I got my box of halves, and it had the usual few 40% and few 90%. The big score was the big penny mixed in. At first I thought it was an old British penny, but after I looked at it, I nearly shat myself. It was an 1802 cent. As excited as I was to find it, it was in such rough shape (maybe a 2-3 out of 70) that I can prob never sell it, but I don't care. This is the type of coin I will hold on to till I croak. Think of all the history it has seen.

The constitution was 15 years old
Thomas Jefferson was president
The war of 1812, and the "Star Spangled Banner" was 10 years away
The Civil War was 59 years away.
It is 209 years old.........

I know we are all in this for the Ag, but WOOOOOOW!!!!!! This made my day more than my best silver score.

Not to take away from your big penny find, but a few 40% and 90% being typical for a box seems pretty good to me! 1 40% per box is about average in the Midwest...
