I went to the bank today to pick up my weekly box of halves. As I was socially distanced in line, I noticed that there were some coins in the reject tray of the coin counting machine. I grabbed the contents which I counted when I got home : $3.24 of non-damaged U.S. coins -- not sure why they were rejected, but I'll take them.

When I opened the half dollar box, I noticed a JFK silver ender (reverse was showing, but I knew it was silver). I cracked that roll first and it was indeed a 40% silver half.

As I made my way through the rest of the box, I kept piling up the silver. Final tally (all JFK) : 3 @ 90% and 38 @ 40%.

Icing on the cake : a 1982P 'no FG' half and a 1974S impaired proof.

See attached.

Congrats on that score and thanks for giving us a little hope when our banks have stopped ordering. Today, I dumped my fifth consecutive skunk box of the year and a new "masks optional" sign greeted me on the front door of my dump credit union. Drove 30 miles to my "local" Lowes and stopped at two branches of my pickup banks - no halves available.

Honestly, when I get a big score like this, I post it so other CRHers realize there is still silver out there. As Adam Clayton Powell Jr. said, "Keep the faith, baby"
