Fa-fa-fa-finally! 2/9 finds

[bazinga]

Last night i made a list of local banks and credit unions with addresses and phone #'s. The first bank I called had $130 and the next bank had none. I decided to go buy the $130 just to be safe. I also got $70 in dimes while there that got my nothing The halves yeilded the following:

1977 S Proof
1964 90%
1968D 40%

First silver halves of the year. It's about time!

Then later in the afternoon I called more banks and two banks had halves. The first bank I went to said they had over $1,000. I got excited. Then the teller said a guy usually drops off halves every day and that he searches them. BOOOOO, sounds like I have some serious competition here!

I went to another bank that said they had $250. Same bank as the previous, just a different branch. All of the halves had markings on them of one kind or another. Squat from that bank.

Oh well, at least I got 2 silver pieces today.

Right on, Brian! Glad to have you in the silver half club! Hopefully you won't have to wait another six weeks before your next finds.

I was inspired by your results and got $100 from the casino where I work and...[drum roll]...nada! Oh well, not every time can be lucky.

Congratulations on the silver halves. I'll tell you calling the banks ahead of time works very well. I'm glad the teller told you that the $1000.00 in halves were already searched. That would have really sucked if you bought all of them and then found that out.
