Except WOW OH WOW OH WOW

And drumroll......its my very 1st silver proof a '76 bicentennial- wow awesome sauce
So after getting calmed down I open a couple more rolls and out pops this(ok tnet wont let me post any more pics) another bright shiny proof rim and wallah it another '76- no way ive never found a proof silver and now 2 '76 with in a few rolls-
So I open a few more rolls and out pops another 40% so that there just beats my best box (well with the 2 '76 proofs id say those beat my best box but thats 5 silver in 1 box)
Im down to the last 5 rolls and im thinking its over but sure enough out pops another bright shiny proof rim and yep another '76- holy mackerel- at this point im wishing there was more rolls in the box-
Down to the 3rd to last roll and BAMMMM
2 bright shiny proof rims and yes you guessed it both '76s
WHAT THE HECK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I AM FLIPPIN out- there cant be more in the last 2 rolls can there? No :(
But in total 3 40% and 5 yes 5 1976 bicentennial silver proofs all in 1 box
HOLY SCHEISSE
Ill see if i can get more pics to upload especially all the coins together
WAH- FREAKIN- HOO

Congrats, that's a great box for sure! :thumbsup:

I've been sorta lucky with silver proofs so far this year too.....2 '68S halves in my last box and a '76S silver proof Ike earlier this month. Just never know what you'll find with this hobby or where or when you'll find it.

Btw, Im glad to hear your finding some good boxes this year....a box like this kinda helps make up for those long skunk streaks you've had. :)

H$H!

8 silvers in a box with the majority being bicentennial proofs, I'd say you struck a home run!

Congrats! You obviously stumbled into a little collection dump. Would be great if you could get the next box off that pallet!
