Had an awesome score this week in my boxes! We've only ever found one modern silver proof over the past 2+ years, a 2000-S. This week, we found two more! In separate boxes nonetheless.

We scored a 2011-S silver proof as well as a 2012-S silver proof, the key date modern silver proof!! Unreal that we were able to find one of these in circulation. The mintage for this coin is only 395,443 pieces, the lowest mintage of the Kennedy half series. Compare that to the other semi-key that we're probably all familiar with, the 1970-D with a mintage of 2,150,000.

Even in impaired condition this one goes for $65-$70! We've found a lot unusual things CRHing but this is our first key date and most valuable single coin we've found thus far.

Congrats!! Silver proofs are always fun to find. I've only found one modern 90% silver kennedy proof in 6 years of hunting. Hope the luck continues!

Congrats on the great finds! I am not a member of the 2012S silver proof club, but I have found 2 silver proofs since I started this crazy hobby. One was a 2000S Silver Proof (they minted only 965,421) and the other was a 2007S Silver Proof (they minted 875,050). Both were in fantastic shape. Things like that keep me going through the drudgery of the skunk boxes. Enjoy...Brad
