If I can get at least one silver per visit or two, that would fine by me. Of course, a real silver streak would be awesome, too :thumbsup:

Got it on the first roll I opened. Too bad nothing followed, but it was a nice way to start!

Went to my pick-up bank today to get my typical $200 in mwr halves. While making the transaction, one of the tellers says "don't go yet" and proceeds to bring me a walking liberty half - my first ever. She clearly made note of the time not too long ago when I asked them a favor and keep an eye open for older coins. Bakery is in the works for these ladies.
So, took the halves home and on the very first roll picked out a Ben -- only my second of said coin. Oddly, the rest of the rolls were skunk, but I didn't care. I'm not full octane when coin rolling, so these small rewards really make my day. :thumbsup:

So, $200 mwr halves: 1954 Ben
Teller tray: 1944 Liberty

Nice finds and congrats on your first Walker. I found my first teller tray Walker ('41) for 2014 just last week also. Walkers are always a nice surprise and fun to find.

H$H!

Nice finds. I've been having good luck with Walkers lately. I find more Walkers than Franklins for some strange reason.
