Hey all - it has been quite a while since I had much worth posting. However, today yielded a first for me, a 1904 Barber Half Dollar. I also had a good couple of boxes. Out of the last 8 boxes, 5 were complete skunks; 1 had 12 Franklins; 1 had 8 Franklins and a 1941 Walker; and the last box was my first-time Barber (1904). The Barber is not in the best shape, but a hell of a lot better shape than I will be at 113 years old. Thanks for looking...Brad 20 Franklins.jpg Barber 1904.jpg Walker 1941.jpg

Congrats on the Barber! Twenty 90% silvers out of 8 boxes is a very good average these days. Out of curiosity, did you find any 40% silver?

Nope. not a single 40. Very odd, but I'm not complaining!!
