<p>[QUOTE="Club128, post: 1645978, member: 42697"]After a fairly good run of consistent silver in halves boxes (roughly two per box for the last 5 boxes), including my first two Walkers ('43 and '46), I got skunked today on two boxes.

The interesting thing is both the obverse and the reverse look to have a matte-type finish. Also, on the obverse, the "We Trust" looks smeared.
