We picked up our 2 boxes today and my son chose which one he got to search. There was no apparent difference between the 2 but I should have known it was his day. My box had a whopping 2003-d half dollar. The skunk smell is still exuding from what little hair I have left.
I taught my son to check both sides of the rolls before he opens them because it would make a cool picture to have a silver half still in a sealed roll. He starts laughing and I thought he was kidding again. That was until he showed me a beautiful 1948 Franklin half right there on the end of the roll. He is still looking at the roll ends and says "what the heck?" I am like OK, lets see. He proceeds to show me the eagle on the back of a WL half. Then he finds a 1967 on a roll end. Wouldn't you know there was only one silver coin in his box that wasn't on the end of a roll. Of course it was a SEMI-KEY 1933-s WL half! Only 4 silver, but 3 true beauties. He also had 2 2006-p halves to throw in a few modern finds.
It was fun seeing him make the finds and savor the moment. He also likes metal detecting so we have a blast treasure hunting together. He is the oldest of 5 kids so the others are showing interest but lacking some of the skill and patience for the long term grind of the hobby, but it will come. Thanks for looking...Ryan
