Thanks Goldin, the results are not getting better.

Another box, and only found one "s" mint. Of course, another 1992-s.
Would have preferred one I had not just found earlier this week.

Oh well, none on order now. Maybe next week.

Good stuff JJ. Keep at it and you'll get better finds, it's the one constant in this hobby.

Hobby? Don't you mean addiction?

Thanks

Any S mintmark half dollar signifies a proof coin. Proofs were specially made collector coins that were struck twice using specially polished dies that give the resulting coin a mirror finish with extremely sharp details.

Proof aren't made for circulation so when one is found it's an oddity. There's usually no extra value attached unless the coin doesn't exhibit any wear or heavy contact marks.
