Ok So I've been lurking these forums for a while and have just now got around to joining. Just in time to share my AWSOME find yesterday.


I hit a couple of banks in a town down the road from me, with a few 40%, the last bank that told me they had halfs I noticed a credit union next door. After getting my two year old to ask the teller for "haf doolars" they informed me they had $90 worth. I bought them and continued down my way. My daughter was getting hungry so I stopped and got her something to eat at sonic, in waiting for the food I went through a couple of rolls with mixed luck. then I grab one roll that was marked "1942 Walking liberty."

My first thought is "yeah right! I found someones dumps." So I open it and right on top is LADY LIBERTY followed by her 19 sisters! I'm on cloud nine baby! My first silver roll in less than a month of hunting! i'm just holding them about to cry. Then I hide those in my car and continue on to the remaning 5 rolls, first three had 7 40% total then another roll marked "1943 walking liberty!"

These coins had been "in the safe a long time" and boy was I glad to take them off their hands!


NOTE: one of each date is missing. I had to give my brother in law/ cohunter 1 each to stop him from stabbing me in my sleep....

YES! and it was mixed from all three mints. Got good coins from all the mints from both years! Nice addition to my collection. Can't wait to find more 40% to sell for money to go towards my metal detector. I like how this addiction pays for my other addiction! And when I retire in 39 1/2 years I'll be able to do this FULL TIME! lol

Yeah and I thought my wife would be mad I was spending money on sonic fast food instead of eating at home! She does not quite understand my "crazy hobby." But she does understand what SILVER is lol

Great score. If we find rolls like that we might need a defibulator kept around the house.

Congratulations. What a feeling.
