First box

Postby philadelphiafan » Mon Apr 09, 2012 10:59 am

This weekend I did my first 25 dollar box. Before this I only had done ten dollars at a time. I got 21.4% coppers, 12 wheats, 3 2009s and 6 Canadians. I was shocked I got 4 times as many wheats asi got 09s. Reasons for this?

Luck of the draw.

Congrats on the first box, you will be flying through them in no time now! I don't keep track of 2009's, they may have lower mintages but I don't see any of the singles found in circulation gaining much value. That's a nice amount of wheats though!

The only thing remember about my first box is that I under-estimated the wieght and almost dropped it on my foot.

You should know that you find all kinds of odd unexplainable things in those boxes. Check out some of the tracking threads. Last week I found penny with cross stamped clean through it. Since it was Holy Week, I took it as a sign of heavenly approval :)
