Solid Rolls of Proofs

[JimDon]

I stopped by the bank today and got three rolls of halves. The first ender was a proof. All but a couple were proofs with one being a 69 silver. There was also one 50 peseta from Spain. This was my first solid rolls Of proofs. The best part is it should complete my later collection.

Sweet. Love finding proofs! A solid roll is extremely rare. I've actually never heard if anyone finding one.

very nice, I was going to suggest it was a cRH dump who got tired of saving them, but the silver pretty much says another naive collection dump

Go get the other denominations! you might be able to build complete proof sets!

Wow thats pretty sweet!!! And a piece of silver too! Very nice. The 69 silver is a proof as well?

I have only ever found 1 proof as loose change from a teller, but all the rest of my proofs have come from box searching.

What year is the 50 peseta? If it's a "1957", the real date is not actually below the bust, but in one or two stars on the back of the coin, to the left of the eagle. The 1957 is a series date, kind of like the dates on our bills.
