It has been a long time since I last posted---life has been in the way. However I still have looked through a fair number of half dollar boxes in the last year. I average two every other week. The vast majority have been skunks, and that is actually taking away from actual, walking-on-the-ground skunks. A few have had one or two 40% and occasionally I would get a 90%, but lately things have been pretty poor. Today I picked up my usual two boxes and had a bit of a shock. No silver (not a shock), but, in one of the boxes, 74 clad proofs! Most of them are really nice, but there were a couple of clunkers. Here they are: 1971s - 4 1972s - 3 1973s - 5 1974s - 6 1976s - 4 1977s - 11 1978s - 3 1979s - 5 1982s - 2 1984s - 1 1992s - 4 1993s - 2 2000s - 5 2002s - 6 2004s - 4 2005s - 8 2007s - 1 Some of you may recall a post from a while back (over a year ago) where I had a couple similar boxes, but not quite as many proofs.
Curious, isn't it? There was a near complete lack of 80's and 90's. I wonder if they were sorted into a different Loomis box. Would have been nice if there were a 71-s doubled die or 79-s or 81-s type ll's. However, I'll not complain too much.
