Haven't sorted halves in a long time. Tired of being skunked. Recently started a new job and getting regular paychecks again so I decided to try a box or two. Called my bank and ordered four boxes right before Thanksgiving. Sat down last night and opened up my first box couldn't believe that I saw a silver half staring out at me. Then another wow this might be o.k. maybe my luck changed.
Opened up roll after roll and couldn't believe my eyes. Almost fell out of the chair after nearly wetting myself.
Finally tally after my first $500.00 box $60.00 face in post 64 40% halves. Couldn't believe it. Opened the other three boxes and back to skunksville but thats o.k. because I did find two rolls worth of 2006 and 2007 NIFC"S as well as one and a half rolls of 2004 NIFC halves. Have to admit that I have never had this good of a find in all my boxes of searches. YES I did call the bank and placed another order for more boxes first thing this a.m.

Thouse are the boxes we dream about. I've had what I consider 2 "monster" boxes in the 150+ bozes I sorted and eagerly look forward to another someday. Congrats.
If you are waiting for the "correction" to buy you need to realize that the increasing prices ARE the correction.
$100 Silver soon coming to a location near you.

WD... congrats on that monster box, and even moreso in getting back into the job market. I imagine it was pretty rough on you there for awhile.

Very nice WD. Glad you found a job and are working now. Congrats on the job and the load of silver you found!
