no joy from Brinks today

two boxes, no silver. one odd foreign coin in place of a half.

Ah the land of the skunks... a smelly place indeed!

Care to post the foreign?

Yeah, it resembles some of those coins but I'm sure it's a reproduction of some kind. It still had casting flash in the hole and the symbols don't match any of what I can find.

You mean Brinks didn't toss in the one complimentary silver coin in each box. The nerve of them. Shoots that theory in the foot. Bummer.

I just finished my second batch of six brinks boxes. They were definately not as good as usual. Many were skunks, and in the end, I ended up with 13 40% and 3 90% (and a couple of proofs). This is still a decent haul. but not as good as what I typically get (usually twice the amount of silvers).

Oh well, at least I was not skunked!
