Today I did my usually friday order of 10 boxes of halfs, found some silver, 9 40%ers. Not the best but ill take it. I also found 3 clad commemorative in a box with 3 40%s. there was over 25 proofs in that box too, I just mark JFKs head gold and color the eagle on the reverse and toss them back.1994 D World Cup tournament half, 1995 S XXVI Olympiad (basketball) half, 1995 S civil war battlefield preservation half. Ipad takes crap pictures.

Why do you mark up the proofs? Some people save those.

Why would you mark the proofs? I'd pay you .75 each for them.. (No mods I am not trying to buy)

Marking coins is a personal preference. Marking coins that others collect is pretty offensive to some, myself included.

That civil war coin is worth some bucks....

Very nice! Over ten years of CRH and I still don't have even a clad commemorative.

Congrats

How many are you looking for? I've been tossing them back lately myself. Send me a PM if you want some. Also agree that marking up the proofs not the way to go. Marking up the other junk coins in there doesn't bother me but the proofs are collectible by some. Some people even collect the NIFC coins but they aren't so rare around my part of the country.
