After 3 years I Finally Got My Stone Mountain - and Another (Updated)

I have been hitting half's hard for 3 years and have found what I consider a nice mix of non-ordinary finds, including 5 90% silver commemoratives (including 2 1893 Columbian Expo's), and 5 or 6 types of clad commemoratives, but have had my heart set on finding a Stone Mountain Comm. Well I finally got one in last week's boxes along with my 6th 1970.

Boxes have been very good in general last 2 weeks with 83 40's, 14 90% Kens, 4 Bens, and 1 WL, out of 8 boxes, but the SMC was the big daddy for me.

With all of the SMC's showing up on the forum lately, I'm betting someone dumped a roll or a collection a little while back. I think I've seen 4 or 5 the last couple of months, and they aren't that common.

Also posting a couple of foreign 90%'s I've found that I think are pretty cool for eye candy.

I hope you enjoy the pics.

I got my second one in 6 months...guess I'll shoot for a rarer comm. now. New pictures added at bottom.

Nice score. I hope I find a stone mountain someday, just gotta get lucky I guess. Balboas are pretty sweet too, I found one earlier in the year. Looks like you had a good day.

Nice finds there. Some cool looking coins. Congrats - finds like those are what makes the hobby interesting.

I think I like this one better than the first.

This SMC was a pleasant surprise...recovery volume has been terrible as of late.

Send some to Chicago Fed District. I just started back up a couple of weeks ago and 1 of my first boxes I got a 1893 Columbian Half. What have I been missing the last 4 years!
