I'm sitting in my car right now at the bank opening up $100 in handrolled halves. I definitely just landed on someones collection. 3 rolls in and I have 5 barbers and about that many franklins and walkers. I'm so amped. Will post the the results of the final 7 rolls when I get home.

UPDATE

So I just finished up the $100 in handrolls and took some pics for you guys. Im still kinda speechless, I have no idea what this forum considers a dream roll/box but this is def it for me. I think I owe the teller some candy or something. Here is the final breakdown

1 Clad Proof(1986-S)
1 1892 Columbian Expedition Comm
40 40%(65 x4,66 x2,67 x12,68 x14,69 x8)
4 x90 1964s
12 x 90% Franklins (48,49 x2,50,51 x3,52 x2,62,63 x2)
8 Walking Libertys (39-D,42,43,45 x2,46 x2,46-S)
18 Barbers(1899,1900-O,1901,1902,1905-O,1906-D,1906,1907-D,1908-S,1910-S,1911-D,1911 x2,1914-S,1915-D x2)

That's the best score by the numbers (small amount bought ) that I have ever seen here.
I must disagree whole heartedly with the earlier respondent - who stated that " those Barbers,
and some of the Walkers are in EF or Au condition " It in no way denigrates your finds to
point out that without a full liberty on the headband , your best Barber will make fine at best ,
A couple of the Walkers do indeed look EF or better ! Argentium.

Wow! :thumbsup: Outstanding score.

Some low mintages on a few of those Barbers, such as the 1905-O, only 505,000. Not worth huge dollars but a pretty uncommon find.

Yeah the Barbers are all in G shape...the real $$ with them is in the higher grades...I think I might have 2 Walking Liberties that would grade VG.

Phenomenal Find.

The Colombian is in great shape. The walkers look good too. The barbers are in better shape than any of the (7) I have found in the 4 years I have been searching. (Over 2,000,000 Halves Searched.)

So you done real good my friend.

And for $100 in hand rolls.... It don't get much better than that. Thanks for the photos and the inspiration. Congrats on a "DREAM FIND"

Ok o this story gets even better. Just went to the bank to pickup the 2 rolls of cents they say he turned in...turns out her turned in a roll on nickels as well. The 2 rolls of pennies were all marked 1984. And that's what they contained. The nickels on the other hand had no marking and produced 3 pretty nice coins. 2 V nickels and a dated Buffalo. I will post some pics when I get home. Thanks to all those who encouraged me to go back to thebank and check for more.

Fantastic score! It will be hard to ever top that one, but I hope you do. It certainly has me fired up for my Friday road trip!

Awesome score on all of those! I think the 1892 columbian has a lower mintage than the 1893 so that is pretty cool too.
