Forgotten Bank (Part II) & A Box......

Well I went back to my forgotten bank that I mentioned yesterday and picked up 90 rolls (still 30 rolls in there). I didn't have time to run to my main bank to get more cash and get there and back to work on my lunch break. I pulled 38 silver coins and again today a Walker (bad shape) and a Franklin. I also kept one that is damaged but I don't know if it is from the mint or just damaged in circulation. I'll get those last 30 rolls tomorrow.
Lunch Total:
2-90% (1-1940 Walker & 1-1962-D Franklin)
3-65's
4-66's
15-76's
8-68's
6-69's
38 Total Keepers

I also picked up two boxes that came in and just finished checking the first one. It was a real good box. It yielded a total of 52 keepers including a Franklin, a proof and my first commemorative (George Washington). I'll check the 2nd one later this evening.
Box Totals:
3-90% (2-64, 1-1957-D Franklin)
2-65's
9-66's
16-67's
13-68's
7-69's
1-Washington Commemorative
1-1980-S Proof
52 Total Keepers

90 Keepers Grand Total (Lunch & Box)

Hi Lejeuene,
Congrats on all that silver.
Are the bicentenials worth money?

That messed up Kennedy looks like a drop of acid was put on the back and ate its way through to the front.

I have one of those Washington silvers as well. Still in the case. I got it for christmas as a kid and remember thinking it would be worth SO much money when I grew up. Alas, it is actually worth less now than what my parents paid for it. Oh well, at least it is a very nice looking coin.

Congrats on all that silver!

Good lord that Walker has seen a lot of "activity". LOL Love the Washington commemorative halve! Congratulations on another AWSOME silver day!

Nice finds, as usual for you! I like the George, and poor Kennedy looks like he was shot in the head!

As usual, awesome totals!! That 71 is definitely post mint damage. Someone holed it then hammered the hole shut. I am still waiting to find my first GW commem. Congrats!

Great finds LJ; especially on that GW commemorative ! They were issued in 1982 (as you know) for the 250th anniversary of Washington's birth. Should be 40% as well. It was the 1986 Statue of Liberty commemorative half (that I found in a roll in January) that was the first cupro-nickel commemorative half.

Early kudos on reaching 2K silver. (would've had it sooner had not TxTim raided some of your banks )

The 2nd box produced 1-90 Kennedy and 3-40%...another box with no date on it or any kind of stamping.

Thanks Thurm - According to the Red Book this commemorative is 90%, but I have also heard the Red Book has many errors too.

Hi Lejeuene,

The clad (11.34 grams) bicentennials aren't worth keeping. They do have some silver clad (11.50 grams) that weighs a tad more than the clad....I personally don't give them a 2nd look. I guess you would have to weigh them to distinguish the two. Obviously the proofs ("S" mintmarks) are definitely worth keeping. Good luck.

I don't have my Red Book with me, and you may be right about the silver content.

Regardless, all commemorative halves (IMHO) are keepers; as they were minted in such low numbers; relative to their general circulation counterparts.
