As MentalUnrest and I know, Iowa is pretty much tapped out for finding silver in Half Dollar Rolls. He'll hate me for this...but here's the story.
I ordered a $500 from my credit union in an agreement that I could use them to fill up their coin counter bag. I haven't ordered boxes in months, and Mental just did his rase to 100 skunks not too long ago. My Credit Union has a nice coin counter, I think their bag will produce as it is publically accessible and the tellers can't cherry pick it, and a great old building that a lot of older folks bank at. Someone feeling guilty about cashing in halves will do it there. It is also right next to a shopping center, so bonus for traffic!
I got the box today (along with $500 in dimes, results on those tonight when I get home) but figured I'd rip the halves open and edge check them real quick after lunch...who knows...it is my birthday, maybe the silver gods will grant me a gift.
14th roll...I drop 3 on the end as I open the roll. I hear that distinctive ringing sound. I thought "No way, as I opened this roll I didn't see any silver 90% edges"...I looked at the ground, and a gold toned 1964 JFK was looking up at me.
I edge checked the rest of the box, but I'm going to go back and date and error check the rest of the halves tonight or tomorrow night, depending when I have time between birthday festivities. I always date check my halves because of exact reasons like this, but I thought I'd leave a warning for others, not date checking your halves can cost you silver!
