My best box o' nicks in 2010:

3 AG Wars - 1942P, 1944D, 1945P
1 Buff - 1925
1 V - 1903 - My first ever V from a box!!!!!!!
33 pre-1960 including 7 - 1939! Weird.

1 Canadian - 1998.

Fun box - did notice I didn't get a single 2009, and I usually get 3-4 p/box.

Almost forgot to post - teller had a nice shiny silver half in her tray - sold it to me for two clad quarters. It was a purty 1958 Franklin!

Its been Christmas around here today!

$500 Brinks box

3- 90% Walker halves 1919D, 1939S, 1944D
1- JFK 40% 1969D
1- JFK clad proof 1989S
5- JFK NIFC 2003P, 2003D, 2005P X2, 2009D,
other 1 1975 Hong Kong One Dollar piece
1 1990 Iraq 250 FILS I think it's a 1990 because it has a 199. on it. Both looked up in Krause

The 1919D walker is very worn I would say a G4. The 1944D is at least a MS-63.

Just for the fun of it I weigh each roll before I open it. I found 225grams never any silver, at 226 a 50-50 chance of no silver or a 40% or a 90%, at 227 always find silver.
Today at 226 1 40%, at 226 the 1939S, at 227 both the 1919D and the 1944D in the same roll.
Now I weighed a roll and it came up 236 grams I never had 1 that weighed that much I thought this must have a lot of silver. I opened it faster than ever and no silver the roll had 20 halves and a extra coin the 1990 Iraq that weighed 10.4 grams. What a let down.
But all in all I can't complain it was a good box.

I WANT TO WISH EVERYONE A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS

Went through a second $250 Brinks dime box after I got off work and found:

1-1920 Mercury
1-1955 D Rosie

I also found a British 5 pence (I've found alot of those) and a very small coin from Sweden I think. It says "10 ore Sverige" on it. It's a 1968.

Half Box #186

Not only a skunk, but the most short box I've ever had.

1 roll 2 halves short
2 rolls 1 half short
1 roll had a nickel instead of a half
2 rolls had a penny instead of halves - and as a further insult they were zinc.
