Hamilton Half Dollars (pics)! 18 Ounces!

[CTRollHunter]

This is the story of my first Hamilton half dollars...

I was travelling for business and stopped at 4 banks. Not much until the last one offered me 7 rolls. 4 held nothing, but the wrappers of the other three were promising:




Hamilton halves! Well, that's news to me. I kinda figured this was some other crh's joke, so I was hoping (but not expecting much) when I spilled the rolls:






Wow! My first "Hamilton" halves! 48 ninety percent silvers total. Another 9 forty percenters. Some of the Hamiltons are BU! About 18 ounces total! The teller was so glad to get rid of the doors she let out a cheer as I left...

Great score, congrats! Do you suppose Hamilton is the bald guy or the cross dresser?

I am comfortable claiming that this the SINGLE GREATEST SCORE OF HAMILTON HALVES EVER!

Was it a commemorative? I have never seen that half. Post some pics.
I do see a lot of Ben Franklin's.

Hamilton vs. Franklin

Those are Franklin half dollars, not Hamilton. They are nice!

I know they are Franklins but if you look at the wrapper the old owner called them Hamiltons.

Some have full mint luster!

I like Hamilton halves. Look for errors, especially the Buggs Bunny error on the mouth. 1955 was a good year for them. I just found my first one.
