Rare Lincoln/Illinois Commemorative found!

[krakatoa]

So, things have been pretty slow around here recently. Lots and lots of skunks and a few banks unwilling to take my dumps anymore. So I'm driving with the fam and we pick up an order. We open the box and see lots of markings on them. Looks like we got a bunch of someone's dumps in this box. But then I notice a silver on top too and open that and see a few more silvers. This ends up being a decent box-- about 10 40%, 5 64's, 7 Ben Franklin's and our first commemorative-- a beautiful 1918 Lincoln/Illinois commemorative half. Apparently only around 100,000 minted, so all in all, that is my best half dollar yet. Enjoy the pix.--
