Today's bag. A lesson on edge hunting.....
Picked up my weekly bag of halves. I roll my dumps, as there are no customer use machines local. I try to roll as I go, but sometimes just want to go through them. Today was one of those days. I started pulling hand fulls, and in one got two PROOFS. It's not unusual to get a proof or two a bag, but two at once is a first for me. NEXT hand full netted an EF AU 41S Walker. She's a beaut. I finished checking the bag, and ended up with three more proofs. I also got a new Presidential dollar coin, five dimes, a nickel, and a zincoln. The usual scraps, I suppose. For you doubters, yes, you can pull proofs by edge checking. Even their edges look "proof-like." Thought I'd throw that out there, as I can already anticipate the nay-sayers.
Anyway, I get to rolling, and about $400 in, low and behold, there is a 62 Ben. Where did you come from? After all, I edge checked the whole bag, and pulled a few proofs along the way. The rim is as dirty as can be, that's why. I guess I'm not as good as I thought I was.
For all you skunk killers, have faith. It's out there. My average is about 1 or 2 40s a bag. Or a skunk. Today was a fluke for me. Two 90s, and 5 proofs. I'm happy. Good hunting to all.
