1949 Franklin & update

[Twitch]

Picked up my weekly two boxes today. Box 1 had a '64 and a 40%er. Box 2 had an '80-S obverse ender. Found 5 silvers in the box. One roll had a '64 and 3x40%ers in it. Only found a single silver in the rest of the box but it was a really nice (XF+) 1949 Franklin. Definitely needed that one for the CRH collection. YTD I'm also up to 362 silvers, only 3 short of annual goal. Going to hunt New Jersey next week and try to squeeze 3 silvers out of it.

Well done ! Nice to see a high grade Franklin or Walker , the 80-s is an impaired silver proof isn't it ?

Unfortunately it's heavy on the impaired, light on the silver.

I'm fairly sure that the 80-S is a 90 percent silver coin - so while it may be heavily impaired (as a proof ) , it is heavy silver !

No silver proofs until 1992.

Thank's for setting me straight on the silver proofs e7 ! I've only found a few over many years CRH , but when you see that blazing white rim it is something to behold !

Dumped at 3 banks today and pulled 4 40%ers, a nearly slick silver Washington and 2 wheaties from the rejects trays to get me over 365 silvers for the year.
