I only had the chance to go to one bank yesterday. They had two rolls of halves. Nothing in the first roll and no half dollars in the second. But...there were two very interesting coins in the second roll. I got two German silver 5 reich mark coins dated 1937 and 1939. They have Paul Von Hindenburg on the front and the 3rd Reich Eagle and swastika on back. They appear to be silver...very heavy coins in great shape.
An interesting find.

Fantastic finds Bill!

The catalog says they contain .1607 ounces of silver, or just less than a pre-1965 US quarter. Check for mintmarks too!
