results of 2 boxes this week and a first (no Ag)

[hokiemojo]

My first box had about 800 1994's, 100 2000's and 100 miscelaneous. no keepers, not even NIFC.

Second box had a keeper for me. My first Balboa 1/2. It was a 1993, so not AG, but I thought it was cool. I also found a bicentenial that was 1/2 black, but I swear it looks silver. It is really hard to read the mintmark, but I don't think it is an S, so I don't think it can be AG. I'm soaking it in vinegar/salt with a piece of foil. I hope it works, but i suspect it was copper. i wish i had a scale, but don't.

Oh well, at least it wasn't two boxes of rewraps or all the same year. Next week is my last couple boxes before another 2 month hiatus. Hopefully I'll end the year on a high note.

The sound test will never fail you Hokie, drop one of your Silvers and then the suspected silver and the sound will be totally different. I keep all my Balboa havles too, I just think they're cool. Good luck with the last 2 boxes! Merry Christmas! Maverick.

oh, and i almost forgot... one roll had 20 halves, but also a quarter and dime stuck together (seemed like soda). so that was a free $0.35. That was another first... haha.

Merry Christmas to you too.
