Hey everyone, well, I got 6 boxes yesterday and 2 were pretty good! So I had 3 that were skunks, 1 that gave up a 40 and the other 2 gave up 26 40's and 7 90's, one box had 4 enders in it the other had none, the one with no enders gave up 4 of the 90's and 5 of the 40's, one of the 90's is a proof I believe, you guys can tell me if I'm wrong, looks like it to me though, has a mirror background. Did I take enough pics for you guys? Good luck to everyone hunting today! HH, Maverick.

Thanks for the great post, Maverick! Nice pics too! This gives me hope through my recent dry-like spell on halves. (I'm averaging maybe one or two 40%s since the beginning of the year on 5–6K searched weekly.) My last big score like this was way back in early December. Looks like I need to start searching Brinks again!

It has been really slow the last few months, it took me well over 20 boxes to get to this one, now it will be 10-15 skunks again I'm sure, this doesn't even come close to making up for all the driving dumping and skunks that I have encountered lately, but it is enough to just keep me going. HH, Maverick.

Oh wow, that looks like my Friday too! I had some good boxes as well. That looks like a 1964 proof! I found a 1999 S 90% proof this week. Your wrappers from Brinks look just the same as mine with the loose paper at the end.

Ya, after the backwards white rolls I started getting these again, it was nice to finally get a decent box after so many skunks and reraps, but I know it will be short lived, I hope not, but the trend lately is many many skunks and then 1 good one. HH, Maverick.

Proof or not that '64 would SOOOO be in the 'official' collection were it mine. That is a VERY nice piece. Talk about standing out in a crowd.

Agreed that proof is a real interesting find! Hopefully your halves will keep producing

Is it the "accented hair" variety?

Hey Arkie, honestly, I'm really Ignorant in the Numismatic side of coins, so I'm not sure. What am I looking for?

That sure looks like a '64 proof. I found a couple of Ben proofs a few weeks ago and from what I researched there weren't any S mint marks for certain years until '68 (I think?).

Congrats on the find!!! Just like they say, it's not something you see every day. Hehe

Judging what Boristhespider's link pic shows there, mine would be the "Accented hair" variety, I just looked at it under magnafication. HH, Maverick.

I found this little beauty a while back, only other pre 65 proof I have ever found. HH, Maverick.
