Did the first box before going to bed (back to nights) and got:
1 very impaired 1976-S Proof (clad)
Doing the second box when I get home in the AM.
Update:
Did the second box and got:
1 1993-S Proof (clad) and
a blazing 1971-D.
Nothing special usually, we all get countless ones. This one caught my eye however because the while edge checking I noticed it looked like a proof. Thicker looking planchet, well spaced and divided reeds, etc. When I pulled it out though I saw that it was just a 1971-D. The fields are reflective though, like you see on proof-like graded Morgan dollars. I've come across many blazing white 71's thru 74's but none like this. You can actually read words if you hold it away from writing. Wish I had an operating camera right now, I'd post some picks.
Sadly was skunked on silver, which is weird cause these were the first skunk boxes in about two years. I have always pull at least 2-3 40%'s, and read the 20 plus skunk boxes others post about with sadness. I don't do near the volume though, which is why I don't see more silver and more skunks.
