#33 was very, very.........

[thurmownator]

...........good to me.


as in Fed box of halves for the year #33.

It produced:

37p (that I didn't have yet !)
60d
61p (that I didn't have yet !)
64p
65x4
66x4
67x12
68dx6
69dx2
81 proof
05p
83p (gold plated w/ the "60 - 80" stamped on it).

for a terrific 35 keepers !





But wait, there's more. That was just the "front nine" of this 5x5x2 box.

The bottom half yielded:

59d
64px3
64dx2
65x3
66x11
67x5
68dx9
69dx2
05p


for an incredible 37 more keepers; a box total of 72 or a 7.2% keeper rate !! (on a Fed box no less)



Box #34 kept the "universal average" balanced, I guess, as it only produced three CuNi keepers (87 proof, 96 proof and an 02p)


Still, 75 keepers from two Fed boxes is tremendous.

Congrats on the big silver find! Geez I'm happy when I find 2-3 40% in a box

What's up with you lately?
All this silver.
I think mine migrated into your territory.

Congrats!
