I NEVER thought I could top my day of 670 -40%r's in one day (http://forum.treasurenet.com/index.php/topic,72511.0.html). Today I scored 654 silver halves including 443 Bens, 20 Walkers, 163 -64's and 28 - 40%r's.
I had some customers to see in the morning and was near a 2 bank town that was in my sights for a while. I hit the first bank at lunchtime and bought 9 rolls. A quick edge check and I pulled out 13 - 40% - not bad!!
The other bank only had 2 tellers but they had 16 rolls in their drawers. I bought them all and asked for vault rolls. They told me they had another 20 rolls there but had to wait until the other tellers got back from lunch. I found they were open 'til 5pm and headed out for another call and told them I would be back by to pick them up.
I wasn't too jazzed because they gave me a couple Fed wrapped rolls. As I drove to my next customer I started popping halves out of the hand wrapped rolls. Damn near drove off the road a few times as I found Ben after Ben and 64 after 64!!!.
I was settled down after my call and determined that 12 rolls were solid silver, most all 90%!!
Got back to the bank ASAP and almost lost it when they brought over the 20 rolls which looked exactly like the other silver laden hand wrapped rolls I picked up earlier.
They were happy to get those halves out of there after having to count them for several years according to the delightful ladies.
WELL, same result! All 20 were solid including full rolls of Bens and 1 full roll of Walkers!!!!
Thank You God!!!
I got 32 rolls of solid silver -including an extra Ben in one roll (641 coins)

Very Nice find however I had something similer happen to me years ago back in the mid 90's when the bank i deal with called me and said they just had someone try to cash in 1000's of Ben's and told the man to give me a call normally they would just call me after they cashed in. Not sure why they didn't do that this time. but to make a long strory short he called me and I made a deal one dollar per coin. You may say I robbed him but he wanted face value for them an hour earlier. So doubling your money in a couple of days aint that bad. After 4 days of picking the good ones out and 4 complete sets later I called my friends and they bought the rest. After everything was said and done he pulled out a 1 gallon tub of silver roosevelts he wanted to get rid of. Me and my firends were busted and couldn't buy them. I told him to give me a week and I would get more money, he told me no that he needed the money fast and he was just going to cash in at the bank. I told him to go to a coin shop and they would buyt them, and his reply was thats OK he was happy with what he got from the halfs. So off to the bank he went. I went back to the bank a week later and the tellers picked them clean. You know to this day I never counted how many I got. I still have them I never sell my coins, maybe I should count them.

excuse the novice question but you just go to a bank and ask for them and if luck is on your side this is what you get????? do you pay face value at the bank for them? again i apologize if these are dumb questions. take care everyone, ozzy
