Got a bunch of halfs hunting at banks. No silver...I don't just rimsearch but I somehow missed this so it was lying with a bunch of other coins in the beverage holder for a few days.

my first proof

What rating would you give it? The photos don't quite do it justice. Its somewhat shinier than the washout would suggest and it actually looks pretty flawless from some angles but there is some impairment in scratches and prints. Think it might be worth a few more pennies than face? Not that I plan to sell it if I don't get a better one.

Jarwulf:
Your 1987-S proof would likely grade PR-63 or so, unless the grader decided the scratches were bad enough to call the coin "damaged". It probably also rates a cameo or DCAM designation since almost all modern proofs qualify. I expect a collector would pay a buck or two for your coin.

Say, you show the reverse in a sideways position. Is the coin actually rotated like that? I ask because I recently found an 1983-S proof Kennedy with a quarter-turn rotated die error.

To my surprise my next box from BofA was a flatter one with holes in it and yellow rolls rather than the compact 'Brinks style' boxes I was used to. They're a bit harder to open though. I talked with the teller and it appears for some odd reason BofA orders boxes in two no matter how much you get. At least I don't have to bother them so much.

Anyway saved from the skunk by a

1967-best one I've gotten so far.

NIFC
2005-d
2010? don't feel like pulling the coin to check the mark
bunch of 2002 (no longer bother since they're so common)

oddities
1999 holed
1 that looked like it might have been bled on
Several different marks from hunters


2-1993p fair condition. First I've ever come across. my set of clad regular issues is now complete.

I do an average of 2 boxes per week of 50 centers from Wells Fargo. I am lucky to find ONE 40% per box. I have many banks around here, but I don't want to open a million accounts to order boxes from them. Does anyone know of any good sources or banks they have been successful ordering with? Thanks everyone.
