[QUOTE="zerocd, post: 538467, member: 16605"]I just realized I got a 1916 Walker in that batch. Wish it was BU but it is VG at minimum. Oh boy, can't wait for the next batch. I am pretty sure that my dump bank coins are not circling back. I can tell the coins I get from my main supply bank are from the same pile and I imagine that I am getting deeper into the stack to older coins that have not seen daylight in a long time. I have found that if I order 3-4 boxes at a time, that if I get a hot box, one or more of the other boxes will have silver too. I got all the silver from the last batch from two of the three boxes. Both had Walkers and Franklins. I found another chrome plated 1973 plus I was amazed to find two gold plated 1967 Kennedy's. Previous recent finds of interest: Halves that have been refinished, one has a pretty matte surface, nicely done. I find clads that show mostly copper surface, maybe the surface was removed with acid. Clad surface peeling. Classic garbage disposal marks. Drilled holes. A 1916 English penny, my guide says they are worth a couple pounds so I guess i didn't get cheated. One side of the half abraded until the face was gone. Names, dates, letters and numbers inscribed on the coin. Brilliant coins with proof or mint set luster that have deep sctatches. Lots of fun. Good luck to all! 0CD I also have found three clad halves, either 92 or 94 that had double stamped obverse errors mostly visible on the front of the face.[/QUOTE]
