Hey everybody ! Spent the day in a nearby town picking up halves (3 k worth ) , this time
in boxes - my last trip here provided 3x 1 k in bags, and good bags they were ! lots of Bens,
Kens , and a couple of Walking Liberty halves . Well today could not have been more different
Normally my routine would be to hit the bank after lunch , pack the bags or boxes into the car
and spend the next few hours metal detecting , today I decided to knock down a couple of
the boxes before I headed back to my home town of Santa Fe, because there is a great casino
that I can dump $ 1500. at a whack - on the way back , so I search a couple boxes - SKUNK-
I go metal detecting , score a 1964 D Washington (silver - Oh Yeah !) a second later I dig
my first war nickel ! the exclamation point here is because in two and a half years of detecting
I haven't been able to score one of these , also dug a couple wheaties today. I get home
pour myself an adult beverage and knock down the rest of the boxes of halves . Out of 6
boxes : total skunk with the exception of box # 5 - I see a large bold white rim - 1995-s
proof Kennedy 90 %. It lists in the redbook as the second rarest in the proof silver series,
and lists an $80.00 value -- Not bad ! Although a circulated proof is by definition no longer
a proof condition coin, Since the mintage is a low 650,000- maybe this thing is still better
than melt ? What say you ? Thanks ! Argentium.
