Then lo and behold, after 27 skunks there was actually SILVER. Ok, not much but at this point I'll take anything.

Half Box #262

On top of that I had a 2011S silver dime in my change today from Hardee's.
You got to wonder who would be stupid enough to break up a proof set to spend it.
Even if you knew nothing about coins the fact that it was a set sealed inside a plastic set should tell you something.

I picked up 4 boxes of halves today, pretty much skunks, except
1 1893 Columbian Expo half dollar
13 various Proofs
120+ NIFC, (1987, 2002-2010)

I was super happy with the 1893!!

Thought I would total up my results from June and it was a true disaster of a month. In fact, my previous worst month in February was twice as good as June.

38 boxes searched
15 40% found and 7 90% found
Total of 4.7503 oz of silver or a sorry .1283 oz per box
Total of 22 silver coins or .59 coin per box

29 Skunks with 27 of them in a streak.

The only good thing is this afternoon I picked up another batch of 8 boxes and they have a different number stamped on them so maybe these will get better.
