2 1976 S proof halves & 2004 S silver proof half in one box

Postby Pennysaved » Mon Jan 03, 2011 9:24 pm

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?
If I have the gift of prophesy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to move mountains but do not have love I am nothing. And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned but do not have love it profits me nothing.

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?

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!
When I die, I want to go like Grandpa did. He died in his sleep..... Not screaming and hollering like all the passengers in his car.

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 :-)
