Went to the bank near my college that I scored 17 40%ers at in the last 2 weeks. She only had 60 bucks worth of coins. I picked them up and got a 67 ad 68 out of those two. I aslo got my second proof ever, a Bicentennial (s mint). So I dump them and decide to go get a air tight for it at my LCS. Well there is a bank in that shopping center so I decide to go see if they have halves. She also only has 60 bucks. This is where I hit some major silver. Aside from the 2 silvers that I had already found, I found a total of 38 40%ers and 3 1964's (my first 90%ers in months).

that brings my haul today to a little over 7 oz. plus my second proof. Best haul I've had for such a small pickup. I got the closest I've come to a solid roll, there was one 1971 in there with all the other 40%ers, but hey I ain't complaining.

Sweet cull of silver. A few of the 40%'ers look to be uncirculated based on the shiny crisp rims.

I think a lot of them are probably MS at least. The rolls these came out of didn't have a half in it older than about 1978. I think they have been sitting in someones house in the same rolls for 40 years. It's finding stuff like this that makes me love this hobby.

Congrats! I have yet to pull silver the few times I have tried. seeing this, it gives me hope.

May the silver rains down upon everyone!

Keep at it, you'll find something. This is proof that it's still out there.

HA! You made a joke!

This is PROOF that it's still out there.

Get it? Because you found a proof? Okay, that was lame. Sorry.

Nice finds!

It's always nice to see the 1964 mixed in. I haven't found a 90% in about 2 months. The 40%ers add up though. Nice find!
