In case my loyal subjects did not note it, or were too kind to mention it, KT had a brain fart about the months last week! 
Anyway, His Majesty had a rip roaring start to October this week!
Box 1 - 3 40%, I NIFC
Box 2 - 1 40%, 3 NIFCs, 1 proof, 1 87 Ken
Box 3 - 2 40%, 1 NIFC
Box 4 - 7 40%
Box 5 - 1 40%, 8 NIFCs, 2 proofs, 1 87 Ken, 1 WWII Comm. Proof
Total - 14 40%, 13 NIFCs, 3 Proofs, 2 87 Kens, 1 WWII Comm. Proof
KT had some strange stuff going on in these boxes...some boxes had several coins coated with very sticky stuff...He did not taste it but it was like Karo syrup which washed off easily with hot water...Also, many of the 40%ers look like they were either dug or were buried with some iron nails for awhile....red rusty...they were hard to read the dates so KT had to clean that part of the coin with His Royal Dremel Mototool with a small wire brush. The Queen requested that they not be cleaned at all, just to show their odd history, but KT wanted to confirm the dates. At least this was the first double digit silver recovery in quite awhile for KT! So He is very happy with the result.
The first pic shows the clean 40%er Kens that were recovered and the 2nd image shows the red rusty ones. Pic 3 shows the NIFCs, Pic 4 the proofs and the cool Commemorative Proof. KT really likes it, tho it is clad. Finally the last image shows the 2 87 Kens, both in nice condition!
Enjoy!
