My first "Ben in a Box"

I found a few Franklins last year, but both from teller's trays. But, with my terrible luck of 45 skunks in 52 boxes, it is no surprise that I found no Bens in boxes.

Today I did. :-)

I bought 3 boxes mostly to look for some 2008's or other NIFCs, and see if I could get lucky and get something other than a silver skunk. And up popped a 1960 Ben.

Not unique for many here, but a fitrst for me. :-) At least in the box. Now ... I need a shave! ;D

Good old Ben. Always fun to find, he always pops up when you least expect it. Good luck with the shaving. My only Barber half I found in a machine-wrapped roll of rounded-off clad Kennedys. They are out there, anyone has a chance at one (or more). AMC

Re: My first "Ben in a Box"

Congratulations on the Franklin. I have to give you credit for hanging in there after so many skunks. I hope you find a whole box of Franklins. You deserve it
