I had to do some out of town work on Thursday so of course I hit up a few small banks. Was very pleased to find a forty percent silver bicentennial half and then two more at a second bank.

The third bank had $240 in halves. I bought $100 thinking it was a dump. I was right...all the rolls were labeled by date and all clad. I went to work thinking the other 14 rolls were surely all the same. But it kept bugging me so after I was done I went back to the bank to get the other 14 rolls.

Pretty glad I did. I got a fourth 40% bicentennial, a few silver Kennedy halves and these:

19 walkers and my first two Barbers: a 1908-O and a 1915-D. I was just thinking I had found about 4000 silver coins without ever finding a barber half and now two in one day.

There was about ten ounces of silver altogether and a nearly complete set of bu clad kennedy halves and 8 proofs in the dump.

Wow, fantastic score!!!

If this post doesn't drill home that you should always buy them all, I'm not sure what will

My thoughts for sure. Can't believe how close I came to never knowing how close I came to 2 Barbers and 19 Walkers
 

Don't forget to tip the shampoo girl.
 

uh, that's a pretty solid find. Nice work. The stack of Walkers in amazing by itself. Adding the Barbers is a nice touch. Well done.

That's one thing I have learned. Buy it all or as much as you can and go back for the rest. Never know.. congrats on that awesome find..
 

Congrats on finding all those LADIES wearing long flowing gowns. Great job.
 

Wow...and I get excited over one 40 percenter lol. Amazing finds!
 

JEALOUS...maybe it's more like "I hope that's me finding those one of these days"! Very nice.
