2nd time out...

[diverwannabe]

Yesterday I put down 100.00 on halves and didn't get squat. I went to a bank today cashing in my halves and took out another 300 and started hitting up banks in the area. I am pretty suprised how many banks are actually in this little area. Anyways my first bank had two rolls of 10 and a few loose halves. I hit a few more banks that didn't have any. The walmart closest to my house has a bank in it also there is this game in the breezeway where you can actually win 90% silver coins. I decided to try my luck today on the game I put in 1.50 and came up with a 1953 franklin. and an ike with a 1942 mercury dime. I ran into the bank in walmart and came out with 2 20.00 rolls. I hit a few more banks to get my 300.00 worth. In the end my grand total of silver found..

Pretty good score! I've never seen games where you can win 90% coins. With silver at the level it is I wonder if the profit is still there. Unless it's like those carnival games where by the time you've won the stuffed animal you've spent $20!

I have pretty much broke even with the win lose ratio playing this game. There is actually a standing liberty waiting to be won right now. I won twice in a row then I ran out of quarters :\ I have always been good at winning at these types of games though. I am half tempted to take my metal detecting quarters and head back to walmart to see if I can win it lol.

Add another walking half liberty to that list... Has anyone here tried buying rolls of the gold dollar coins? I swear all of the banks were trying to get me to buy these. Sure would be nice to find some real gold in those rolls.

Good Luck!!

Out of curiousity I bought $600 worth a few months ago at a Bank of America and did find a couple of keepers but nothing spectacular. The same teller says he's got $500 more just sitting in the vault. If I get bored maybe I'll take 'em off his hands. I wish Ikes came in that frequently.

i'd do it

Yeah I ended up going back and scored that walking half. Well its 5:55 am and still dark outside. I am waiting for dawn so I can hit up my metal detecting site then its off to hunt down more halves. I think every time I go looking for halves I am going to head to walmart and test my luck to see how my day is going to go .

What keepers did you find?

The $600 was a mixture of Sacs and SBAs and I found a 1981-S SBA (all 81's were released only in mint sets) and a 2002-D Sac. All Sacs from 2002-2006 are like Kennedy halves and not released for circulation.

I did that search last fall before I contributed to this site. In fact I'm not sure if there was a roll hunting board then.
