Today I picked up a $500 half bank wrapped box at one of my local banks.

I found 2 1976 S 40% silver proofs and 1 2004 S proof half in the same box

I thought they were pretty cool finds to find in the same box considering the low mintages

Wow,

You've really had some good luck lately!

Can't happen to a better guy. Keep it up.

The 2004 is .90 isn't it?

Thanks Eric:) Yeah it is 90%

I get my fair share of skunk boxes though :(

So far since I started sorting halves, I have found 5 1976 S 40% silver halves

Very cool finds. Did you check the rim or oh I guess you could just look at the mintmark and find a S on the on eh?

I got another 1976 S last night in a different box.

Maybe this will be my year for 1976 S 40% silver haha

I know this is strange but I got another 2 1976 S proofs in a $500 box I got today.

Dude, how much good karma did you build up in your past life?! :lol:

Terrific finds! I have never found a 1976 S proof, even though I find thousands of the regular 1976's. Wow! Keep it up!

Maybe someone turned in a roll of proof 1976 S 40% silver halves to the bank and when they were processed they got distributed to many different boxes??? I won't complain though :-)
