but not due to any silver. Instead KT came across two well circulated clad Proofs, a 1972S and a 1995S. These are, even to KT, worth only 50 cents each due to their condition, however, KT kept them out of general principle and the hope of eventually filling a $10 tube with proofs by the end of the year!

Also, there is another grease-filled die...KT has recovered several of these 1996 Kens with little to no lettering on the obverse rim, reverse strike is fine. His Majesty used the USB led microscope at 10X to examine portions of this coin.
You will see part of both the first and ending lettering is missing, along with part of the date and the last 2 letters of Trust.

So no silver, but because KT looks at every date and mint mark, He made a few grabs this week! Also, the 2021's made their round again in KT's first box...there must have been more than 200 of them! :laughing::laughing: But since KT satisfied His Need for them 2 weeks ago, they all go into the dump bank tomorrow!

Below are the pictures, hope you enjoy them! Have a great week MDing and CRHing!

That's a sweet tool you have there KT, that USB microscope! 1972 was a really good year too :roll: GroundSweeper was born that year :laughing:
 
Those are still some neat finds, KT - congrats! :good:

Royal Thanks, Wolf-Dog. KT is glad to have recovered them!

The USB microscope has been both fun to learn and a great aid in photographing both coins and tiny crystals. Yes, KT thinks ye are correct about 72 being a good year! :laughing::laughing:
 
Congrats on the proofs KT! Could you post a full photo of the grease-filled die half's obverse?

Per your request, kaufenanger, here is the overall photo of the grease-filled die error. You will see BER above Kennedy's head...to the left lower you will see n God and to the right lower you will see We Tru, and at the bottom you will see ___6. The rest is not there.
