Stopped by a local bank during lunch and asked if they had any half dollars or old coins. The teller informed me that she had just what i was looking for. She came back with twelve plastic rolls of half dollars. She told me that some man was paid for some work with these and he deposited them. These are all full tubes of 2005S and 2004S. All are mint state have not a scratch or print on them. They are not silver.......any ideas on what a full tube in this condition is worth and any ideas on what to do with them. I am dumb founded on this find. Enjoy the photos! proof1.JPG proof2.JPG proof3.JPG proof4.JPG proof5.JPG

YES! Do that! Hopefully they are rolls of silver proofs! But clad proofs are still a really nice find. The most I ever found was 4 in a CWR, but full rolls of pristine clad proofs, that's amazing!

Absolutely get the rest!!!!! Can't wait to hear if they are silver proofs, if so you will be in the $300-$400 per roll range.

Picked up the other 10 rolls. I know have 22 rolls of 2004S and 2005S clad proofs. Just need to know what im going to do with them all. I will probably take them to local coin show an see if i can trade for silver. I was thinking maybe one roll for one silver eagle. When the lady first pulled them out and showed me all i saw was that they were proofs with a beautiful S. My first thought was that they were all silver till i looked closer. Still was a great adrenalin rush.
