A worthy box ..



I haven't found much recently worth posting about (aside from the neat error varieties I listed in the previous post), especially from my searches through boxes of halves. That all changed today though, in one box! I found a record number of silver halves including a 1961 Benjamin (shown in picture above to lower right of photo) - 28!. My previous best was 9 silvers from one box.

Total Finds:

(01) 1961 Benjamin Half Dollar(s) - 90% Silver - $5.97 in metal value each
(06) 1964 Kennedy Half Dollar(s) - 90% Silver - $5.97 in metal value each
(21) 1965-69 Kennedy Half Dollars(s) - 40% Silver - $2.44 in metal value each

Profit Calculation:

Box of (1000) half dollars - $500.00
Returned half dollars (972) - $486.00

Total Cost: $14.00
Total Value: $93.03

Profit: $79.03

Not bad, huh?
