A Blast From The Past…..post yours

I’ve been seeing a lot of skunk posts. Is the silver gone? I think not. Although it is still hit and miss, everyone has one or more “dream” finds. Lets post our “Blast From The Past” dream finds. I’ll start with ONE of mine. Please post yours one at a time so we can keep history alive here.

Re: A Blast From The Past…..post yours

The Date: February 1, 2008
Box Number: 118
The Stats: 356 -40% Kennedy halves, 1 lonely 1964 half dollar.

Comments:
As you can see from the pics, there was lots of silver showing when I opened the box. Many rolls had a 40 on both ends. Some rolls had as many as 15 40's per roll. Some rolls had a regular clad on each end but where still loaded on the inside with silver.

The Conclusion:
From box 118 to box 130 I found 6 boxes from this "40's" dump. Here is the total of 40's per box:

Box 118. 356 - 40's
Box 119. 312- 40's
Box 120. 128 - 40's
Box 121. 211 - 40's
Box 125. 155 - 40's
Box 130. 304 - 40's

(Note: Box 118 and 119 were opened on the same day.)

Then that silver vein gave out. The funny thing is there were no Walkers or Ben's in that bunch and only one 1964 and 2 proof's. It was fun while it lasted.

I remember when Steve (RIP) posted about this. I sent him a PM congradulating him and picking his brain. He said these were not the best- one box was "over" half silver. Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. HH Mark
