You found a 70-D  . Someone definitely broke that out of cellophane. Must have been a kid wanting some candy money! swcoin.ecrater.com

Could have been. It makes you wonder if any of the coins in our collections have been stolen, sold, than purchased by us legitimately. It's a sad thought  swcoin.ecrater.com

I have actually thought about that more than once. I try not to feel bad about it, and just hope that the "victim" knows that their coins are in good hands.  |

it had minor wear (the 70d I found) but if you hadput it in a random pile with a bunch of other 40% halfs it would have just blended right in.

That's all you can do. Can't trace it back to original owner!

Looks better than I imagined! It still shows signs of being passed around, whether by hand or hiding in a bag for a few years. Still, nice grab! |

I'm sure most of us have found Proof coins, so why not something out of a mint set? One of the first boxes I searched, I found 42 Proof's dating from '71 thru '79. I have to believe they were stolen. Has anyone here found a Silver Proof yet?

yes, and it was an amazing find! From the same bank, 13 2006-S Silver Proofs, 15 clad proofs dating from 2004 to 2006, and in the eight rolls they had, EVERY coin was dated after 2002! And except for a few very minor hairline scratches, they looked perfect; all gorgeous Cameos! I have a picture of ten of the 2006-s silvers; I will post it when I get home to my computer with the photos on it
