hi everyone. this is my first time posting tho ive been reading for about a year now . Ive wanted to get a box of half dollars for about a month now, but i am only 15 and cant get it without my mom. Well she finally said yes ! :headbang: So she went to order it but they said they couldnt because they had $900 in cwr in the vault so she went ahead and bought me $500 in those. Started going through and it looked like a dump. some of the rolls had writing saying what was inside >:( but then i had a 3 roll streak and got 19 40% :hello2: Beginners luck maybe. but who cares :icon_thumright:

Drop those off at another bank, pick up the rest of the CWR's.

Nice score.

great start and as stated multiple times already, dump that clad and get the other 400, you never know what you might find!

at the same time you clean out their CWR ask them to put the order in for a box now that they are empty, by the time it arrives you should have time to go through the other 400 and dump it.

Way to go! If only I had been aware of this hobby when I was 15. Oh, the silver I would have now.

I am with you there. Had I known and also possessed the strength of character needed to not cash it in during a moment of convenience I'd be able to buy a nice house at market price for cash, and still have money left over to buy a riding mower and hire a kid to run it every week.

Big A grats my friend I am happy to hear you were able to talk your mother into doing this for you and then BAM!! it pays off on the first time around with 19 40% equals out to 2.8 oz and a little over 90 bucks in melt value which can be translated into an easy 75 bucks at about any coin / pawn shop (low side) replace the 9.50 in face value an pocket a cool 65 all the while retaining your 500 up front cost.

Wanna intoduce me to mom??? :laughing9: :laughing9: :laughing9: Im just teasing

Yall are going to have alot of fun roll hunting together. Build some good memories because there is only 1 mom, never forget no matter how mad she makes you, there is and will only be 1.

Good Luck, Happy Hunting and welcome to the hobby

I'd have to agree that being 15 sucks (I'm 30). All you think about is finally driving a car. But you gotta think about CRH in addition. I was just thinking about girls. But I wish I'd started CRH WHEN i was 15. haha
