^%$*^%(*&(!@!!!!!! I had to spend $15 on my box!!!!!!

Well?!
I got 30 keepers! So sue me! :P ;D

Here is the run-down. I was quite surprised....

I got a few 40% halves, then I looked at the end of a roll, and saw a mirrored eagle staring back at me....it was the reverse of a 2006-S Proof!
Then a few minutes later I opened one roll and I saw a completely smooth silver coin. Ignorant ol' me, I said half-aloud "Hey...a slot-machine half!". Then I looked at it and it was a 1942 Walker! And in the same roll I found my 1954 Benjamin (My first woohoo!) AND to top it off I found a 1965 40% Kennedy!

I never went more than 2 or 3 rolls without finding something. Several times I found more than one keeper in a roll....once finding 4 in one roll.

Final tallies for this box:

Standing Liberty Halves: 1937, 1942, 1943-D (2 of them), and a 1944
Mr. Ben Franklin M.A., B.A. Phd., NBC, LSD ABC, etc.: 1954, 1960-D
Kennedy Halves:

1964 - 3

1965-1968 - 16

Proofs: 1989-S, 1992-S, 1997-S, 2006-S.

Nice Haul! No I am not yet a 'God of Silver', but maybe a 'Sultan of Silver' or some kinda minor-demigod or something lol.....

So here are the detail pix:

Walkers & Bennies & Proofs, oh my!

The Silver Kennedys....

I got a variety of bizarre and beatup Kennedys before I decided to set the ones I was finding aside and take a photo of them as well....these are the last 6 I found:

The best of the 5 Walkers: 1943-D Obverse

1943-D Reverse:

And last but not least, I wonder if this is an error. First a pic of a standard Kennedy. Note the mint mark is just under his neck.

And here is a Philly Half I discovered where the mint mark is in between the 9 & the 8. I don't recall ever seeing a low-rider mint mark like this before. Is it worth anything more than face value?

That is it for this week. I hope it makes up for not posting pics of my 40%'ers I got last week.

Thanks for reading this long-winded rubbish and happy hunting!
;D

Very nice! :D

None of your pictures are showing up for me...all are broken links. Hope it's just me.
 

Re: ^%$*^%(*&(!@!!!!!! I had to spend $15 on my box!!!!!!

For some reason the pics don't show up for me in Firefox on my computer at work.

But they showed up for me in Firefox at home last night, and they are showing up for me in Internet Explorer here at work right now also.

I am mystified.

I just need to attach the pics to my message instead of posting pics hosted on an image-hosting site.

Awesome box !

Same here, no pictures showing BUT, if I copy the url's from your picture details, and
direct paste them into my address bar, they show.

So, the host you have them in is not letting you hyperlink your photos to other websites...
I think.

Again though, great finds ! Thanks for all the pictures.
