I'm back and I hit a small fortune..

So.. I did the whole military move thing across the country.. Finally settled at our new base for a week or so, and decided it is time to find my box/dump banks. Been calling around and looks like it may be harder than I thought..

Anyways I decided to take a small drive around a couple towns just to see what I could find. I did find a bank where I might open an acct in the future as my dump bank (TD Bank).

6 or so banks I stopped in had no halves.

2 of the banks just so happened to have some halves.

WF had some loose halves ($10) - Out of that I got an 89S and a 40%

Then I stopped at another bank where there were 4 customer rolled halves. They tried to convince me to join the bank and I told then I would think about it.. On the drive home I decided to open 1 roll in the car.. It was ON from there :)

All solid silver

13 Walkers
64 64's
3 clad

Not too shabby. I think I may like this game better than buying boxes. I am sure it doesn't happen all of the time, but there was little effort.. About 2.5 hours of driving around, and only $8 left in regular halves that I will spend at the store.

Amazing score! Small fortune indeed! And like you said - with scores like that you don't have to bother with dumping either. Congrats! :hello2: :notworthy:

Finding silver @ face is oooh so great!

Congrats! I think you said you were moving to Northern VA area? If so, I think you will be pleased. We lived in Fairfax County, VA until our move out here to Missouri last year, and I can tell you that scores like this are more common there.

Nice haul!
