I've been on a five box skunk streak, but it finally ended, and it ended with something I've been looking for!

The totals:

14 40%

4 90% Kennedys

2 walkers!! (I've been searching for a while)

2 clad proofs in great shape

A 1970 Bermuda 50 piece, a 1975 republique of Franciase 5 francs, and a flattened quarter.

Isn't it interesting how much the 5 franc piece looks like the Walking Liberty? Nice finds!

I found the 5 Francs before I found the walkers. I thought I finally found one, but was disappointed when it wasn't, and then boom! Two walkers :hello2:

When I saw the Bermuda coin, my heart nearly jumped out of its pericardial sack because I thought I found British silver:laughing9:

:icon_thumleft: Nice way to get rid of pepe! I love it when the skunk repellent finally works. Couldn't read the dates of the 40%s. If any of them are 65 weight them as some 90% blanks were used instead of 40% blanks that year. The 90% will weigh 12.5 grams while the 40% will weigh 11.5 grams. The 90% is a error coin. Also in 1966 some coins were released missing the designer intitals (FG) on the reverse between the tail feathers & wing on the right side. That's also a error coin.

All of the 65's weighed 11.5 grams, and the 66's had the initials on them. Thanks for the tip!
