[QUOTE="Fifty, post: 1123113, member: 24555"]Excerpt from an e-mail sent to a buddy of mine. [SIZE=2][COLOR=#808000][SIZE=2][COLOR=#808000]With Silver right at $36 no fool is probably going to turn any more silver halves in (or so I thought) and searching boxes is probably fruitless. I did get this one lucky roll today that was all silver but it wasn't just any silver, it was all silver proofs. Someone must have raided a collection. I have never seen a silver proof before up close (I have some but they are in sealed mint cases and it would ruin the value open them). Someone must have busted up some sets. Teller at this SunTrust on 141 said I guy had just brought them in. As I am sitting here typing this I am realizing how stupid I was.

I wrote down the weights of clads, 40% proofs, and 90% proofs respectively and then checked them against official published weights. They were right on so I know they are real. I got (all proof) 1964 1968 1969 1970 1992 1993 1994 1995 1996 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2009 [/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][/QUOTE]
