I finally made the half dollar bag at work drop by bringing in some rejects. Went through the bag and started pulling 40%ers with each handful. next I found a 64. then i pulled something strange. a 1851 large cent valued at 20.00! a few minute later 42 walker surfaced. In the end 35 40%'s a walker and a 64, plus the large cent. mustve been counted as a half by the machine. Needles to say 100.00 worth of coin purchased for 18.50. Made more money CRHing than working as a teller! Later that day a kid came through looking for 100.00 in halves. when i asked him what he was up to he said looking for silver. i tried not to laugh in his face. Needless to say my best expedition yet.

Very nice job on the large cent not to mention the silver. Those large cents don't pop up very often. What kind of shape is it in?

Again, kudos SS. Well done!

Nice find, can we see a picture of it? I guess it stands to reason that it's possible to pull a large cent out of a roll of halfs then.

I've pulled my share of large cents out of rolls. HH Mark
