First ever ender is a Bender

[norcalsteve]

Only the second time I ordered a full box of halves from the bank. Just opened the box and this was staring up at me. Hopefully this is a good sign for the rest of the box. Enders really do exist. I'm 56 yo and my wife thinks im crazy getting excited over this.

Congrats on finding your first Bender! Esp considering its only your second box. I've only ever found one Bender myself (just a couple of months ago) and I'm currently searching my 120th box for the year. Good luck with the rest of the box.

H$H!

Congratulations, I smiled thinking how excited you must have been. Now don't think this happens all the time, cause I'm living proof it does not, but when it does you keep thinking maybe the next box will have another Bender!! Thanks for posting

Congrats on the nice box. If you have a scale that reads grams, weigh the 65. The 40% silver weighs 11.5 grams. Some of the 65s were made from 90% blanks which weights 12.5 grams & are error coins. Also some 66 coins are missing the designer initials (FG) on the back. They are also error coins & you need to watch out for them.

Thanks Gary. I knew about the 66 coins but did not know about the 65's. I weighed all my 65's the only one that was not 11.5 weighed in at 11.7
