A rare 40%er and 95% of a 90%er

[jamesandsons]

The first 4 of my 5 boxes of halves this week were skunks. In the last box, I got 2 40%ers. One of them is one I didn't think I'd ever see, or at least not for a long time:



It's in really bright, nice shape. From what I've heard, this is a pretty rare CRH find, no?

I also got my 2nd 90%er, my first 1964. Well, most of one, anyway:



Now that's what I call junk silver. I'll take it though! Just glad to break the drought after 7 straight skunk boxes in my very short career in halves.

Nice finds! I found my first 70 just this week as well. Not nearly as nice as yours, though.

Score!

Nice score on the '70.
Take it to the LCS, you might just be able to trade for an ASE (or better).

Sweet find on the 1970 still waiting for my first.

I think I'm probably going to keep it. It is really the only super-tough Kennedy to find by CRH, so I can easily put together an all-CRH Kennedy set if I hang on to it. Odds are I'll never find another one in a roll.

very nice on the 1970! three years hundreds of boxes and I've found only one. they are about as rare CRH as can be, I would even wager as rare as barbers. Too bad about the hole punched '64, it can complicate selling them!!!

My LCS has them on sale for lower premiums (they sell by weight anyway).

I just got the "95% of a 90%" reference... at first I thought you were refering to a foreign coin with a different silver ratio
