nd roll. 1st roll on bottom right had nothing, next one over from it had 17 silvers(2 Walkers, 8 Bens, and 7-64s. I will keep you updated as i go thru this box. My hands are shaking.

I took a quick count,i will confirm it against my records. Looks like the totals are 77 walkers, 219 bens, 299-1964s,4-40%ers and 1 barber for a total of 600 silver coins,most of which are 90%ers.I didn't include a ben in one of the rolls,probably the last roll . Thanks everyone. What a day! Sorry silvercop, i'm done for the day.

CONGRATULATIONS on this spectacular find. I knew there was a box like this out there, and there are probably more.

 

[silvercop]

i just can't stop looking at those pics....AMAZING

You might want to brace those table legs.....lol. This is totally awesome MM!!! Great pictures. Well deserved I might add.

I nominated this for the banner already. I can't see any reason it would not make it. As Tony the Tiger says....this is gggreeeeaaaaat!!

Thanks LJ and everyone else for the nomination but it's just dumb luck,you just never know what you'll find in a box. A couple of weeks ago i went thru 3 skunk brink boxes in a row and was ready to give up on Brinks altogether.I was even considering calling the bank and cancelling the order.Hope everyone here finds their dream box. HH-MM2

 

[silvercop]

MM.....again, CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am sure it was emotional going through that box. I can understand being worn out. I am sooo excited for ya.

I am sure you will be checking for key dates from all of the Franklin's and Walkers. Please let us know what turns up. Also the other two boxes also. I am sure you will be getting more of these Brinks boxes......ha!!

Again, kudos to you and Mrs. MM. This is what dreams are made of!!!

Also, you made the post so exciting with the play-by-play....had me sitting on the edge of my seat waiting on the next update...I loved it!!!!

Absolutely Amazing! Must be some sort of record.

Silvercop, i opened the top of the other 2 boxes but didn't see anything showing.They can wait for another day,i've had my fix.

This is absolutely awesome! Any key date in those walkers?

There were a lot in the teens and twenties but they were well worn for the most part. One year that sticks out for some reason, there was a lot of 1929-s in there,i'll look thru the years more carefully later on though. Thanks.

 

[silvercop]

the only thing i have seen that came close to this is when mr. geee found all those uncirculated ben franklin halves. i hope he sees this thread. i am just speechless. i usually reserve the following message icon for LJ only but you deserve it

Re: Super Dream Box from Brinks!(600 silver coins!)

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

 

[TxTim]

Holy Moly!
I will certify them for you!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's official!!

CONGRATS!!!

BANNER!

 

[FingerGrime]

That is bad ass! Congratulations! I can't wait to see the breakdown by date and mintmark!

 

[Jimmy@romega]

Great job most likely a collection got turned in at a bank coin machine. I just can't imagine this slipping thru teller's tray or a vault.

 

[silverfinder]

Congratulations. I suspect that you received an old box, packed a number of years ago, when the price of silver was perhaps $3.00 an ounce and few were ordering boxes of half dollars. Somehow, fortuitously, this box was stored away and forgotten until now, and you received it. I believe that older boxes, or older pallets of coins containing significant numbers of silver halves, still exist, but it's anyone's guess as to how many such boxes or pallets remain. Again, congratulations. Now - what will you do with all of these silver coins? Sell or hold? And check the Walkers for key dates!

 

[joad]

Wow!! I'd be happy with those totals for the whole year. Congrats!

MM, I echo all that others have already stated ! That haul is one for the ages and one you'll never forget.

Much kudos, enjoy the high and we look forward the date detail.

Good luck trying to sleep tonight. 8)
