My best day was probably when I found 2 barbers. I did find a roll of silver one time. It was funny because I had no one to show them to, so I showed them to a little kid about 4. She was not impressed and said she did not want any, as she had money at home. :D

Best day was when I stumbled across 7 complete rolls of 90% silver halves. Got two barbers, a 1906O and a 1907. Also got some of the pretty scarce date Walkers...I forget exactly which but coins in the $30-$40 range. I was elated, to say the least.

On 3-12-07 I hit 11 banks and bought $477 in halves. I found 2 complete silver rolls and others that gave me----8-Walkers, 5-Franklin, 11-90% and 28-40%. Now if I could just come close to this again.

It was 11/19/06 when I sat down at a slot machine and ended up draining [red]344[/red] 40%ers from it. Ever try walking two blocks with a casino cup full of silver half dollars? It'll test your bravery!

What a Jackpot! ;D ;D Love it, sticking it to man. I wonder if the cameras caught the huge smile on your face and the little dance you did! ;D Security was probably scratching their heads. Certainly wasnt gambling and yet you won a jackpot!!!

Tim - That will be very hard to top.....has to be the find of the year!

Immy - What a hit! Yes, your a brave man......walking 2 blocks, I would have ran.....ha!

As for as finding Barbers......give me oxygen!!!

Finding a roll of platinum eagles in a halves wrapper, and on the inside of the wrapper was a treasure map leading to a long-lost gold mine! hahaha. seriously, my best day was finding 391 Ikes at a bank. They were in halloween-themed sandwich baggies and sorted into $50 lots. No silver, but most were AU or better. I'm not too active at CRHing currently (go to the bank only once a week now), but I do hope to beat this one day by finding some insane amount of silver. HH!

Mine was a couple months ago. I found 31 Mercs and 11 silver rosies out of $200.00. I have found more silver in halves at one time but never that many dimes.
