[Walla183]

Opted to roll hunt during lunch today. Area near work has some older populations, so I rolled the dice.

Bank 1: $16


Bank 2: $2 skunk
Bank 3: No halves
Bank 4: $1.50 skunk
Bank 5: No halves
Bank 6: $2 skunk

Grabbed four boxes, opened two before dinner.

The bad:

I just dumped $200 worth, why do I have to find more

The good:


The totally awesome:

Hey, I like that half Balboa!! I've found a couple of newer ones but that takes the cake!!!!

Thanks Florida. Date on it is 1930 - most definitely silver. I thought it was a 90% by the edge, quite a surprise when I flipped it over.

Two more boxes tonight, 4 tomorrow plus water cwr/teller trays I pickup.

It is, a Panama balboa is 90% in the dates the US half was.

Sweet Balboa! Foreign silver coins are always a treat.

Sweet Balboa.. I am still waiting for my first silver one.. I have found numerous clads, but never a silver.. Awesome haul dude..

Same here with the Panamanian halves. I've found a lot from the 1980s but none from before 1971.

The gold ones with stickers on them or just gold colored are annoying. I feel I have to keep them because they look different, but they're a hard sell and each one ties up another 50¢ of bankroll.
