Oh, Brother! KT thought for a bit that this week was gonna be another bust, but lo and behold, box 3 yielded a single Bennie, stained but in nice shape! Then box 4 was also a bust, yielding only a very few NIFCs. Box 1 was a total bust, and Box 2 gave up a Vietnam War stickered Ken, 1 Proof, and 1 dirty 1987, which cleaned up nicely.

But the shocker was Box 5! When KT started ripping rolls, recent NIFCs started rolling out! They were in every roll, and in the midst of them, KT recovered a 64 Ken. All in all, there were more than 250 NIFCs in Box 5...and KT decided to complete His NIFCs rolls of 2017 and 2018, and make up one additional roll of each, as well as use what He could to fill other year rolls. KT now has completed all years from 2002 to 2018, except 2007 and 2011, of which He needs less than 10 of each year to complete. After that, KT will reject all NIFCs, except for any proofs and 2019 Kens that He finds...have not yet recovered a 2019...too early in the year for them to start showing up. Box 5 was obviously the dump from either a collector or a dealer, and me thinks the 64 just slipped through their hands as a mistake! :laughing::laughing:

So the total take this week was: 1 Bennie, 1 64 Ken, 96 NIFCs, 1 Proof, 1 87 Ken, and 1 Vietnam War sticker Ken!

Only the silver and those 3 keepers were saved to photograph, the NIFCs being stored away in their respective rolls. When that collection is completed, KT will issue a photograph of the entire collection!

Best of luck to everyone this coming week!

Very nice to see that you got back on the silver train as well ! And the completion of many NIFC rolls is an added bonus. Congrats !
 
Amazing! Great finds KT, maybe I should CRH to get my first benji, Cause I can't find one in the wild it seems :laughing: congrats!

:laughing: KT knows what you mean, cellrdwellr! Only silver KT ever got in over 2 years of MDing was a 64 Rosie, and it was actually discovered when KT was cleaning His clad finds back at the Castle! :laughing::laughing: but of course, KT was only hunting totlots! Anyway, Bens have been nice to KT this year. In fact, this year, so far, is unusual because KT has recovered more 90%ers than 40%ers.
