Been meaning to post these for quite a while but the holidays and life...you know how it is.
Sir Torque has had an exceptional streak of great fortune. It all started with offering refuge to a fair damsel from the clutches of a toxic and dishonorable rogue -- and it appears they may very well live happily ever after. That story has yet to be written. The great fortune continued with silver treasures never before witnessed by this unworthy knave, treasures I share with you today...
I accumulated many boxes of halves in late novenber and december, and they were not organized -- exact dates of delivery I cannot say, but the goodies speak for themselves!
Great box 1 had: 1 1987, 1 proof, 6 40%, 1 Benjamin, and... a 1913s Barber Half!!! Holy cow never thought I'd see one of these in a box!!!
But wait...it gets better...great box 2 held even more incredible stuff: 3 40%, 5 1964 Kennedys, 4 Benjamins, 2 Walkers, and... an 1893 Commemorative Half from the Columbian Exhibit aka World's Fair in Chicago 1892!!!!! I'd never heard of this coin, but learned that this 1892-1893 coin is the first ever US Commemorative coin issued! This coin also makes the box a 90% silver quadrality!!!! Holy cow!!!!
Next image shows those two great boxes and other fun stuff found in a few others -- more proofs, another 1987, two 1986 Commemoratives. Close up of a scratched proof, the mark of greedy, stupid rogues to be sure.
And if this wasn't enough, along came great box 3. It started out great when I saw 2 enders right off, one of them showing a walker half reverse! Contents were: 2 proofs, 4 40%ers, 3 1964 Kennedys, 3 Benjamins!!!, 4 Walkers!!!!, and... wait for it... a 1907 Barber Half!!!!! Wow somebody dumped a slew of goodies this season, and the mind reels at what I DIDN'T find, but so amazed at what I have found. And it's another 90% silver quadrality!!!!
I'm hoping more of this motherload continues to surface, but am beyond belief at this point. Bent the needle on the luck o meter and probably broke it off. Thanks for reading. Coming up soon, my year end totals.
More than ever, HAPPY HUNTING!!!
