Not a bad first try

[Jack_MIghtyheart]

I've been reading about CRHing on this forum for a while now, and I finally decided I wanted to try it. WOW it was fun. I started small, and only got $80 worth of halves from the bank. Took them home, opened them up, and got some silver and a proof on my first try! From just 8 Brinks rolls, I got

1 40%
1 78 Proof
1 1947 D Booker T. Washington commemerative half (silver!)

So, all in all, I'm hooked. The excitement is great!

Nice score on the commemorative! I dream of finding one of those one day.

If your commemorative is in good shape, it might be worth some serious $$$ as per the following site: http://www.pcgs.com/prices/PriceGuideDetail.aspx?c=789

Happy hunting!

Awesome. It's not in bad shape, but I'll have to have it checked out by someone who knows more about coins than I do.

Wow! a Booker T on your first outing..... You Da Man...... Congratulations.

I got 1 about 10 months ago and at this point have searched over 2.5 million Halves.

Go back and buy up the rest of what they got....
