got a commemorative today

[markmopar]

it's just an '86 Statue of Liberty Ellis Island Commemorative Half, but still, it's neat.

My boxes have been much less productive lately. More than halfs have been skunks, closer to two-thirds.

Heck I'd go for one of those. I'm lucky to get a couple 40's anymore.

Strange...yesterday I found my 2nd commemorative, a 1986S Ellis Island comm. My first was the 86D Ellis Island. They definitely seem to be the most frequent commemorative to show up in boxes.

Cool, are they silver or clad comm's.

 

[Goes4ever]

cool that was my first one found too

They are clad. Still it's a nice design.

 

[treasurefiend]

Thats cool, I would keep'um if I found them.
I was asking to see if you can find them by edge hunting, But I think G4E said something like he would of missed his if he was just rim hunting.

Def. a common commem. if not the most common, but I'd still be darn happy to get one! I'm still commem. less!

Grats on your find!

I edge search and then drop them from one hand into the palm of the other. That way anything I catch anything unusual-like this one!
My GF searches by date and hands me anything really nice or 'odd' looking.
