Busy week!! Been wanting to post up my results, but been busy and lazy...

I picked up my orders a bit, trying to get some good results, but this week was nothing of the sort :P It was my worst week in about 2 months. But its all good, I can roll with the punches.

Results: (4) 90%, and (15) 40%. Out of the 90%, 2 were kens, one was a 1917 S walker, and the other was a 1946 Booker T Washington Memorial 90% half!!! The first one ive seen in person.

Only did some pics of the Booker T. As the other coins are mixed in with my other silver.

HH all!!

Oh yeah BTW, the coin was real real dirty and ugly, I cleaned it up myself with baking soda, water and a toothbrush. Looks so much nicer now!!

Not bad, BTW, Nice Booker T Washington commem! ;) I guess the early walker and commem made the week not suck as much. Good luck next week!
I've noticed my high volume weeks never seem to pay off and that I seem to get better boxes doing my smaller volume which totally goes against all odds and probrabilities lol

Nice find on the Booker T Washington commem. It is in very nice shape. What did the 17-S walker look like? Was the mintmark on the obverse? If so, don't mix it with your junk silver.

Yeah this is my second silver commemorative half dollar, first was a worn 1893 columbian exposition, about 6 months ago.

I shoulda taken some pics of it before I cleaned it, it was real ugly!! lol
