It wasn't much but I pulled a 67, 69, and a gold plated 83 out of a box today! I also made a nice score from a teller tray. The vault teller at my pick-up bank asked me if I wanted any Ikes. I told her sure and ask how many. She said 33. She put them on the counter in 3 stacks of 11 and I handed her $40. While she was getting my change I was snagging a white rimmed one from the first stack. She looked up at me and smiled and said, "I thought you might like that one." It was an honest to God 40% 71s Ike. Now I know that not all s Ikes are silver (I have a couple non-silver ones), but this one is. Looks, magnet, and sound test all passed. My first wild silver Ike!

The pic is kind of blurry because I was in a hurry, but here it is anyway.

The rim of the ike will tell you the true story.

Or the weight with a scale to 1/10 of a gram
