Default Pulling a rabbit outta a hat! HA HA

This weeks CRH hunt was pretty discouraging...ran through 4 and 4/5ths boxes without a silver and only one gold plated Ken along with a pile of NIFCs....not boring ya with a pic of the NIFCs this week! HA HA

But in the last 100 bucks of the hunt, well KT was surprized...out came two 68 Kens! Really filthy they were so they were cleaned before the pic this week...also the goldy at the top of the image....

At least the late 2 silvers kept the entire hunt from being a total skunk! Was pretty close to thinking it was gonna be when the first one showed up and was very happy when the second one appeared....it was a slow hunt for KT, but looking back at the past several weeks of hunts...His Majesty was due for a lean run.

Enjoy the pic!

KT would love to find a local bank that would sell him coin machine bags, but no such luck so far!!

Unfortunately all 40% halves are clad silver over copper alloy so their edges look pretty much like normal clad. KT will post a pic of a 68 D's edge so you can see for yourself when I get my home computer straightened out...hopefully this evening! Tried to do it this morning and have wound up having to run a restore point on it cause it would not start up properly.

Don't ya just love Microsoft junk! Got a problem with the new wireless router that Prince John installed, it is not very compatible with Windows Vista! What a mess! Typing this from my office puter.

Here's the pic finally!

Dang.....I went through $640 worth of halves recently and mostly just edge-checked them!

I have one 1967 half and it has a solid silver edge...I would definitely like to see yours.
