I go to Washington state about once a year to visit family. I always bake in a half day or so to hunt some coins. Thereā€™s a particular bank I stop at that ALWAYS has silver, like $20 shotgun rolls that are solid silver and have the word ā€˜silverā€™ written on them. Itā€™s a good bank to say the least. So I stop by this morning ask for halves and am told ā€œwe gave them all to a guy yesterdayā€. $&@#! The teller then says ā€œI have 2 if you want themā€. Of course I say yes and thereā€™s clearly a 40%er in there. I thank her and ask if sheā€™ll see if the other tellers have any left. No problem. The far teller says he has 3 and the middle teller who's Helping another customer says he has 2.

I can hear that 1 of the 3 at the far teller is a silver. When the middle says she had 2 the customer sheā€™s helpin says ā€œI was going to buy thoseā€. My teller looks at me ackward and I say ā€œnot a problemā€ and she gives the 2 back to the middle teller. Meanwhile the far teller keeps checking his 3 coins with a funny look. Iā€™m thinking the guy yesterday took the bulk of the score, the other customer sniped 2 halves from me and this far teller is going to undercut me too. Awesome. Eventually my teller returns with the 3 halves from the far teller do whatever he was looking at he left in there.

I throw them them in my pocket and walk out. When I get to the parking lot this is what is staring back at me.



Found the commemorative, 2 64-Dā€™s and 6 40%ers.

Twitch, crazy story man! That coin has so much detail left in it. Must have only had a few owners.

Looks like $12-14 on ebay's recent sold items; although I would probably just keep it for my personal collection.

Couple interesting notes:
todayā€™s hunt took me over 500oz silver total for my CRH career. Not bad for a 2 box a week hunter.
This is my 4th oldest dates CRH find (1830 bust half, 1874 Indian head penny, 1890 V nickel and narrowly misses an 1895 Barber half).
my 2nd classic commem (also have a 1925 Stone Mountain) and 4th overall 90% commem.

Nice saves Twitch! I always look forward to your yearly Washington State post to see what I'm missing :laughing7: That commemorative is fantastic. I found my first two this year out of a teller tray as well. Also congrats on the 500 oz mark!! :occasion14:

Thanks. I'm pretty fortune that I have an under-hunted stretch to search. Either that or it just has a ridiculous amount of silver flowing through it. I know next time I'm heading out I'm going to call the bank 3-4 weeks ahead of the trip and see if they'll save the halves and large dollars for a couple of weeks for me. If it works it should be a gold mine. Or a silver mine.

Iā€™m going to pass on getting too detailed here. Follow Zomotion. Heā€™s been killing it out west.

Like the diplomacy. BTW, do you check your car for tracking devices? (just wonderin'...)
