Found a 1970-S half this week. Was out in the midwest and stopped by a small bank in a small town. I asked for halves, she said they had $500, how many would I like? I said $100. Normally I'd buy them all but I'm traveling for work and don't have a bank account for 1,000 miles in any direction so I didn't really have a plan for how to get rid of them. She heads into the vault and grabs a canvas bag with $500 in halves in there. She dumps some out on the counter and starts to count out $100. I notice 1 or 2 40%'ers in there, but nothing crazy. We're small talking and she says "are you sure you don't want $200 worth?" I say sure. So we're talking and counting and stacking and asks what I want them for. I say I bring them home and look through them with the family and we looks for certain dates for the collection. She asks, do you want to look through the rest of the bag for any old ones? Uh, yeah, that'd be great. She dumps the other $300 onto the counter and we pick the old ones out (she proceeds to tell me that you can tell the difference by the color of the rim and by the sound they make). I pick a total of 12 more 40's out of the pile. All totaled I got a single '64, 20 65-69's and the 1970-S in really nice shape. Also had 2 NIFC's in the bag. Picked up 5 other 40's and another '64 on the rest of the trip. Overall a very good score for me and was super excited about the 1970-S. It's my first 1970 and my first silver proof.
Also found a pile of prehistoric artifacts searching fields before the CRH adventure. I good day for me.
