Each of the last 4 boxes yielded less than the one before. This is NOT a good sign for my next one.


Regression to the mean. I suggest not griping about it and instead appreciating your good fortune.



But, But, I LIKE to gripe, isn't my right to gripe covered somewhere in the Constitution??? It must be, our judges seem to be able to find everyother off the wall right covered there.

The latest SILVER stats for September have been posted. Look to the first post of this thread to get the details. Always look to the line just before the Kitco quotes to see the last post that was included in the latest update.

Sometimes you get hit by something totally unexpected.

Half Box #82

1 1961
1 1957

1 1918

And this THIS:

1838 CAPPED BUST

Since my knowledge of coins of that timeframe is next to nothing I had to research it just to find out it's name.

I'm no expert in grading coins, but the closest picture I've found to match the condition of mine is this one:

I think that I'll treat myself to an adult beverage now :D

Bama, awesome find. I think thats the first I have ever seen a capped pulled from a box. Seen a few seated but never any capped. Well done! You have been getting some smoking boxes lately.

WOW!!! What a great find.... :mrgreen: A $100 coin. Check to see if it has an "O" mint mark on the obverse (a $40000 coin).

It's the oldest SILVER coin reported (older than the 1854 Love Token found by cecropia_moth on 6/27/10).
