Thanks, it was pretty exciting to pull him out, I knew I had a silver when I held the roll in my hand just didn't think it would be a Ben.

No silver for me today but a couple of different finds for me.

Thursday May 23

Brinks Halves Box- Skunk (Gold plated half)

Brinks Quarters Box- 2000-S South Carolina Clad Proof

Brinks Nickel Box- Dateless Buffalo, with a drilled hole, fun to find a buffalo, disappointed with the hole. Also one of the best 1940 Nickels I've seen, guessing it would be a high AU grade.
