I had the day off, so I headed to the beach in RI with my metal detector. I got off the highway and stopped at the first bank. Walked into a jackpot!
They had $10.50 loose, when she held em up I saw a bunch of shiny rims. And after asking about three times, the teller remembered the $140 cwr's in her coin vault. I saw most of the rolls written on: 1969, 1969, 1967,1967, 1968, 1980's, 1970's, etc, and some blank. I was like, "Are these really what I think they are?! Solid rolls?!"
Results:
The breakdown was: 8 solid rolls - 7 full of 40%'s, and one with 18 40% and 2 1964. Six rolls were marked what years they had in em, 2 were unmarked but all silver. The clad marked rolls - the one market 1776-1976 had 4 1964's. The loose: 1 Ben, 1 1964s, 5 40%'s.
Total: 163 40%'s & 8 90%'s. Best. Finds. Ever. 27.3 oz silver.
PS - Rhode Island beaches really got hit from Sandy. I walked onto the beach, and left within a few minutes. There was damage everywhere. I had found my treasure for the day.
