Folks,
This four boxes of Halves was a good start for the new year. I wish each of you the very best in 2011, and hope to enjoy the numbers and the pictures below.

This week gave up a good mix of 90% and 40% coins -- 8x 90% and 17x 40%. So it comes out to just over 5.4 troy ounces of silver. I was able to pull a good mix of keepers -- Walker's, Franklin's, and Mints in addition to the 90% and 40% Kennedy Halves. Unfortunately no slots in my collection book filled since these were all duplicates of coins I already had. Three of the four boxes had enders and one of the enders was the reverse of a Walker. From the way the paper lay on the coin and the view of the eagle, I thought I had a Stone Mountain for an ender. :tongue3: That had me going till I cracked the roll open and got a better look. ::) Not complaining though! :laughing7:

The breakdown followed by pics.

Box 1: 3x 90% (a 1942 Walker, two 1964 Kennedy's); and 5x 40% (1x 1965, 1x 1967, 2x 1968-D, and 1x 1970-S). One of the 1968-D's was an ender in this box.

Box 2: 1x 90% (a 1943 Walker); and 3x 40% (1x 1966, 1x 1967, and 1x 1969-D). This box also gave up two clad S-Mint coins, a 1971 and a 1985. I also got a 1987-P NIFC from this box.
(I keep all S-Mints, and 1987's. I also keep a roll of each NIFC year coins. After I get a full roll, I generally cull the newer NIFC's and spend them so others can see these pretty coins in circulation.)

Box 3: 1x 90% (a 1951 Franklin); and 4x 40% (all 1967's).

Box 4: 3x 90% (a 1962-D Franklin, and 2x 1964 Kennedy's); and 5x 40% (1x 1965, 2x 1967, 1x 1968-D, and 1x 1969-D). The 1965 was an ender on this box.

Happy hunting.
Steve

Very nice pics Steve. Nice haul plus a 1970s to boot. :hello2:

HSH,
apush :read2:
 
Steve,
Great haul. Check the reverse of the 1951 Ben to see if it's a D mint and if it's an RPM type double die. I got one last week. Worth more money. Again...great score and I'm very happy for you. It's out there to find.
