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)

Ooooh my gosh.....Unbelievable!!! Tim, when you hit them...you don't play around. That is just totally insane!!! 443 Franklin's will probably never be topped. I am reading your post with my jaw on the computer desk in disbelief!!! I feel the excitement from reading your post....most excellent Tim. What is equally amazing is they are all 90% except 28!!! Geezem peaks.......you made one heck of a profit with that stop.

You really know how to sniff out that humongous hits. What is your secret? I am proud for you Tim!!! This is why I prefer the bank hunting........over boxes.

Congrats...Kudos....WTG.....Great stop!

Watch out collection books.....lol.

Congratulations, and thanks for the photos. I think hand-rolled halves are, at this time, a better prospect (pun intended) overall than the scanty pickings typically found in boxes ordered in recent months.

One has to wonder, exactly what kind of a sacrifice did you make to the silver god before you took off after these two banks !

Great, great finds Tim !!

Actually, it's beyond words.
