Those look like Brinks wrappers....Same as Mountainman's HUGE box last week. I have given up on Brinks. I may have to order me a couple boxes.

Are 1955's hard to get?
See that is a reasonable question. Yes they are hard to get. Only 2,876,381 were minted. Compared to an average of about 35 million for each of the other years. (that is averaging all the years together)

Great find ! Seems like boxes in some parts of the country are giving up more 90's than 40's. Last month when I bought some boxes I had one like that but with a lot less keepers.

He'll probally end up on a coin even if ends up being the worst resident of the White House we have ever had. Notice I said resident and not President.
