$250 in halves produced 2 40% and a 71s

[BeerBelly]

I went out looking for headphones for the tesoro, and stopped at a few banks along the way. I stopped at 3 different banks looking for loose halves as well as an additional source for ordering boxes. The first bank had 2 loose halves, and wouldn't order any boxes, regardless of whether I had an acount or not. The second bank was a no and a no. The third bank said they would order a box for me, and had $250 in rolls. I took the rolls, and ended up with a 1968d a 1966 and a 1971s (clad). I guess thats a proof? It was really shiny, and the edge seemed wider than a normal half. Slim pickings, but I guess 2 40's is better than no 40's!

Nice finds! Both on banks and silver .

The 71s is a proof from what I understand. Be gentle with it, as it is ideally supposed to be in crisp perfect condition, and never touched.

Nice job on the proof. I love finding them.

Congrats on your proof!!! I just got my first Clad Proof today. When I CRH I first look at the sides then check all of the dates. I first saw the extra thick edge and thought it was a forign coin so I pulled it out and was suprised to find mi first proof. I had no idea that they were thicker.
