Today's Two Boxes Plus.........

I picked up my normal Thursday boxes at noon. One was dated 06/07 and the other was undated. I couldn't stand the anticipation of the 06/07 box so I pulled into a parking lot and check both boxes. Both boxes yielded 58 keepers with 3 Franklin's and a 76-S silver.

Back at the office, I called a bank close to my dump bank to see if they had any halves. She could only turn loose of 20 rolls. She had 24 rolls but had to keep four for customers. The lobby closed at 2:00 but she said I could go to the drive up window. I thought I had already hit this bank early on in my CRH'ing but I must have went there when the lobby was closed and left to hit it another day. That has happened a few times to me.

I went to my dump bank...cashed out and then went the 1/4 mile to this other bank. While at the window I saw the teller bring out two trays. Some of the wrappers looked old. She put the 20 rolls in a paper bad and then doubled the bag. I grabbed the top of the bad and lifted it out of the drawer at the window and the bottom fell out. A few rolls busted and coins spewed everywhere, but I heard silver!! Five rolls had "silver" written on them in pencil. I don't know why a teller lets these rolls go unless it just a lack of interest.....she was kinda young. But then they didn't snatch these up when they were brought in either.

I backed up and picked up all these loose coins and rolls off of the ground. When I pulled back up to the window, I asked her if I could exchange four rolls for the other four she had which was okay so I hurried up and checked four rolls until I had four rolls of clad and then exchanged. The four extra rolls produced not a keeper, but at least I tried.

Re: Today's Two Boxes Plus.........

Very nice finds!

I wish I had that luck. My luck is really weak, but I just started!
 

Re: Today's Two Boxes Plus.........

It doesn't get any better than when you see a roll with silver written on it, AND IT IS. Nice score.

Re: Today's Two Boxes Plus.........

Thanks all. I feel very fortunate to be in the area I am in.....that is all it is....the area. Anyone in this area would have the same results. I do hustle and I am persistent, but if the silver would not be there it would not matter how much hustle or persistence is involved, I would not be pulling it.

I had to laugh at myself this morning when I got in my car to go to work. I checked the undated box first yesterday and it contained 18 40% so I put them in my cup holder so I could keep a count of the number I pulled from the box dated 06/07. When I moved an envelope covering the holder to put my cup of coffee in the holder I saw these 18 40% that I forgot in the cup holder from yesterday. I guess those 5 rolls that were marked silver had my head spinning.....lol.

PB - We all know this roll can't last forever. Sooner or later it will come to a screeching halt. I am just riding the wave while it is here. Thanks again.
 

Re: Today's Two Boxes Plus.........

I would suggest that you order about $5,000 in boxes and strike while that Katrina silver jackpot is still around Louisiana. At present, you have the Disneyland of CRH. It really looks like people in that area must have cashed in coins that they had been saving when Katrina hit. I have a business trip into La. and Ms. coming up. I will be spending two weeks in the area and I hope that I can find some of those lucky rolls.
