I got a couple of boxes from my usual bank. The first box was blase, got 3 40%. The next box was much better, 9 90% (45D walker, 52D benji(2), 52S benji and 5 64 Kennedys), 22 40%, 6 regular proofs (73S, 74S, 80S, 81S, 82S and 83S) and 1 86S commemerative proof. Been at least 2 to 3 years since I have found a commemerative proof. HCRH all.

Great finds, especially that 86s comm. I actually pulled one out of a loose roll in January. It's cupro-nickel, but still a very nice find.

Again, congrats !

is that coin also silver?

FROM TWO POSTS ABOVE "It's cupro-nickel, but still a very nice find."

In fact, it was the first commemorative half to NOT be silver. Still a good looking coin though.

For those who might not know, its the flash that makes it look golden. In reality they are chrome looking just like other clad proofs.

You mean I am not the only fool who was upset 'cause I couldn't find a gold half? Bongo
