Loomis bag of $500 in halfs = 1 40%.

I told the teller at this bank to quit ordering bags for me, since I hadn't seen anything of interest for so very long. Then I find a 40% -----

I got my four Brinks $250 dime boxes today and found:

6--90% Rosies ('64, (2) '63, '61, '56, '48)
1--90% Mercury (19??)
1--1968 Canadian dime (I don't think it's the 50% silver kind)
1--1999 UK 5 Pence
1--1985 Hong Kong 10 Cents

A decent haul, all things considered

Well, I picked up my new batch today and this evening opened the first one. I immediately saw 4 of the black J's staring at me which I put on 1 out of each roll I turn in. Thought to myself - this isn't good, but lo and behold the box did give me some silver.

I upped my Friday order to 6 boxes, and boy am I ever glad that I did. The numbers you're about to see still seem unreal to me, but after many pinches I still haven't woken up, so they are in fact real. Box 6 had 45 rolls with at least 1 walker or Franklin in it, and many rolls had 5, 6, and 8. There was even one roll with 9 and one roll with 12. Here's the box by box breakdown with some pictures underneath.
