Hi All,

Earlier in the year I had posted about an amazing box I scored that had two 1970-D silvers in it. I thought for sure it was a TNet first... We had also scored a pair of Franklin proofs out of the box.

http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/coin-roll-hunting/450262-tnet-first-tonight-s-half-dollar-box.html

My lucky lady was the one who got to search that box, and now she was the lucky lady again to search the below one six months later. She is my lucky lady because she is ALWAYS the one to cross things off of our CRH list... She found our first Franklin, Walker, Barber, 1970D, proof Franklin, etc.

No enders in the box, but she began searching and came across a couple bright silver rims:

And this BLINDING WHITE rim:

The first two turned out again to both be 1970-D! Unbelievable that we would find two boxes this year that had two 1970-D each!

Not only that, but the blinding white rim was another first off of our CRH list, a 1969-S proof! Been searching a long time to finally find this.

But of course she wasn't done. She pulled another 1963 Franklin proof! Not just that, but another 1964 as well as five more 40%!

It would be hard for me to imagine that this box is not somehow related to the one we had back in February. Both with two 1970-D and Franklin proofs, just six months apart. Another exciting box for us!

Happy hunting everyone!
