Okay so I don't know how all of you go about half dollar roll hunting. But I personally enjoy saving the boxes with enders for last. This way you get all the skunks out of the way and have at least some silver boxes at the end.
I just finished all the boxes this week except for the 4 boxes with enders. Three boxes have at least 1 ender, and One box has 8 or more enders!!! I'm looking forward to searching these boxes. But I have a friend that wants to see the process in action. He'll be at my place this Sunday, which was 4 days away (now three).
Could you wait to open them? I don't mind because I'll record the hunt. But what about all of you, could you hold off?

Plain and simple answer...NO. If I know I have silver I have to know how much. Instant gratification.

Man your gonna trick your friend into thinking this half dollar game is easy and there's silver loaded in every box
I would have already opened them and showed him how you sort through some skunk boxes

He's aware of the risks. He's never found silver in the boxes.
I sorted the box and need to edit the video a little, but I'm going to post tonight or tomorrow. It was the best box I've had in a while. It made up for all the skunks I've had to go through these past weeks. Sorry not going to spoil the video with details

I have nowhere near the will power needed to let those "loaded" rolls sit while I sift through junk!

I'd open them ASAP. When there's one silver showing there might be a chance of a loaded roll--and I want to know if I got one right away.
