Hey folks I recently found a 40% silver half dollar that I missed edge checking. Can you guess which coin in this roll is silver?
Have fun and good luck.

sorry for the terrible quslity picture. I don't know why it was rotated either.
 
Yeah....third from top. Did you
Catch it from a routine sound check or accidental sound check when dropping your searched roll into a container?
 
I caught it by a routine sound check
 
Hey Buff, I love this game! I'm going with the 3rd from the top too. HH, Maverick.
 
Third from the top.

Its rotated because you are taking a pic like your texting, and not like taking a picture(sideways!)

3rd just seems like the obvious choice, I would def rim check it, but if its not the 3rd down, im going to guess 7th down.

HH
 
So 3rd from top is the consensus and most obvious in that stack
If its not id say 4th from bottom

-------------------------------------
just keep stacking, just keep stacking, stacking stacking stacking
 
I'll update you all in a few hours to give others a chance to guess.
Thanks for participating!
In natural light, all the edges look alike, this image was taken with flash photography.
 
Third from the top!
 
I'd have to guess third from the top too, even though it doesn't really look like a silver edge, just a little different from the rest. So whats with the sharpie Buff? I suppose thats your coin marking sharpie huh? lol I still haven't found one of your marked coins yet, but it may not be too much longer before I do. :)

you're all right... I had the flash on my camera and under natural light, it looked like a copper coin, I couldn't get a good picture without the flash though... thanks for participating!!
3rd from top OR 18th from bottom :) 1965 silver.

That's a little harder, 12 from the left?
 
9th from the right? But you're right, whichever one it is it isn't easy to spot from just edge checking. My last silver half was kind of a surprise to me too. Not just because it was the only silver I found in my last 8 boxes but because it had a greenish mildew looking edge that looked like many other green edge clad coins in the same box so I was rather surprised when I took a closer look at it. And it sure was nice finding at least one silver after more than 6,700 of only clad mwr halves.
 
If I was rim checking, I might glance at 8th, 9th, and 12th from the left, but nothing definitive with the flash off.

I'm guessing 9th.
