Was dumping halves today, and heard the distinct sound of silver, SCORE!!

[Infowarrior]

Was waiting on the teller to pass me my cash back, and overhear a guy at the coin machine asking about if the machines take his dollar coins, and I hear silver as he is messing with his coins.

Walk over and see whats happening, see a morgan dollar, some ikes, and ask him if I could see what else he was dumping, as I might buy it all right there.

He dumped out what he had on the counter, and I could see standing liberty quarters, silver halves, more morgan dollars... mixed in with the new presidential dollar coins. It looks to me to be about 50-60$ worth he was dumping.

I offered him 100$ to take it all, and he jumped on that. He took the money and ran, I would have liked to ask if he had more, but oh well...

I couldnt wait to get home and sort this out!!!

Totals:

26.50$ in silver face value, and 38.25$ in clad/dollar coins(SBA/golds)

8 Morgan dollars ranging from 1879-1921
1 1924 peace dollar
18 1964 half dollars, most look AU condition.
4 Barber quarters
3 standing liberty quarters
23 Washington silver quarters


Man oh man im still shaking!!

On another note, my 4 boxes today produced a single 40%. I was pretty dissapointed when going into the bank and dumping those 4 boxes, but coming out, I had hell of a grin on my face.

HH all!!

SOOOOOOO F*CKIN' JEALOUS!

Haha, awesome score, man!

There's a good chance that early nickels and cents were also put thru the machine. Congrats!!

I got to the coins before he ran any through, he did dump some into the machine, but the one teller pulled them out for me after I bought him out. He never ran the machine.

You would think with the collection I got, there should be more halves(bens/walkers/barbers!!!), and there were no dimes at all either... Ah well, maybe another time :P

I dont have any coin books myself, but did check online for key dates, and none that I have were listed...

The morgans/peace dollar all are no mint mark(P).

I miscounted the half dollars, it was only 16 1964 kennedy's. not 18.

Oh yeah im definitely keeping on stacking that silver!!

Went on a 4 hour CWR run today, have 1800ish to go through still, but I did find 1 64 kennedy, and 3 40%ers loose, and also a solid roll of 40%ers, it had 1967 written on the roll twice, so I HAD TO OPEN IT ASAP!!! Lol... Sure enough it was all silver!! didnt date check yet, to see it it was all 67's. I did get another 10 rolls with that one special roll, so hopefully there is more goodies to be found tonight!

HH all!!!

So I know some people CRH SBA dollar coins. I got 12 of them, 11 are 1979, and the other is 1980. Is there anything I should look for? Thinking it might have been part of the coin collection... Also about 10 gold dollars. Any tips ppl?

1979 Wide Rim SBAs are worth keeping.
