But he musta been tired from the heavy load he dropped off last week! :laughing::laughing: So he did stop by, got his milk and cookies left by the Queen, and left off a bit more silver and other items to cheer up KT! :D:D

The first 2 boxes just contained some non-keeper NIFCs and the 3rd box essentially the same but there were 2 Au-plated Kens in it also. Box 4 got KT's attention with 2 40% Ag Kens, 1 Proof and 1 dirty black 87. Finally box 5 finished off with another 1 40% Ag Ken, and of course an additional load of NIFCs, non-keepers.

The total came to 3 40% Ag Kens, 42 NIFCs (no keepers), 1 Proof, 1 87 Ken, 2 Au-plated Kens, and one orange sticker Ken, which KT wrote His Royal Initials on and dumped back into the bag. All the photos this week are decent, except the KT sticker is out of focus, but when KT realized that, it had already been dumped at the bank. Also the 87 was absolutely filty, and KT first tried cleaning it with acetone...no effect at all....then with silver cleaner...again no effect. So it went under the dremel wire brush. The mask effect is due to the wire wheel running in a different direction on that part of the coin...it still is not a good coin, but it was trash before cleaning.

Plus the machine had something for KT this morning. After dumping all the coins, KT was hearing a slight scraping sound as the machine ran. When it went off, KT could see a tiny ring on something in the machine...pushed down on the foam plate and pulled it out...appears to be a small silver cross, tho it has no markings. Examination under the loupe shows the wear spots and it is not plated. KT really doubts it is silver, but it does remind KT of why the Baby Jesus was born among us all. So KT is keeping it! :D

A Merry Christmas to All and good mding and crhing over the Holidays!

KT hopes you enjoy the pics.

Nice finds KT! Great to see that you are keeping the streak alive and that in the midst of it all you got a great reminder of what should be our focus this time of year. Congrats.
