My first Mini-Mother Lode

[RocknRoll]

So I've been waiting to post this for a while. Earlier this year, I ordered 4 boxes of half dollars. I went to pick them up and the teller said there were also loose rolls of halves. I assumed they were clad dumps. He asked if I wanted them. The other teller said something like "they have a lot of silver in them". I was certain at this point that they were clad dumps.

But, since it was 18 rolls and I had the cash on me, I obeyed the "Buy Them All" commandment.

I got to the car and was shocked when the 1st roll was almost all silver!

I had a function with one of my kids that night and could hardly wait until I got home (well actually I didn't.....opened 3 rolls....lots of silver and my 1st solid roll!).

I had the kids help me that night.....photos and videos from each roll.

Totals......approx 170 silver from 18 rolls. 3x90%.....the rest 40%.

3 rolls of uncirculated Bicentenniels as well.

Hope this is not my last score like this but we'll see.

I think the other 4 boxes produced a measly 3 x 40%.

Nice find.

If the bicentennial rolls are not printed with "1976" on the side, then you probably should open them. There could be silver inside or something else good. I hope that is not bad advice, but they are probably not worth much more than 50 cents a piece anyway and it would be hard to sell them as a solid roll of clad 76's if you don't know for sure what is in there.

I keep hoping for a jackpot like yours. Congrats!
