Proofs yes, Silver Not much

[MIhunter]

So far this week I have opened 2 brinks boxes of halves and done a little bit of smurfing (my term, driving up to banks to get loose and cwr usually getting less than $20 in halves).

1st Box
1988 S
NIFC x1

2nd Box
2004 S x 2 (CuNi)
2009 S (CuNi)
2010 S (CuNi)
NIFC x 3

Loose and CWR: $60
1967 x2
1968D x1

My kids love finding proofs and we needed these for our collection!

wow that 2010 S find is pretty cool. Most people rarely if ever find a 2010-2011, and you found one with an S. Was the 1988 S a silver?

 

[MIhunter]

No
US mint starting making annual silver proofs in 1992.

had a box a few weeks ago that had at least 25 proofs in them. All of them were marked with an X by either a black sharpie or magic marker. I just dumped them back into the wild. Shame they were all defaced.

Acetone probably would've removed the marks.
