Great finds. I somehow missed this when it was first posted. The coin shop offered $30 each or said that is the amount he'd ask for them if he was selling?

The Stone Mountain half is at the very top of my "Hope to Find" list in which I thought I had a reasonable chance of actually finding.

Went to the bank yesterday to cash a check. Ask the teller if he had any halves and he said he had two ten dollar rolls of them and I bought them. I was excited about finding some silver because they were really old paper wraps. Fooled again, all were 70-74.

1970 are silver and very hard to find. How many of them are 1970?

coin shop said they were worth 30.00 each. If I put them on ebay I would ask 30.00
